This was Twogood's fifth and final year at Idaho; he coached baseball in the spring and then went to San Francisco for a year, served in the U.S. Navy during World War II, returned to USC in Los Angeles, and was the Trojans' head basketball coach for sixteen seasons (1950–66).

Idaho's athletic department underwent a major overhaul in March 1941 with the hiring of George Greene as athletic director, Francis Schmidt as football coach, and Guy Wicks as basketball and baseball coach.
