Cal has found its next men’s basketball coach in Mark Madsen, who faces the tall task of turning around a program that has had six consecutive losing seasons, including a 3-29 mark this winter.
Madsen, a former star at Stanford, coached Utah Valley to a 28-9 record this year and reached the NIT semifinals, where the Wolverines lost in overtime to Alabama-Birmingham on Tuesday night.
Madsen went 70-51 over four years at Utah Valley after coaching as an assistant at Stanford for the 2012-13 season and with the Los Angeles Lakers from 2013-2019.
