Well the Cliff Notes are on the Cal basketball website. I'd provide a link, but I don't want to break the CardBoard.
Haha, I meant what Nerd Nation thought about his departure. I had heard rumblings that he wasn't quite asked to leave, but he didn't have much choice. Was the mood here happy or sad? Sorry, that was before I joined.
Trent's contract was up. Bowlsby thought he was for sure going to re-sign. Trent decided to take more money to go elsewhere (LSU), and Bowlsby didn't have a plan B. This led to the hiring of Dawkins, who cratered the program - not entirely his fault. Muir should have fired him 3 years earlier
