Question for Madsen-philes….

If he had gone to Whatsamatta U., would you still feel as strongly about him as a candidate?  

One pitfall that needs to be avoided is selecting a guy based exclusively upon his membership in the Alumni Assoc.

Invalid comparison. Would he be better than Haase?

“Better than Haase” is not a very high bar to clear.  I would hope that Muir would be looking for a coach that could reach the tournament on a regular basis.

Ah so who about a top assistant at a top school like Duke North Carolina or ND. Yes Hasse had four years as a head coach but those three DiBiaso Dawkins Haase
didn’t work    Tom Davis fresh from a Final 4 didn’t work.  A former Stanford assistant Johnson worked some thanks to the Lopis.  So in  the past 60 years we have had one success.  Thus why not a Stanford alum?

And the one success graduated from Cal State Long Beach.  Who cares where the coach went to college?  If he can win on a consistent basis, no one will be checking his diploma.  

Heck, maybe Madsen is the answer.  I’m just suggesting that Muir cast a wide net….

Here’s an idea - maybe he can find a Cal guy to pair with Taylor.  Jason Kidd, anyone?    ;)

Haase is a Cal guy.  Maybe that’s the problem?  The last time we thought the low bar was “better than Dawkins”, and yet here we are.

Although he played one year at Cal, he was a Kansas guy.
