I agree players often don’t make the best coaches, and it depends on the person. Sometimes people here clamor for former players (like Mark Madsen) for coach just kind of assuming they must be great at coaching.

Um, Madsen has 70-51 record as a head coach, and has won two conference championships in four years. His first year he went 11-19, last year went 28-9. Seems to be doing something right. . . .

Yes, he Deion'ed the Utah Valley team and it worked. (He's doing the same with Cal.)

Did Madsen really boot 90% of both Cals and Utah Valley's teams his first year there? Did he bring along suitcases of cash and celebrities?

looks like seven transfers in on the posted roster
