As someone who has followed ACC basketball since 1981 (Goza! Goza!), I know that it is hard work just to be an also-ran in that conference. I am as close to actively rooting against Stanford as should be allowed, because the last thing Stanford needs is a miracle tournament berth to justify keeping Haase another minute. The ACC isn't what it once was when a Len Bias led Maryland would finish 5th out of 8 teams, but it is still so far above Haase's head that he simply can't be around in the new era.
Maybe Madsen should turn Cal around before being offered the Stanford job? I get that they have already won more games this year than all of last season, but that is a low bar. Something tells me Madsen will be happier at Cal anyway. I'd convince Tony Bennett his heart is near San Francisco, like half an hour without traffic on 280 and pedal to the metal. Give him successful startup just sold out to Google money. He knows the conference....
