Yes, it's him.  He's from San Ramon Valley High in Contra Costa County, not far from Cal Berkeley on the other side of the Caldicott Tunnel.

So a former Cal player, Jared Haase is coaching Stanford, while Mark Madsen, a former Stanford player, will be coaching arch-rival Cal.

And Cal will not be down forever.  Cal has had a number of good basketball teams over the years.  Jason Kidd played hoops at Cal, as did former Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson and many others.

I was at that game at what was then Key Arena...had to look it up Madsen had 15 points. Zags shot lights out from 3 point land and got the upset win. That was when Monson was their HC.

A fellow member of the morning coffee group, a former Cal player who suited up against the mighty UCLA Bruins in their glory years, was at the Meet and Greet for Coach Madsen yesterday in Berkeley. I’m interested to hear his report this morning. Madsen has already brought some energy to the Old Blues after 3-29.

I remember my dad taking me to the 1993 regionals at the beautiful Arena when I was a kid. Got to see Kidd and Cal take on Kansas while Calbert Cheney’s Hoosiers took on Crum’s Cardinals. Became a huge fan of both Kidd and Cheney after those games.
