Utah Valley has a plan on offense. What a concept!
Can we get their center? That would be a start. It is fun to watch someone who doesn't have Lars hands of stone
Hey, maybe Monty does know something about coaching and coaching talent.
Did Madsen implement the triangle offense?
I read that while the offense isn't that efficient the ratio of assists to field goals is very high which sounds like a lot of ball movement which could indicate the triangle.
If Bandaogo can't transfer and join MM at Cal perhaps MM should ask Jerome Randle to identify and recruit an alternative from the NBA Africa League.socaltownie said:

In one of the videos (I think it was the promotional one about him joining the Lakers staff) he said he likes the triangle offense. So I'm assuming that's part of his base bag.
UVU has looked gassed for the last 10 minutes but still hanging on. UAB much more aggressive now.

Flew all the way to Senegal to get him. No worries about a Monty recruiting repeat.
He averages 11 pts, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks a game.
I doubt he is transferable as he started at Akron and transferred once already.
But any team could use his stats.
Short answer: No, but workarounds are possible.
Please give to Cal Legends at https://calegends.com/calegendsdonate/donate-football/ and encourage everyone you know who loves Cal sports to do it too.

Any chance this entire team could transfer to Cal?
Good outcome for us. Confirms that Madsen is an exceptional coach. Now get the contract signed quickly.
Both teams were prepared and well coached, very entertaining game. I watched Madsen throughout the entire game. He encourages his players and was patient during the poor start to the game. His sideline demeanor is so much better than our previous coach!!
Really like his offense. NBA style offense (not surprising considering his background). Good spacing. Plays bigs outside so inside isn't clogged. Lot of drives and either layups or kick out for threes. Saw a lot of horn sets, high PnR, even a little triangle (ofc!)
Love the pace and how they push on every stop. Lot of transition threes. Very high energy. Night and day difference from the 1980s offense we've been running.

UVU a couple of threes from a win. As others have said, a much better look than we're accustomed to.

(Small sample size not withstanding) I'm sold. Not just the on court performance of his team, but his demeanor throughout.
And a good interview--recognized the human interest angle of the impending birth so discussed that, but then moved the focus to his team, talked specifics, stayed connected to his interviewer... seemed gracious the whole time.
You can show a lot about who you are in a very short time.

If you get a chance to read some Madsen interviews do it. The guy is a class guy! This guy is a huge addition for Cal on and off the court.

He played at Akron last year, right?
Wow a coach giving full attention and effort for his team in a post-season tourney even when it's obvious he's got one foot out the door. Imagine that.
He averaged only three points and three rebounds a game for Akron and went home to Senegal with the prospect of not coming back. Madsen went there to recruit him and he now averages a double-double. Another example of great coaching.
imagine how hot and uncomfortable those green costumes would be for a whole gameannarborbear said:stu said:

Grew up with the Straw Hat Band, but this is my new favorite.

Madsen is no dummy: He was using tonight as a stage for his new act, "Getting the Donors Back".
I'm expecting the reviews to be pretty good!
also like the offensive style, but we will need the players to be successful in the Pac12ducky23 said:

Can we win with this style vs Oregon and Arizona?
We will soon see
However defensively, they were not impressive. Multiple easy layups and dunks by the other team.
Probably a function of playing fast
Those costumes probably feel great when the team wins.HoopDreams said:imagine how hot and uncomfortable those green costumes would be for a whole gameannarborbear said:stu said:

They already beat Oregon and Colorado with this style so sources say yes.
I agree it is very NBA. I notice that his players move really well without the ball and have good vision. The fast tempo both getting down the floor and in the half court is great. I would like more screening off the ball after the first action. On defense some zone would be nice. Even just to mix it up.ducky23 said:

It is very guard friendly, and I think it will succeed if he can pull some good guards. Rodney Brown should love it.HoopDreams said:also like the offensive style, but we will need the players to be successful in the Pac12ducky23 said:

Well it's also contingent on having a mobile big man who can set the high pick and then roll to the basket (thus taking the defensive focus with him and allowing shooters to get open)
His offense as currently constituted wouldn't work with a guy like Lars. It's handy having a 7 foot gazelle.
