Sounds like a fantastic hire! Welcome to Coach Mazarei! I'm thinking this was only possible because the University and Cal donors stepped up with salary raises to match or beat what Vandy was paying, and credit to Coach Madsen for attracting this sort of talent on his staff. If you are a player, this is the start of a staff you know will coach you up and treat you right. Go Bears!
Sounds great, though I don't know enough to have an informed opinion. Having someone experienced in NBA preparation seems like a good thing.* In Mad Dog we trust.
*In Musgrave's case I think his NFL experience was a detriment because he assumed an NFL roster. The Mazarei skillset I'm referring to is more about player development, not scheme.
Pretty sure next year, given a strong non-conference performance and maybe .500 in conference that we can make the NIT. And if the cards fall in the right direction maybe squeak into the dance.

Random thought when seeing him for the first time:
"Now that 'Barry' is nearing its final season, I'm glad Noho Hank was able to find himself this new gig."
I think we will be better this year.

Can someone smarter than me tell me whether this seems like a good hire?
Bears a strong resemblance to Hingle McCringleberry.

So, what's his specific role going to be?
