Agree with this. And, why is knownuttin using Monty as his advisor. Recently Monty stated it was difficult, nay impossible, to succeed at Cal. Monty, IMO, is out of touch with this era player, NIL and recruiting. It makes no sense to rely on him. But of course this makes knownuttin "feel" comfortable or some shit. Lastly, why would Monty…

I have no knowledge of Madsen's coaching ability be he gone once furd fires Haase. Also, can Madsen recruit??
Could be a parting shot from a lame-duck AD. He can argue that he made a professional and thorough search, soliciting the help of longtime Cal notables, and made his decision accordingly.
Also, I wonder if Christ is purposely holding back firing JK, in case the investigation finds cause. Restricting JK in the MBB hiring process could be seen as a prejudice or something. JK has the front or patina of due diligence and professionalism for the search, but sets a tone in the hire that seems to risk a similar outcome to Fox. In fact, if MM fails, then, perhaps, JK can boast it's us, not him, that's the problem.
Just some thoughts.
I do not watch much Cal BB, but I'd love to have a good reason to.
Faraudo floated the idea that Knowlton should solicit Monty’s help in a recent article and it was just a horrible f-ing idea. Monty is the poster child for the Get Off My Lawn old-white men coaching fraternity…he should have been nowhere near this damn hire.
In vintage incompetent Knowlton fashion, now both he and Monty have got their hands all over it. The fact that Carol Christ gave the tool full autonomy to actually make this hire despite formally being under investigation is equally laughable.
Madsen has been exposed to two very good coaches. We’ll see how he does with this…unfortunately, even though Cal is a mess, in the NIL/Portal era, he honestly doesn’t have a long time for a rebuild. Knew Knowlton was not the man for this job when he gave Fox a built in excuse about Cal being a “long rebuild.”
Not at all comfortable with Madsen. That having been said, I will defer to others who are more knowledgeable on the MBB coaching landscape.
I think Knowlton once again pussed out and used the absolute wrong person for advice: Monty. I don't share your optimism at all. Should the young men on the MBB team succeed, I of course will by happy for them and support them.

Each day that passes, I hate Knowlton more.
BI has an interesting article on the hiring process. It will make your blood boil.
There's a Fiat Lux on BI. Can you just imagine what I thought?
A name from the past…
Through a metamorphosis, I believe he lives on by another name.
Ya I read it earlier. My blood is boiling.
