Utah Valley's Mark Madsen, the former Stanford star and NBA veteran, has been hired to be Cal's next head coach, the school announced Wednesday.
Madsen guided Utah Valley to a regular-season WAC championship this season, and the Wolverines advanced to the NIT semifinals before losing 88-86 to UAB in overtime Tuesday night. They finished their season 28-9 overall and 15-3 in conference play.
Over the past three seasons, Madsen and Utah Valley are 34-15 in WAC play.
Before replacing Mark Pope at Utah Valley in 2019, Madsen spent six seasons as an assistant coach with the Los Angeles Lakers.
