Way back in the offseason, Cal hired Tim O’Toole as an assistant coach, and there generally wasn’t much opinion about him either way in these parts. My take, at the time, might lead to some retroactive laughs considering the pain Cal just inflicted upon ASU:
O'Toole has received some notoriety for helping Stanford install certain zone principles O'Toole picked up while working at Syracuse. While interesting, I'd be shocked if Cal moves away from Cuonzo's bread and butter man-to-man in situations other than absolute desperation. And considering how good Cal's defense was last season, any change would be asking for trouble.
