college ball with Madsen as coach.
Then show me where multiple players said they were going to work out at Cal over the summer because Madsen is there. Show me a quote where a future HOF said he is going to check out Cal because of Madsen.
I think you don't understand the draw. It isn't just that Kevin Young coached these guys. It is the relationship he has with them. It is the esteem at which the players hold him.
Booker fought for him to be the Suns HC. We all know Madsen was never close to that.
