What were some of the reasons you chose to pursue the Cal position? Best of luck this year!

I reminded my team after the Santa Clara game yesterday that one of the reasons I chose to come to Cal was partly because of them. I saw the talent and the potential in what they could do. I was also looking for a new challenge after 12 seasons coaching at Santa Clara. It had to be a perfect fit, and I think it is. Before taking the job at Cal, I thought I would finish my career as a Bronco. Now, I'm happy to be a Bear.

What advice would you give to young high schoolers in search of a college?

I'm assuming you mean high schoolers in search of a college scholarship. I believe it's important to play in leagues and tournaments over the summer, especially your sophomore and junior years. It's one of the best ways to be recognized.

If you feel your more of an unknown player, I recommend sending a letter and a full game tape, not a highlight tape, to college coaches.
