I have a lot of respect for Ben, said Tarkanian, the veteran coach with 733 victories who has led the Bulldogs to their second consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance. Tarkanian said Cal is fortunate to have a coach who is filet mignon all the way. Ben showed a tremendous amount of loyalty turning down the Michigan job four years ago, Tarkanian said. When you are talking about Michigan, you are talking about one of the top three places to win. Reminded Michigan has an opening now, Tarkanian added, He might have to do it again.
Cal fans don t have to worry about that one.
Braun has done all the hard work his first five seasons getting Cal through NCAA sanctions for Bozeman s cheating along with playing off campus while waiting for Haas Pavilion to be constructed. He s ready for the gravy. The mistake a lot of players make when they get to this level is they forget to enjoy the experience, Braun said. It is important for our players to enjoy it. It is important that a player like Lampley has a great experience.
