Jerod Haase should do well at Stanford but bringing Mark Madsen home would have been great.
Stanford basketball has hired a new basketball coach. I don't know much about Jerod Haase. I know he coached at UAB for four years. I know he took the Blazers to the round of 32 a year ago after stunning Iowa State (14 over 3). I know he learned from/with/alongside/under Roy Williams--as an assistant coach for 13 years at Kansas and North Carolina and as a player for three at Kansas. You see, Haase coming to Palo Alto is sorta, kinda a homecoming: he played one year at Cal and is originally from Tahoe.
