In this episode of Marching to Madness, we caught up with new Cal head coach Wyking Jones.
Jones takes over for Cuonzo Martin, who recently left the Golden Bears for Missouri.
Topics of discussion in this episode include:
- The player reaction to Jones taking over as the lead man in Berkeley
- What Jones has learned from coaches like Martin and Rick Pitino
- The California high school basketball scene and how it’ll affect the program’s recruiting going forward
- Development of the team’s young players last season
- The strength of the Pac-12 as a whole
- So much more
While some thought Cal would go outside of the program to hire its new head coach, Jones has the pedigree to succeed in the Pac-12.
