Mike Montgomery Takes Over Men's Basketball At Cal
Posted: 12:37 pm PDT April 5, 2008
BERKELEY -- Mike Montgomery is taking over Cal's men's basketball program with promises to take the Golden Bears to the same heights he reached at Stanford. The veteran coach appeared in Berkeley Saturday after he agreed to a six-year contract at Cal nearly four years after he left Stanford for a dismal stint with the Golden State Warriors. Montgomery won 393 games and four Pac-10 titles at Stanford, and he sees no reason Cal can't enjoy the same success. Montgomery replaces Ben Braun, who was fired last week after 12 mostly unsuccessful years at Cal, including a ninth-place finish in the Pac-10 this season. Most recently, Montgomery has been a broadcaster and an assistant to Stanford athletic director Bob Bowlsby.
