Two Nor Cal coaches are included:

#19 Craig McMillan - Santa Rosa (CA)
Once an All-American four-year starter for Lute Olsen at Arizona before embarking on a coaching career that includes assistant stops at Marquette, Tennessee and professional head coaching stops in Kuwait and Lebanon. Son of a coach, his hoops history is evident when watching his Bear Cubs compete with unselfish, team-first fundamentals which have helped fill his trophy case with coach of the year awards. 

#17 Justin Labagh - City College of San Francisco (CA)
The Labagh led Rams have captured nine Coast Conference Championships, three Final Fours, two Elite Eight’s and three Sweet Sixteen’s. Along the way, he has compiled an overall record of 309–44. His teams have gone undefeated in conference play 4 years in a row finishing with a number 1 ranking all 4 years. Voted California JC Coach of the year four times. That is one impressive resume!

  2. I'm sure this included moving players to the next level from JC. Madec/Fresno and Smith/Sequoias don't accomplish this needed goal. Players don't go to JC to see their careers end!

  3. Andy Ground (Saddleback) or Ed Madec (Fresno City)?
