Madsen, a former Stanford star, arrives in Berkeley after taking Utah Valley to the NIT semifinals.
“Sometimes that’s lost – the human side to this game,” Madsen said. “Phil was unique. He brought in spiritual sides. ‘Eyes closed, tongue on the roof of your mouth.’ I remember like it was yesterday. He’d say, ‘We are conspiring together through breath.’ … Basketball is not just about putting the ball in the basket, Xs and Os. It’s about people.”
Nobody is more excited to be back here than Madsen. His parents moved to Utah 20 years ago, his siblings are scattered across the nation, but he said his best friends still live nearby. Even the Bay Area air made him nostalgic when Knowlton picked him up from the airport Monday, a day after Madsen’s wife, Hannah, gave birth to their fourth child, Anastasia.
