New coach for the Bears

Former Stanford coach Mike Montgomery is reportedly headed to Berkeley to become the new Cal basketball coach. Seems like a sensible move by the Bears, Montgomery's definitely a good coach and the Cardinal did make the tournament 10 straight years under his leadership before he made the ill-fated decision to take the Warriors job. I will say that this highlights how the Cal/Stanford rivalry can't really compare to some of the more storied ones in college sports: could you imagine Coach K quitting Duke and starting to coach at NC after taking a few years off? Or Jim Calhoun and Jim Boeheim switching places in the Big East? Both Cal and Stanford are probably going to be pretty terrible next year anyway (Cal loses Anderson and Hardin, Stanford probably loses both Lopez Twins), but the hiring will make for an interesting set of games in Maples and Haas come next winter.
