Mark Madsen Hires Former Utah Valley Assistant Coach

BERKELEY – Jarred Jackson, who spent three seasons helping Mark Madsen elevate the Utah Valley program to new heights, has joined the recently appointed California men’s basketball head coach’s staff as an assistant coach.
 
Jackson rounds out a standout coaching staff assembled by Madsen that includes associate head coach Adam Mazarei and fellow assistants Amorrow Morgan, Matt Scherbenske and Ken Moses. Jackson arrives in Berkeley following one season spent on the Coastal Carolina women’s basketball staff in 2022-23. Prior to his time with the Chanticleers, Jackson helped Madsen take Utah Valley from an 11-19 mark in their first season in 2019-20 to a 20-12 record in 2021-22.
 
“I’m thrilled to reunite with Jarred in Berkeley,” Madsen said. “Jarred’s on-court player development and advanced knowledge of the game played an instrumental role in the large amount of success we experienced together at Utah Valley. His coaching philosophies and ability to build impactful relationships with student-athletes will elevate our program’s culture. It’s great to welcome Jarred, his wife TyJha and their son Jace to Bear Territory.”
 
In his second season at Utah Valley, Jackson helped the Wolverines to a history-making 2020-21 season as they won the Western Athletic Conference regular-season title. It was only the second WAC title in Utah Valley history and the first since 2013-14.
 
A total of five Utah Valley players earned All-WAC honors during Jackson’s time in Orem including Cal signee Fardaws Aimaq, who was the 2021 WAC Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year.
 
“My family and I are both honored and thankful for the opportunity to reunite with Coach Madsen and to be welcomed into the Cal family,” Jackson said. “I have seen firsthand Coach Madsen’s ability to teach the game at the highest level, develop young men and lead his staff, all while treating everyone with dignity and respect. I’m extremely excited to get to work alongside this amazing staff as we bring Cal back to its winning ways.”
