From Staff and Wire Reports
By transforming a disgruntled California basketball team into an NCAA tournament competitor, Todd Bozeman won himself a coaching job.
Bozeman, the 29-year-old assistant who took over when Lou Campanelli was fired during the season, was rewarded with a multiyear contract one day before the Golden Bears, seeded sixth in the Midwest Regional, face 11th-seeded Louisiana State in the tournament’s first round.
Cal, 10-7 when Campanelli was fired, won nine of its last 10 games, including an upset of then-No. 3 Arizona, to gain its second NCAA tournament berth in 33 years.
