Dan Monson was informed last week he would no longer coach Long Beach State after this season, yet the team has advanced to the NCAA tournament.
Last Monday, Long Beach State announced it would be seeking a new basketball coach. Five days later, Dan Monson reminded the school it already had one. In one of the maddest storylines of March, Monson’s team did not go quietly in what was supposed to be his final week on the job. Losers of five consecutive games, the Beach rolled through the Big West Conference tournament with victories over UC Riverside, UC Irvine and UC Davis.
Known for ambitious nonconference scheduling and off-color jokes — he once cracked that he favored son Maddox, a walk-on guard, over other players because he was trying to sleep with his mother — Monson, 62, is the son of former Oregon coach Don Monson, who was on hand for his son’s latest triumph Saturday night. Dan got his coaching start under onetime UCLA coach Gene Bartow at Alabama Birmingham in 1986 before becoming an assistant at Gonzaga from 1988-97.
