Cal Officially Names Jarred Jackson Assistant Basketball Coach

Cal officially announced on Tuesday what had been reported previously, that Jarred Jackson, who spent three seasons as a Utah Valley assistant under Mark Madsen, has been added to Cal's basketball coaching staff.

He completes Madsen's coaching staff, joining Adam Mazarei, Amarrow Morgan, Matt Scherbenske and Ken Moses as assistant coaches.

A recent NCAA rule change increased the number assistant basketball coaches a Division I team can have from three to five. However, the two additional coaches will not be permitted to recruit off-campus.

"I'm thrilled to reunite with Jarred in Berkeley," Madsen said in a statement provided by Cal. "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."

"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 in a statement. "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."
