Anytime you see a mismatch, this game and in your career, go to the mismatch.
From time to time people ask me where did you get the nickname,
because off the court they don't they don't see that part of my personality,
but the nickname Mad Dog was given to me in fifth grade by my PE teacher Mr. Cornell.
Bunch of fifth graders running around and he gave everybody nicknames and that was the
nickname he gave me.
My name is Mark Madsen I'm an assistant coach for the LA Lakers.
I grew up in Danville, California, I'm the fifth of ten children in my family five boys and five girls.
I mean when I was really young I wanted to be an NBA basketball player and then I hit junior high and I realized there's no
way I'm gonna be an NBA basketball player unless I can make the junior high
school team. I just kept working hard and I grew a little bit that helped and
ultimately you know things worked out and I was able to play in the NBA,
but that was the dream from the time I was young.
So when I finished playing basketball I was really given a lot of thought to
what I was gonna do I decided I really wanted to pursue coaching.
The owner of the Utah flash his name was Brandon Anderson and he offered me a job as an assistant
coach for twenty five thousand dollars a year, and that was my first first year in
coaching was at that time at the D-League in Orem Utah.
During that year I really had a desire to go back to grad school. I was wanted to become a more
well-rounded person. I just felt like life spans are getting longer and longer
and I thought when I'm 70 when I'm 80 I want to have that knowledge that I could
learn from the NBA and so it was the Stanford program was a good program
really enjoyed it made some lifelong friends and I learned a lot.
I had finished my first year at Stanford and there was a vacancy with the LA Defenders.
Obviously I've known the bus family since I played here and that
interview took place they offered me the head coaching job and that was April.
Well, when the end of May hit Mitch Kupchak
and Mike D'Antoni reached out and said hey we actually have a vacancy on the
Laker staff and, I was kind of going back and forth because yeah the thought of
being a head coach in the D-League versus an assistant with the Lakers both
are exciting and so I had a phone call Mike D'Antoni the weekend I was gonna
decide it's great call we hung up minute later Mike D'Antoni texted me and
he said, "Hey really I'll respect whatever decision you make, but just remember the
shrimp cocktail tastes better with the big boys."
Let's get a stop defense let's get a stop. My coaching philosophy has
a lot to do with the ball movement hit the open man and playing with tremendous energy.
People ask me why do you like the triangle offensively.
I like it because you can close your eyes and you can know exactly where the other four men on the court are gonna be in most situations.
You can catch the ball in the key spot
which is how Phil calls the spot, you can literally close your eyes and know
exactly where your teammates are going to be and so I think it'll cut down
turnovers it'll increase the flow and people know where the shots are coming from.
I've been fortunate to have some great parents and I've had some great leaders at church.
My faith is important to me my wife Hannah is from Utah we were married
in the Salt Lake Temple and she's just she's a joy to be around amazing person.
I think my family is my biggest thing my little son who's between 4 and
5 months old the first game that William came to he had
headphones on because the arena can get loud. So all the coaches were waving
at him waving at my wife it was a lot of fun I felt really supported it was
just I think a fun thing for us as a family I think a fun thing or for the
staff and the players. I would love to become a head coach either in the NBA or
in college and I'm working every day to attain that. Having played in the NBA for
nine years I feel like I have the ability to understand NBA players to
understand that it can be difficult to be an NBA player. In those tough moments
when you're not playing well, when the team is not doing as well. I can empathize
with that and have compassion when a guy plays terribly, because I've experienced it
I've experienced highs and lows, if you want to know the sweet you have to know the bitter
and there have been some tough times here, where we've we haven't
been back to the playoffs in a while. Four, five, six years that's
been tough. It's been tough on the fan base, it's been tough on the bus family,
on all parts of management and the coaching staff, but the beautiful thing
is we are rebuilding it and so with Luke Walton here everyone has just harnessed
in the same vision. Luke's vision and the vision of Magic Johnson and we're
all pushing not just for the playoffs but to be back to the championship level.
Next time we win a championship the dance is definitely coming back.
This time hopefully with a little more rhythm.
