11 p.m., Pac-12 Network Oakland (0-2) at California (2-0)
The Golden Grizzlies have been godawful in their first two games, losing on the road to North Carolina and UCLA by a combined 54 points. As for Cal, it looks like 6-foot-5 sophomore guard Tyrone Wallace (18 ppg, 50.0% fg) is primed to fill the void left by Allen Crabbe.

I love that Bo Ryan is willing to play a true road game against a quality midmajor team in his home state -- especially after starting out against St. John's (neutral) and Florida (home). Point guard Josh Gasser did not score in the win over the Gators, so Ryan needs to try to get him going early in this one.

Glass ceiling: Why women aren't coaching men's D-I hoops--USA Today
Since then, only two other women have become full-time assistants on Division I men's college basketball staffs, according to USA TODAY Sports research: Stephanie Ready at Coppin State and Jennifer Johnston at Oakland University. Both times, like Mattox, the women were sought out for the jobs; they didn't apply. And both Ready and Johnston were out of the men's game by 2002.Report: Oakland’s Duke Mondy, Dante Williams not charged with rape (UPDATED)--CollegeBasketballTalk
...
Male players won't want to play for women. They won't respect them. They won't take orders from them. Women are too soft, too emotional, too fragile. Even if they played the sport, they can't possibly understand it as well as their male counterparts do. And, of course, women don't belong in the men's locker room.
Mattox, Ready and Johnston debunk all of those claims.
All three report having overwhelmingly positive experiences with players. They say their backgrounds helped (Mattox was Georgia's first All-American; Ready and Johnston both played college ball, too), and they built relationships with players during offseason individual workouts. Still, it took time to earn respect.

Oakland coach Greg Kampe says Johnston "did a heck of a job" for him, and if he'd had to do it all over, he'd hire her again.
"I thought our players – after it took a little while to get used to it – I think they really appreciated that she was on the staff," Kampe says. "She brought a different perspective, especially with off-court situations. They would go to her with social issues, from girlfriends to everything."
...
Fellow coaches on staff soon admired their female colleagues both for their coaching competence and their temperament in difficult situations. Donovan remembers Mattox's grace when dealing with all the media attention. Kampe recalls a game against IUPUI where a man heckled Johnston, screaming sexually-charged commentary, to the point where Kampe felt he had to do something.
"I stopped the game, went to the referees and asked for the guy to be removed, and told them what he was saying," Kampe says. "I've never done anything like that in my life. It was really bad, and those are the things that are out there. It's different. It's hard.
"I don't want to compare it to Jackie Robinson, but the things that were said and yelled at him are going to be said and yelled at a female. They were. I experienced it."
...
Mitchell, who doubled as Coppin State's athletic director at the time, was willing to gamble on Ready because she'd played at the school and he'd seen her coach the women's volleyball team. Kampe gambled on Johnston because he was familiar with her as a player, knew her college coach and had to fill an introductory level, low-paying job as Oakland moved from Division II to Division I. Despite blowback from his administration, Kampe hired Johnston. In addition to her knowledge of the game, he gained some positive publicity from the hire (just as Pitino did, which was sorely needed while Kentucky was recovering from a scandal under former coach Eddie Sutton that kept the Wildcats off TV and out of the postseason).
...
Two of the women featured here — Mattox and Johnston — ended up coaching women's basketball after they left the men's game, illustrating what Kampe calls a "glass ceiling. There is no upward mobility for female assistants in the men's game; they have no shot at being hired as a head coach unless they coach women, he and other administrators feel.
...
Johnston left Oakland in 2002 to take a job on the women's staff at the University of Toledo, a big pay increase. Four years later, she helped found Rauner College Prep, a charter school in Chicago, and launch its athletic department. These days, she remains its athletic director and physical education teacher. But Johnston still says her dream job was the one she got when she was 23.
The reminders are subtle near her desk at Rauner – a couple of photos from her Oakland days, a copy of an article from her hometown newspaper. When her students first noticed them a couple of years ago, they couldn't believe what their teacher had done a decade before.
"I tell them, but you know teenagers don't listen so well," Johnston says, laughing. "They really are interested in it. My students who are really into basketball will pick my brain, make me play with them, stuff like that."
She pauses.
"I don't think they realize how unique of a situation I was in."

2) Oakland will be without the services of Duke Mondy and Dante Williams when they take on California in Berkeley (11:00 p.m., Pac-12 Networks), as the two were sent home by head coach Greg Kampe. The Golden Grizzlies will still have high-scoring guard Travis Bader, but they’ll have their hands full with Justin Cobbs and company.

Disturbing Rape Allegations At Oakland Two key Oakland players, Duke Mondy and Dante Williams, were charged with rape yesterday. Later in the day the charges were reportedly dropped, though both players were suspended. It's a disturbing case, and something to keep an eye on. Also, let's hope that if a rape did happen, that the offenders get the proper punishment. There have been too many cases in recent years of badly behaving star athletes intimidating witnesses into silence while school officials look the other way.Jabari Bird Inspires Cal Bears to Gritty, 64-60 Win Over Oakland--Bay Sports Report
