Head Coach, Utah Valley University Men's Basketball & Two-Time NBA Champion

Head Coach, Utah Valley University Men's Basketball & Two-Time NBA Champion
Mark Madsen is the head coach of the Utah Valley men's basketball team.
Madsen is a two-time NBA champion, former Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach, and a Stanford Athletics Hall of Famer. He is just the third head men's basketball coach in UVU's 16-year Division I history.
Madsen led his team to a 20-win season in 2021-22, finishing with a 20-12 overall record. His team finished its home slate with an impressive 11-2 record at home. Madsen has led the Wolverines to a 19-6 record at home over the next two seasons. Madsen's team also upset Pac-12 foe Washington on the road in Seattle during that season. The win marked UVU's third win over a team from a Power 6 conference.
Under Madsen's guidance, Fardaws Aimaq earned back-to-back WAC Defensive Player of the Year honors.
Utah Valley won the SoCal Challenge championship during the 2021-22 campaign, defeating both Idaho and Nicholls State to claim the championship skimboard trophy in San Juan Capistrano, California.
Madsen's team went an impressive 9-3 in non-conference play last season, including wins over Pepperdine, Long Beach State, Idaho, Nicholls State, Denver, No. 12 BYU, and Washington.
Madsen's team has become the first NCAA Division I program to wear a jersey patch in the fight against cancer. His team partnered with 5 For the Fight, debuting the patch in its win over No. 12 BYU.
In Madsen's second season with UVU in 2020-21, UVU returned just two players and welcomed 16 newcomers. His team was picked seventh in the WAC preseason polls entering the 2020-21 season. Despite the odds against the team, Madsen led the Wolverines to a WAC regular season title, just the second WAC title in UVU history and its first since the 2014 season. The Wolverines were one of the most unselfish teams in the nation, averaging 16.8 assists per game, which ranked 11th nationally. Madsen's 2020-21 team was the only team in the WAC to defeat every team in the league.
Four of Madsen's players earned All-WAC honors in 2021, including first team, second team, and honorable mention awards. Under his tutelage, Fardaws Aimaq became the first player in UVU history to earn both WAC Player of the Year honors and the WAC Defensive Player of the Year award.
Madsen enjoyed a successful first year at UVU during the 2019-20 season. His team fought through injuries and adversity to pick up 11 wins, including a 68-62 win at North Dakota State, which finished the season with a 13-1 home mark, won the Summit League, and was on its way to the NCAA Tournament. UVU was the only team to defeat the Bison at home during the 2019-20 season. The Wolverines played tough on the road during the 2019-20 season, picking up wins at North Dakota State, UAB, Wyoming, and Grand Canyon.
Madsen's 2019-20 team was the first since the 2013-14 WAC Championship UVU team to sweep Grand Canyon, picking up a 73-69 win GCU and a 92-80 win over the 'Lopes at home. The Wolverines also nearly knocked off No. 9 Kentucky on the road, coming back from a 16-point deficit to cut the UK lead to just one point, 68-67, with 3:26 to play. UVU's TJ Washington scored 22 points and was featured on ESPN SportsCenter's Top-10 plays after the game that night.
During Madsen's first season, UVU broke the all-time single season team blocks record with an impressive 157 swats.
Madsen's first year was cut short due to the corona virus. The Wolverines were unable to play in the WAC Tournament because of the pandemic.
Prior to Utah Valley, Madsen spent six seasons as an assistant coach for the Los Angeles Lakers. He was a two-time NBA champion as a player with the Lakers (2001 and 2002), and he played for the Minnesota Timberwolves for six seasons.
Following his playing career, Madsen served as an assistant coach with the Utah Flash of the NBA G League before returning to his alma mater, Stanford University, where he earned an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business. That same year, he was named an assistant coach at Stanford on Johnny Dawkins' staff and spent the season working in recruiting, opponent game planning, and player skill development.
Madsen spent four years as a player at Stanford (1996-2000), where he earned All-American honors in each of his final two seasons while helping the Cardinal to four NCAA Tournament appearances, including the 1998 Final Four. He gained the nickname "Mad Dog" while at Stanford for his aggressive style of play. The nickname stayed with him throughout his NBA career. Madsen averaged 10.9 points and 7.0 rebounds per game during his four seasons with the Cardinal. He ranks fourth all-time in field goal percentage (58.7) and sixth in rebounds (857). During his time at Stanford, the team compiled an impressive 105-24 overall record.
A native of Danville, Calif., Madsen earned his undergraduate degree in economics in 2000. He graduated from San Ramon Valley High School and served a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Spain. He and his wife, Hannah, have two sons (William and Leroy) and one daughter, Alexandria.
