Tim O’Toole, new Cal assistant basketball coach, thankful for ‘miracle’

Tim O’Toole begins most days, pen in hand, jotting down thoughts in a well-worn notebook.

[...] it was not hyperbole Wednesday when O’Toole used “miracle” to describe his hiring last month as Cal’s new assistant men’s basketball coach.

[...] news surfaced the day of Dawkins’ dismissal that Cal was moving to fire assistant coach Yann Hufnagel amid allegations that he sexually harassed a female reporter.

O’Toole had mutual friends contact Cal head coach Cuonzo Martin, who set up an interview with him.

In 2006, O’Toole was fired after failing to lead Fairfield University to the NCAA Tournament in his eight years there.

[...] O’Toole accepted a job as managing director for an investment management company in Rye, N.Y.

Nights spent calling Big East games for SportsNet New York and ESPN kept O’Toole close to the sport.

[...] to the top, underneath Tony Robbins’ “Unlimited Power,” is “A Course in Miracles.”
