Often a game's outcome is determined by one important phase of the game when a team makes its move. Maddog Madsen impacts this time in the game as much as any player in the NBA today.

When I think of basketball camp, I think back on walking in to the San Ramon Valley High School gym each day during the summer to see my old high school coach and good buddy, John Raynor. To me those days of basketball camps and long gone, but the memories will remain. John Raynor was my basketball coach during four years of high school and he has remained a close friend to this day. It was amazing to me to see how hard work could change an athlete and make him or her so much better over the course of time. And John Raynor worked us very hard each day. One of my teammates who would come to the summer basketball camp diligently each year was Dan Schneider. To be honest, Dan was someone who did not play much on the frosh or the JV team very much. He was slender, left handed and he wasn’t very strong as a frosh or sophomore. But the one thing that set Dan Apart from everyone else is that there was no way to measure the size of his heart, his character or his work ethic. By the time Dan’s senior year rolled around, he was one of the best players on the Varsity team. All of his work during the summer hours of camp had paid off and his shooting made him one of the best players in the EBAL. (East Bay Athletic League). Dan loved the game so much that I remember one time I pulled up at Central Park in Dublin and I watched as Dan drove down the lane and dunked the ball. It was pretty awesome to see him do it. To this day, I look back on those summer days at camp as some of the greatest memories of my life.
