But of course at other positions the entire point is winning, so all you've done is amass experience proving how much not-winning you can accomplish.
The purpose of D-League is player development ... teaching ... coincidentally, this is what college coaches do at places that value the true definition of student-athlete ... places like Stanford. Maybe Madsen is looking for a chance to prove he can be a teacher-coach, something he isn't getting a chance to do under Stanford's current basketball regime that seems to be failing miserably in the area of player development.
