Six years after taking Cal to its first Final Four, Lindsay Gottlieb stunned the basketball world in June of 2019 when she left to take an assistant coaching job with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

We cover some of the high points of Lindsay’s journey, from dreaming of playing shortstop for the Yankees to getting tossed out of a Hawaiian gym to receiving a surprise video message from Kobe Bryant before Cal’s Final Four run.
