Thank you, Mark Fox, for your efforts. Success is neither easy nor guaranteed, at Berkeley in particular. Best to you and your family.

"This was a difficult decision and one that I do not take lightly." Blabbity, blabbity, f'ing blab! It would also be appropriate to say, "though Fox is a good guy, on-court results matter. They matter to our players, to our fans, alumni, and to our institution. The results that Fox delivered are simply unacceptable." These statements are always full of posturing, but why make a statement that postures in the completely wrong f'ing direction Knowlton!!!

As inevitable as this feels, it was not impossible for us to imagine that Knowlton would not act. So I feel relief. May this be our nadir. Fiat Lux!

I'm just gobsmacked that Knownothinglton would have the guts to say "this was a difficult decision". If THIS was a difficult decision then he has no business being anywhere near another athletic department. I'm super late to noknowlton bandwagon, but boy oh boy the incompetence is incredible.

Do any WfC writers think Mark Fox will get any coaching job (assistant or HC) at the Division I level ever again?

With apologies to Star Trek III...

Knowlton:

My God, Carol, what have I done?

Christ:

What you had to do; what you always do: turn death into a fighting chance to live.
