Didn't Wyking Jones do the same thing in some press conference? When coaches stoop this low, you really have to wonder why they've chosen the job they have.
Somehow Fox/Knowlton have managed to outdo even Wyking. But Fox and Knowlton continue to give themselves the benefit of the doubt that wasn't given to Wyking, cause, well, you know . . .
Remember when MBB was fun? I had a 15 year stretch where I missed 3 home games in person. Last night when I noticed that the game was going to require me to jump through some hoops to watch on TV, I decided my time would be better spent washing dishes and listening to a podcast.
Thankfully the disaster of a narrow win was averted, despite the Tritons' best efforts. I believe UCSD had one FG in the final 6 minutes if the game and yet we still lost. Hopefully this finally ratchets up pressure on Fox's seat.
It feels disgusting and miserable to root against Cal in even a single game but continued bad losses are the only reason we might see change.
The only thing Cal MBB has going for it is that it has some recent history as a functional program that would get high caliber talent / student athletes and would compete for tournaments every few years. A good, not great program. The further we drift away from those years, the harder it will be to get back. It turns out the "safe" pick is very often the worst pick, because it sends the message to recruits, fans and amateur coaches that your heart is only half in it. No one cares to sign up for that, except only if the have to.
“Cal fell into a deep hole with a long scoring drought of an occasional field goal coupled with a parade of turnovers”
Did you just copy and paste that from a Cal football game describing the Cal football offense from this season? Cal football and Cal basketball has merged into one inept organism.
The only thing more embarrassing than the product is Fox’s constant blaming of players, specifically the “young guys.”
Short of not watching the team, not donating or spending $, and writing letters to Knowlton and Christ, not sure what else to do but I am open to suggestions.
Do you think Fox ever once discusses boxing out. I know its minor and not this teams only issue but I rarely see anybody box out for a defensive rebound. It the little fundamentals like this you have to get right if you can't recruit. Also whenever I see comments about lack of talent on the roster, that is all on Fox at this point. In year four it's basically all the guys you recruited and are supposed to develop.
Dennis Gates is 4-0 at Mizzou and looking like a god damn king on that sideline. Somehow he persevering over the wreckage that Cuonzo left him. Isn't it supposed to take a full decade or so to come out of? That's what we've been told.
Monty would have this team 3-0. Braun would have this team 3-0. We are losing for reasons of How To as well as Want To. What a dark winter this will be.
I stopped paying attention to Mark Fox over a year ago.
He has been on my "Who would u like to punch in face?" list for a long time at #1.

UCSD? What the heck? Bring back Wyking Jones!!!

Remember when Musselman wanted this job? Not long ago ago, and yet forever ago already.
Carol Christ cares more for wraparound porches than wraparound passes...
Burn it all down.
A 1 basket loss in a close, competitive contest against a comparable opponent. Could have easily gone either way.
