F-me…Knowlton is preparing Fox extension as we speak….

KetamineCal's avatar

Nah, he's going to hire the UTA coach instead.

Victory for da Bears

Ridiculous that watching this game made me smile so much. Just happy for players to have some fun and have some things work. No matter how bad UTA is, we've lost to worse teams this year.

Glad the team got this monkey off their back. Hope they can build off of it, somehow.

Shocked we are up at the half w/out Askew. Anyone know what Fox's buyout clause is? I hear around $1-2M. I'm willing to put in the first $50K :)

Cal’s actually better without Askew tonight…the ball is moving. Askew, like Shepherd last year and Bradley the year before, tends to have the ball in his hand 2/3 of the shot clock, and the already feeble O tends to bog down because of it. Better ball movement today.

If terminated in year 4, he’s owed 50% of next years base salary and talent fee, which is about $2.15M.

So half of that…basically, a little over $1M…which is very doable had Knowlton not alienated the donors by hiring Fox in the first place.

Wouldn't the main donors still pony up to end this travesty despite hard feelings towards Knowlton?

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

I would think…they’re gonna have to because Knowlton’s such a boob that he’d probably give Fox a pass because of COVID/injuries and let Fox come back for year 5.

UTA does not look good. If we somehow lose this, Fox should be fired before he reaches the locker room.

Bears are finally gonna get a W

Kuany shot 11 free throws? All righty then.

No doubt about it, bring on Duke.

Perfect Season on the line!

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

This looks like a different team….or maybe UTA is just awful at basketball…

AirBear2015's avatar

Bit of both me thinks hahaha

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

How’d THAT team win Monday at War Memorial as 14.5 point ‘dogs? They’re horrible offensively.

hoopdreams's avatar

Brown, Lars and 2K had great games. I'm not sure I've ever seen a bigger smile on Joel's and Kuany's face

mrjpark's avatar

Damn it. This is enough to keep him, huh.

GoldenSD81's avatar

Happy and disappointed at the same time.

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

UTA is a horrible basketball team. How the hell they beat USF I’ll never know.

Maybe Cal is better without Askew’s ball hogging…

We genuinely are not as bad as our record.
