Multiple times. He is the only coach that I have observed in the PAC12 that frequently stands on the court during play. In fact, I've never seen a coach ~ in any conference ~ do that! Caught on TV, he flailed his arms all about and smacked one of his assistances (the short one with a bald head) flush in the face, he didn't even look around to see if the coach was OK much less apologize. Fox has had multiple technicals called on him & he was kicked out of a game. In general, BB coaches are way too dramatic for my liking ~ but it appears to be an accepted norm.
I do not feel he represents Cal well at all. He isn't in the same league as Neu, Smith, or Wilcox not to mention our water polo / swim coaches and the new softball coach. And he isn't on the same planet as Jack Clark. I was fortunate enough to play for Jack and Fox ain't Jack Clark.
If he walked into my living room to recruit my kid, I would know in a matter of seconds it was a hard "no".
"He is the only coach that I have observed in the PAC12 that frequently stands on the court during play."
ALL Coaches do this, to varying degrees. To me, Fox is middle of the pack on this.
Fox was kicked out of the Zona game. Some coaches do this to see if it motivates their players to kick into another gear, especially in a losing cause to see how the team responds. I'm not saying Fox had ulterior motives, but again Fox is no better or worse than other coaches who receive technicals.
I look at Hurley, Haase, even Altman, and I hate their sideline demeanor. To me, Fox is just fine on the sidelines and in postgame pressers.
And NO ONE can measure up to Jack Clark. That's unfair to everyone.
