Did Fox resign in the post game? If not, why not? And if not, why did Knowlton not terminate him?

"Chancellor Christ? I know I'm the AD, but is it OK if someone else fires the MBB Coach... sorry, I forgot his name... Chancellor? Chancellor?"

could be a good young core if the new coach can hold onto Newell, Okofor and Bowser

all teams need shooters, and Bowser looks like a shooter, with a balanced, high pull up jumper, and a smooth 3 point shot that he can get off quickly

We need a PG and a minimum of one big (haven't we been saying that for a while?, and the incoming freshmen commitment is not the answer)

Ok. Finally the end. What started with the usual hope of a surprisingly good season, quickly revealed itself as the worst fiasco in my entire fan life as a Bear. Mercifully, it is over. I'm proud of the players who really did seem to hustle and grind and give it their best. Go Bears for them. For the coach, and now AD, let's see the changes that Fiat Lux would call upon happening. We are the sons and daughters of California, a beacon to the world for innovation, determination, and triumph. Let's turn this basketball program into something worthy of our history.

Yes, like all alums I work day and night for the university as an ambassador of all that is most worthy of our praise!

Highly and yet sporadically. Sort of like a consultant. Except I don't get to control my own contracts and business. Perhaps more like an investor. Yes, like an investor. Some years I get great dividends and the cash price is high, but I never really sell. Some years the dividends are totally absent and the price is bottom dwelling. But like the age-old investing wisdom dictates, I hold for the long term!

I guess this means that Fox will get an extension tomorrow.

Really glad we kept Mark Fox around all year instead of ending this charade early.

Expand full comment

Keeping him around really helped us get that #1 draft pick…

Has Fox been fired yet?

Our great national nightmare is over.

Not over yet

No no, we can never be certain Knowlton will fire anyone.

The game is over, why hasn’t Fox been fired yet?

Expand full comment

Because, Knowlton.

3-29. Bro.

I’m somewhat disappointed we even won that many games.

Expand full comment

Only took us shooting nearly 60% combined from both the field and beyond the arc to get those 3 wins.

Talk about outliers.

Expand full comment

12-game and 16-game losing streaks in the same season. Wow!

Expand full comment

It seems mathematically impossible.

Less wins than the football team managed -- in twenty more games.

Incomprehensible.

Fewer than Wilcox...yikes. Just, yikes.
