Mark Fox.

100% agree on Georgia getting rid of Fox. He was very good at Georgia only Hugh Durham was better. I think an argument could be made that Fox was better than Tubby there. Georgia never appreciated Durham. They have never appreciated Men's Basketball period. That is why they have the worst all time record in SEC Basketball. They should have never let Fox go...I am thrilled he is one of our coaches now.
Ok all silliness aside
I like Mark Fox. He seems like a good guy
That being said…he’s not a coaching type so much as an administrative type, IMO
I think he will do well in the role he has, but let’s be honest, there’s a reason he’s not a head coach. He may have a good basketball operations skills , as in understanding the fundamentals, player relations, working with NIL and perhaps preparation work. But in game coaching decisions not so much
I’m glad we hired him, as I said, I think he will do well in his role as an assistant

Sometimes we don’t understand most our coaches are not from here. Have been in different places ever year and we expect them to bleed blue. That’s why the fanbase has accepted CMP with open arms. He does. I firmly believe BBN let go of Cal a little bit when while he was winning big Ellen did an interview and was asked if they loved Kentucky enough to stay her when John retired. Her response was basically a HELL NO. We won’t retire here. BBN had its feelings hurt. His decline helped but BBN let go a little with that. The media kept that narrative going for weeks.
I don't think it's being fake. It's called being emotional, and because things are looking up it does change one's perspective on things. For most anyway.
Georgia results years after Fox left :
19-20 (16-16)
20-21 1(14-12)
21-22 (6-26)
22-23 (16-16)
23-24 (20-17)
ZERO bids
He had a couple of 21-12 and 20-14 seasons at Georgia, not great by any standards, well other than being a head coach at Georgia in recent years. SO those 2 tournaments he made, is 2 more than coaches after him.

DID NOT REALIZE THE ASSISTANT COACH WAS DOING ALL THE COACHING HERE. LOL!!! Take your fake UK Fandom and walk away.
OUR STAFF IS GOOD, our players will be better than most of the naysayers could ever imagine. Sit back buttercup, get ready to be mad all year as they prove you wrong week after week.
The guy is like 5 down on the list of coaches. Relax Sally.
I can’t say if Fox will be a good assistant or not; it remains to be seen. Just like the rest of the staff
As for Bruiser…I’m not sure what he actually did while here. We certainly didn’t see too many positive results
I’m also not sure what your purpose is for being on this board. You’ve made some decent statements that bear solid discussion, however the continual derogatory remarks to other members here negate any positive discourse.
But hey, hope you have a great day
I wish they made a new rule where brand new accounts couldn't post for the first 30 days.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
The preliminary finding is that you have set the current world record for chippiness about a 4th assistant college basketball coach in the history of the world.
While this will need to be confirmed there is every reason to believe the findings will be upheld.
Outstanding effort!!!
In the interim please feel free to review the duties of said assistant to minimize any residual frustration.
Right on. I threw a hissy rant about it, back then. I'm absolutely not a Georgia fan. It was a terrible call. Although he isn't by title a coach here. The basketball organization as a whole has a guy in Fox. That knows basketball, especially defense. We aren't gonna get infractions for guy giving advice to our Coach down the hall lol. SMH at some lol.
Mark Fox was a wonderful head coach, and that's why he stepped down as an assistant at Kentucky. That's what coaches do, right? Oh, yeah.
If anyone thinks Bruiser Flint is a better assistant than Mark Fox, that's the last thing you ever need to hear or read them say. Just walk away.

You're a weird SOB. Did Brusier pay you extra at the strip club? Is that what this is?
Fox is better than Flint you dolt. The only thing Flint was better than Fox at is cleaning out the strip club buffets.
Magilla Gorilla, married to a JMI employee, who has a weird agenda regarding football NIL. Having an axe to grind regarding fans support of Mark Stoops? Shocked I tell you!
Fox isn't gonna be coaching basketball on the sidelines like Brusier. He's gonna be handling NIL, like a GM.
Get ****ed idiot.
@Coco H Where do you work at UKAA? It's obvious you're employed in the athletic deparment the way you reverse cowgirl anyone connected to UKAA. Players, coaches, NIL donors.
Yeah, he's not a UK fan. He/she. Someone living in a basement on a UK message board at 2am.
You need mental help. I mean that. You think a ''real fan'' (made up BS btw) is 100% positive no matter what? You're a retard brother.
Kinda like when you said UK had top 5 NIL in the SEC in football? LOL
It no surprise why he sucked the last 4 years, he was never known as a recruiter and had a terrible roster. His style also worked when fouls weren’t called as much and the 3 wasn’t as important. The game probably passed him by. Doesn’t mean he was a bad coach though he just didn’t adapt.
Idk why anyone keeps trying to explain anything to that moron. Let em keep fantasizing about Cal.
Why do we argue so much with each other. We are all BBN. We all bleed blue. Let's get back to the topic of Coach Fox.
Good deal. I've never understood attacking fellow BBN. It helps no-one. Especially our recruiting.
Don’t worry about recruiting, they don’t read message boards.
While I agree, I also think it's fair to question this hire because he's obviously the weakest of what is inarguably one of the best staffs in all of cbb.
Let's say fox didn't give pope his first opportunity. Would he still have this job? I highly doubt it. Doesn't mean he isn't or won't be good. Just means it was definitely a family sort of hire that we could've probably done better.
Brad? Reads more like Erin
She’s the one who always engaged people
