I don't like Timme, but the dude is playing like a fiend to start the 2nd half. Gonzaga on a 11-0 run and Timme has all 11….and he didn't even call banker on that forced last shot.

Cal had no access to its locker room or its usual weight room for the entirety of the 2020-21 season and restrictions imposed by Berkeley health officials had the team practicing on an outdoor tennis court without a basketball in the months leading up that season.
it embarrassing that we had to practice on a outdoor tennis court on a portable basket WITHOUT a basketball
I said at the time they should have at least had a basketball for each player and practiced their handle (footwork, moves, counters, weak hand, etc)
I think that ridiculous restriction could have been overcome by a better solution, and do think cal was impacted that first year more than other teams in a shortened season
However teams missing games and players missing due to Covid was the biggest impact and not sure how cal faired relative to other Pac12 teams
STILL that was 2 seasons ago. This season was supposed to be our year with a veteran team lead by Bradley
AD seems to conveniently skip over that. AD is keeping Fox and just throwing up justifications to justify it, whether they are good ones or not
If we were going to make a change this would be the year to do it given our current roster, incoming recruits, and open slots in 23
Not including the post season, Cal played more games than ANY other PAC-12 team.
Every California team was impacted. Stanford spent the entire season practicing in Santa Cruz. Other schools found solutions to local restrictions. Instead of finding solutions, Knowlton did nothing but make excuses.

Did we have to walk 6 miles through the snow to get to our outdoor court? Uphill both ways?
. . . and when we got to "our outdoor court", it was a tennis court... and the players couldn't use basketballs because they might have instinctively passed them to one another, which could've meant dying a lingering death from COVID.
It was rough, I tell you. Rodney Dangerfield himself never had it that rough.

Got it. Agree, our AD is very good at playing the victim, doing nothing and blaming others while collecting a huge salary. I can see why he and Fox had such affinity.
Excuse and excuse and excuse. Basically same as I said on this site 2 days ago. It's all he knows. Eventually, person to blame is one who hired him.
So here we are going nowhere for another season. We'll get Fox for another year (at least) and kinda hope he can fill one (maybe two) schollies with a grad transfer and watch more bad basketball. We'll see him sign a bunch of guys no one has ever heard of in the fall and wash, rinse, repeat. Yay....
a question about the added year
most think an extension would be worse than only 'adding a year'
but doesn't it depend on what the terms of an extension would be compared to terms of an additional year?
for example, if the buyout just rolls forward (same buyout as this year) than 'just' adding a year could be worse than an extension

In this very thread I wrote that I don't care about the extension, only the buyout. This extra covid year could mean (probably means) one extra year at the same buyout. It is such a stupid idea that it could only happen at Cal. Just as the hiring of Mark Fox and Wyking Jones could only happen at Cal. As the lifetime extension of Jim Knowlton could only happen at Cal.HoopDreams said:
