Until Fox beats Wyking's school record of 16 losses in a row, I'd say we're good to go.

Well he did break Wyking's school record for most conference losses. And I think he has a solid shot to set a new record for both conference and total losses this coming season.

His Cal record 17 conference losses in his second season will probably not be broken no matter how bad it gets, but we played 20 conference games that year.

However, his 15 conference losses this last season matched Jones' 2nd year. I don't think we will be improved this year, so matching Jones' first year 16 conference losses in his 4th year is entirely possible.

Our points scored per game this past season was 63.1 the lowest for a Cal team since the introduction of the shot clock and the 3 pt shot. We may break that record this year. We were #338 of 358 in ppg.

That's the 2022-23 goal. In 2021-22 we actually scored an unreasonably high 63.1 ppg.

Until the next pandemic.

Fox may not find an Ivy League job, but there are hundreds of D-1 and D-2 schools out there, many of which don't aspire to basketball greatness, that would almost certainly hire him.

---

You've just perfectly described Cal.

---

Bingo.

---

Yeah, I thought about parenthetically specifying Cal but resisted the urge.

---

".500! It's aspirational!" is about as catchy as "Invest and attack!"

---

Yeah, aiming for .500 (ie mediocrity) by hiring a confirmed .500 coach is just so Knowlton.

---

Aiming for .500 and falling well short of that. Does anyone here think that Fox's team will be 10-10 in conference next season?

How can any Cal coach be expected to succeed in the middle of a monkeypox crisis? I'd say it's time to give them all another extra one-year extension. Wilcox, Fox, McKeever, all of them...

Lol. We joke, but Knowlton probably already has the extensions drafted...

We will probably hear a lot more about lack of a practice facility, Celestine's injury and how young and inexperienced our team is.

Yeah, oftentimes, if a remark is funny, it's because it came dangerously close to the truth.

Heard he could be extended 4 more years out to 2033 due to Monkey Fox.

MonkeyFox is a serious disease. It has put Cal's entire men's basketball program in the ICU.

Looks like maybe Fox doesn't even have to get fired from Cal to be coaching a non-power conference team.

Maybe this was the plan along. We were ahead of our time! Act like a non-power conference team until you are literally in a non-power conference. BRILLIANT

I am much more accepting of Fox as our coach now thanks to today's events. Cal just became irrelevant in college sports so now I feel we just got what we deserve.

If our ship goes down with Knowlton at the helm, Fox and McKeever et al will just be a symptom of the incompetence that doomed us, not the cause.
