Can anyone expound on Fox's staff and their roles? I feel like I don't know anything about them as their visibility is near zero.
Chris Harriman: Aussie whose reputation is as an international recruiter. Seems to be animated from the bench and in TOs.
Marty Wilson: Was HC at Pepperdine, but things went south. Is from the same "coaching tree" as Fox (Tom Asbury), which is probably why he was hired (also continuity from previous regime).
Knowlton might pick Wilson for the same reason he picked Fox and it would be the wrong choice for the same reasons.
I saw an interview with Andrew Francis from 10 years ago when he was at Iowa and he seems really good, good personality, smart, knows basketball, like I'm surprised Fox hired him and he took the job level of good. I would fire Fox and make him interim today. Let him decide if he wants to keep Harriman and Wilson around.
Francis would be the obvious Interim. I believe he is considered the "lead" Assistant, is he not? But yeah, I could imagine Knowlton naming Wilson. I mean, what's another poor decision?
