Fox diagnosis = long term flexibility loss.
I guess we will never know how well he might have playedd. All hail fox!tequila4kapp said:
I'm all on board with criticizing Fox but in this case we are talking about not playing the 2nd string walk on in spite of the fact he hit some 3s during pre-game warms ups. As reasons for hating on Fox go that's about as thin as it gets.

Speaking of walkons, and maybe a guy picked up from the RSF fall championship game, I thought Robinson looked pretty good. Didn't look overmatched. But it was EWU.

Still we were short handed. Cal's walkons are typically about the same level as guys that play at EWU but come to Cal for the education and PAC-12 level play. Braun used to use walkons often over healthy scholarship players, and the difference between the quality of our scholarship players and our walkons has collapsed under Fox. If we have a guy that can hit open threes and defend guards, seems like EWU was the time to use him.
It's not "All hail Fox!" One can both believe that Fox is a horrible coach and also acknowledge the complete folly of thinking that a guy is qualified to play because he can hit a few uncontested threes in warm ups. I'm pretty comfortable with the 99.9% chance that he would not be the solution to all or any of our problems. I don't need Fox to start 30,000 different students with eligibility to prove to me that none of them are the answer.oskidunker said:I guess we will never know how well he might have playedd.

Maybe more so than a guy fox got from the rsf last week. Except he is not a point guardcalumnus said:BearlyCareAnymore said:It's not "All hail Fox!"

If he is given a roster spot he should be "qualified to play" especially if guys are out at his position. At least to spell the starter. If he plays well, play him more.

I played in the RSF regularly with / against a guy that ended up making Braun's roster and getting game time as a walk on. It was a failure of Braun that he couldn't recruit players who were obviously and clearly better than RSF walk-ons, not an admirable trait that he found walk-ons who could take minutes at the P12 level.calumnus said:Still we were short handed.
