FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Berkeley, California - The University of California, Berkeley has announced the dismissal of Cal Basketball Coach Mark Fox, effective immediately.
In a statement released by the Athletic Director, Jim Knowlton, he cited the decision as a necessary step to achieve the level of success that the Cal basketball program aspires to achieve. He expressed his gratitude to Coach Fox for his dedication and contributions to the program during his tenure.
Knowlton emphasized that the decision was not an easy one, and that it was made after a thorough evaluation of the program and the team's performance over the past few seasons. Despite the significant investment and resources provided to the program, the team's on-court performance has not met the expectations of the University and the Cal basketball community.
"We expect our basketball program to compete at a high level, and unfortunately, we have not seen the progress we expected under Coach Fox's leadership," Knowlton said. "We believe it is time for a change, and we are committed to finding the right leader who can take our program to the next level."
Coach Fox was hired in 2019 and led the Golden Bears for three seasons. Under his leadership, the team's record was 28-52. During his tenure, the team experienced several ups and downs, including a challenging 2020-21 season that was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The search for a new head coach will begin immediately, and the University is committed to finding a leader who can help the team reach its full potential both on and off the court.
The University wishes Coach Fox all the best in his future endeavors.

Dear Cal fans and supporters,

I wanted to take a moment to address the decision to retain Mark Fox as our men's basketball head coach for another year. I understand that this may be disappointing news for some of you, especially given the results of this season.

However, I want to make it clear that this decision was not made lightly. We took a comprehensive look at the program, evaluating not just wins and losses, but also the overall direction of the team and the progress being made both on and off the court.

One factor that we considered was the impact of injuries on the team this season. We had several key players who were unable to play for extended periods of time, which undoubtedly had an effect on our performance. Additionally, the ongoing challenges of COVID-19 have made it difficult for all teams to maintain consistency and continuity.

Despite these challenges, we have seen positive signs of growth and improvement within the program. We have a talented group of young players who have shown great potential, and we believe that under Mark's leadership, they will continue to develop and thrive.

We know that our fans have high expectations for Cal basketball, and we share that same passion and commitment to success. We believe that Mark is the right coach to lead this program forward, and we are excited about the future of Cal basketball.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,
Jim Knowlton
Cal Athletic Director
