Field Level Media
Cal is finalizing a contract with Mark Fox to make him the Golden Bears’ next basketball coach, according to multiple reports Friday.
Fox, who was fired by Georgia following the 2017-18 season, did not coach last season.
The 50-year-old Fox coached Nevada from 2004-09, compiling a 123-43 record and earning three NCAA Tournament berths. In nine seasons at Georgia (2009-18), his teams went 163-133 with two tournament appearances.
Fox would replace Wyking Jones, who was fired on Sunday after compiling a 16-47 record in his two seasons. The Golden Bears haven’t been to the NCAA Tournament since the 2015-16 season.
The Golden Bears have one NCAA title to their credit – in 1959 under legendary coach Pete Newell.
