Nevada basketball coach Fox leaves Nevada for Georgia
April 3, 2009
By John Trent
University of Nevada, Reno men’s basketball coach Mark Fox was introduced as the new head coach at the University of Georgia during a press conference Friday morning in Athens, Ga.
Fox leaves Nevada following five seasons, three NCAA Tournament appearances and a program-record 123 victories.
“I want to begin with an apology to the people of Northern Nevada because I wasn’t able to say good-bye,” Fox said at the news conference, as reported on the website of the Reno Gazette-Journal. “I’m leaving a wonderful place, a place where I loved being coach.”
Nevada director of intercollegiate athletics Cary Groth was scheduled to hold a press conference on the Nevada campus in the Hall of Fame Room of Legacy Hall at 2:30 p.m. Friday to further discuss the future of the men’s basketball program.
