On the bright side, maybe we'll get to watch UF's next coach beat us by double digits at home during the NIT

It's just inexcusable that our senior laden backcourt, when the pressure is on, gets schooled time and again by less experienced players.

He really is a great defensive coach. We have mediocre at best defensive players and we're in the top 10 in FG% defense.

Only problem is our offense is so so terrible and it makes basketball hard to watch. We have no plays drawn up and settle for so many terrible shots at the end of the shot-clock.

Do our players care when they lose? Especially in a rivalry game against Florida...

Seriously... What a fricking disappointment. This is just so fricking hard to watch. You give any DECENT coach our players, we're borderline top 25 team now. Fox has to go...

Actually disagree with you there. We have absolutely zero depth. That's on Fox, but I think he actually gets an ok amount out of the talent we have. Here's our offensive talent:

PG - Can't shoot, turns the ball over way too much; does a good job of drawing fouls
PG - Great shooter, good passer, short, occasionally forces shots because he has no one to pass to.
SG - Very good shooter, can't dribble, struggles to finish in the paint for his athleticism
PF - Very good post game, ok shooter, but shoots long jumpers way too often, would be dominant if he was two inches taller
PF - Not athletic, but good finisher around/below the rim, needs to work on right hand

Bench - Literally zero offensive talent on our bench. Edwards and KPG are athletic I guess, but still can't finish around the rim. I can think of nothing else anyone on our bench does well offensively. That's why we lose as often as we do.

Fox doesn't coach his players to their strengths. The reason we appear so inept on offense is because we have a team of athletes more equipped to play an up tempo game. Other than Maten, we have ZERO post presence. You try and play this half court game with a bunch of guys who don't know how to play this boring as style of basketball. Run... Move around... Be creative... But not Fox.

To add to that... The Georgetown/Virginia style of basketball doesn't win shite anymore. The team(s) who have the most dunks and lay ups win 95% of the time.

Completely agree with you on that point. Our offense is so unbelievably stagnate and slow paced with only one good post-player. When we get the rebounds with the guards we have, I think we should push the pace, but we don't. I would hope Fox knows the team better than me, but at some point you have to change what you're doing when it doesn't work.

I agree with the breakdown of players from DawgsOnTop. I don't agree with the assessment of Fox, yes it is his fault we have the players we have, but no one since Jim Harricks cheating self has recruited better players than Fox has. The top players from ATL don't want to come to UGA they want to play at Kentucky, Duke, UNC, places with a great history.

It's frustrating that we can't win more, but its almost a helpless feeling. Watching Houston Kessler, Mike Edwards, and Kenny Paul Geno completely unguarded on offense and do absolutely nothing is extremely disheartening.
