It’s long been theorized by media pundits that it is harder to win in basketball at a football school, like Georgia, with the theory being that prospects and coaches don’t like playing second fiddle to the football program.
However, Georgia coach Mark Fox believes that claim is completely bogus.
“I think the great success of our football program only helps us. We have a national football program that garners national attention, and we don’t just have a great football program, we have a great athletic association, we have a lot of great teams, and I think that our football program and the great success and the wonderful tradition only helps us. I don’t see in any way how that could hinder the development of our program. I just don’t subscribe to that theory because it just doesn’t make any sense to me. And I know I’m not the brightest guy in the room, but I don’t believe that it hurts us at all.”
In fact Fox believes it helps the program, giving prospects on visits the opportunity to see the passionate Bulldog nation during the fall when basketball season hasn’t begun yet.
“We have great fans and people get a chance to see that, just how wonderful of fans we have. They get to see passion that they bring to the arena and see the opportunity to play in front of them.”
Don’t worry, Coach, Florida, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas all agree with you!
