Athletics director Greg McGarity reiterated his support for head coach Mark Fox in an in-house interview published on the Georgia program's website.
Questioned about the basketball program's future, McGarity said he supports Fox as the team's head coach. Fox's Bulldogs finished the 2016-17 season 19-15 overall but missed out on the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive season.
While McGarity said he is optimistic about the team next season, he noted that it will be important for Georgia to win games against its top oppenents.
"With nine lettermen returning that experienced significant playing time last year, and a strong recruiting class joining them, we are in position to be very successful next year," McGarity said.
