A few hours after issuing a statement declaring that head coach Mark Fox would be Georgia’s coach next season, athletics director Greg McGarity met with the basketball team to offer further reassurance to the players.
McGarity's message was simple: Fox isn’t in danger of being fired. He will be Georgia’s coach for a ninth season.
The meeting occurred after Tuesday’s practice and before the team traveled to Nashville to partake in the SEC Tournament. It was in response to a report written by Yahoo! Sports’ Pat Forde that stated Georgia was doing its “due diligence” by compiling a list of potential replacements for Fox in the event a firing took place.
