Georgia basketball needs a basketball head coach, and the sights seem set on Thad Matta, former head coach at Ohio State.
Of Georgia’s previous nine full-time basketball head coaches, seven were fired. Babe McCarthy quit before practice started and Tubby Smith took the first train to Lexington.
On Saturday, Mark Fox joined the fraternity of hired and fired Georgia basketball coaches. If Georgia is to create any exclusivity in this not so little club, Athletic Director Greg McGarity and University President Jere Morehead must do something that Georgia hasn’t done since former athletic director Joel Eaves brought Hugh Durham to Athens.
