At the University of Georgia, traditionally Basketball takes a back seat to Football. They've never been incredibly successful at hoops and they for the most part hadn't been entertaining either. That however seems to have changed this past year after the arrival of the newest Head Basketball Coach Mark Fox.
You'll recall if you are a regular OSG reader that we showed you Georgia Football Coach Mark Richt making a behind the back basketball shot before a game not so long ago. It appears that Coach Fox has an unofficial challenge out for trickshots.
With the help of walk-on player Connor Nolte, who shoots and publishes the trickshots on his web-blog passersremorse.com, they post the "Trick Shot of the day" on the site.
This most recent shot by Coach Fox is quite impressive. Check it out.

The Gameday Trickshot is a pretty decent predictor of a Bulldog victory. When Nolte posts a particularly sick shot, the Dawgs seem to win. When it's mundane, they have a patented second-half road collapse.
I think this is the first time Fox took part. Maybe he should more often! It made SportsCenter's Top 10.
Absolutely he should. Makes it a lot more fun and keeps the team loose. Always a good thing and I suspect that might be why they play better.
