Fox promoted at Davidson

Davidson men’s basketball coach Bob McKillop announced today that longtime assistant coach Jim Fox has been promoted to associate head coach.

The 2012-13 campaign will be Fox’s 12th on the Davidson bench, a little over a decade of one of the most successful stretches in Davidson basketball history. The Wildcats have logged 242 victories during that time, an average of 22 wins a season, and Davidson has played in the postseason eight times, including five appearances in the NCAA Tournament.

The Wildcats have an overall record of 242-110 during Fox’s tenure and a 161-40 mark against teams in the Southern Conference while winning eight regular-season conference titles. Davidson has been undefeated in league play twice, and the ‘Cats set a school record with 29 overall wins in 2006-07. The 2007-08 squad matched that mark, winning 25 in a row on its way to the Elite Eight.
