By Morris Phillips and Michael Duca

BERKELEY — Cal’s Athletic Director Jim Knowlton’s hiring of Mark Fox called the hiring “a man of unparalleled integrity with a proven record of success as a head basketball coach.”

After the firing of former head coach Wyking Jones last Sunday Knowlton wanted to hire someone as quickly as possible and put last season in the rearview mirror. The Bears didn’t win a Pac 12 game until they won their last three games of the regular season. Jones and the Bears had a 16 game losing streak during last season.

Fox come in from Georgia University with five tournaments while coaching in the last 14 seasons at the University of Nevada and Georgia compiling a 286-176. Knowlton said that the hiring pool had many candidates and said that Fox is exceptional and he was a good choice what direction Cal wants to go.

The Bears were thought to have former Cal player and NBA standout Jason Kidd ending up coming back to Cal and coach the team. Kidd is currently working on getting his degree and Kidd said that he wanted to coach in the NBA.

Fox is 50 did not coach last season after getting fired from Georgia where he did pick up two NCAA Tournaments. It was at Nevada where he coached the team to the Tournament three times and compiling a 123-43 record in five years.

Fox was an assistant coach to Jeff Van Gundy on the US World qualifying team and assisted on the Milwaukee Bucks summer league. Fox got to coach with some of the greats Geno Auriemma, Gregg Popovich and Brad Stevens during last season.

Knowlton is confident that Fox can get the program going again and Fox said that he’s confident that the Cal academic program is an amazing opportunity and said he appreciates Knowlton and Cal Chancellor Christ giving him opportunity and looks forward to getting to work.

On the Sharks podcast with Len:

#1 The Sharks come into tonight’s game against the Vegas Knights with a seven-game skid and the odds of winning their next five games straight are a long shot.

#2 The Sharks have injuries with Joe Pavelski and Erik Karlsson, who the team are still measuring when they’ll return. Without them, the climb out of the hole is going to be a lot tougher.

#3 Sharks head coach Peter DeBoer says the team has time, but playing from behind every night is something you can’t do and try to finish strong in the regular season.

#4 The Sharks host the Western Conference Champions Vegas Golden Knights (42-29-6) tonight. The Knights are coming off a 3-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild on Friday night.

#5 We asked Len if the recent skid is a matter of being snake bitten or there are seen and unseen problems with the team.

Len Shapiro is a former California Golden Seals media relations manager the Seals were the Bay Area’s first NHL team. Len can be heard each Saturday at http://www.sportsradioservice.com

smirfitts.com file photo: The Carolina Hurricanes propose to stop celebrations like these after getting criticism from other teams saying “it’s not professional”

On the NHL podcast with Matt:

#1 The Carolina Hurricanes have put an end to the postgame celebrations called the “Storm Surge.” They also will not bring it back in the event they were to get into postseason. Was there a behind the doors nudge by the league or someone that said these kind of celebrations had to stop?

#2 The Minnesota Wild got a one-goal win over the Vegas Golden Knights, a team Matt will be seeing tonight. Devan Dubnyk stopped 32 shots for the Wild. The Knights, even though they lost Friday night’s game, clinched because the Arizona Coyotes lost their game.

#3 Speaking of the Arizona Coyotes, they dropped a shootout when the Colorado Avalanche’s Nathan MacKinnon’s goal was the gamer. The Avs move close to a wild card spot with the win.

#4 The Nashville Predators’ goalie Pekka Rinne stood on his head for 60 minutes, stopping 42 Pittsburgh Penguin shots. Rinne was closing in on his fifth season shutout until the Pens’ Nick Bjugstad scored with 1:03 remaining in the game.

#5 The Detroit Red Wings got a 4-0 shutout over the New Jersey Devils. The Wings used two goalies for the shutout: Jonathan Bernier and Jimmy Howard.

On the Oakland A’s podcast with Jerry Feitelberg:

#1 How uplifting is it that the A’s not only got a 4-0 win on Opening Day against the Los Angeles Angels, but also got a shutout from their Opening Day starter Mike Fiers?

#2 Fiers went six innings and surrendered just one hit. Did he look good enough to complete the game?

#3 The A’s bullpen came through with a shutout after Fiers left the game.

#4 The A’s, who won 4-0, got their runs early, and by the end of four innings,, they already had a 3-0 lead.

#5 After watching this opener, was this a surprise considering how the club struggled so badly and getting swept by the Seattle Mariners in Tokyo to open the season?
