Here's Chris Murray with a Mark Fox chat transcript

A big thanks goes out to Chris Murray for the following -- not only for setting up the chat but for the major typing task involved in presenting Q-and-As in print and not just as a podcast. Wolf Pack fans should not be taking this for granted.

Nevada basketball coach Mark Fox chatted with Wolf Pack fans on Wednesday (below is the transcript). He seemed legitimately surprised with how many questions he received. "I could only get to 10 percent of the questions," Fox said after the chat. "One, I can't type that fast. Two, I can't read that fast. It's great to have that much interest, though." If you asked a question, thanks for participating. We are hoping to do some more of these with chats with coaches across many of the Wolf Pack programs. Here is the transcript.

2:56: [Comment From Xtreme Geek]: Mark, I’ve learned most great CEO’s and leaders are extremely calm in their approach to people. I haven’t seen you coach in practice but I have viewed your demeanor during the games. I believe in a firm voice now and then... do you feel you’re over the top occasionally? 2 good examples are Lovie Smith and Tony Dungy. I believe these young men will follow your lead if you stayed in control more. What do you think?
2:59: Mark Fox: Hey this is Coach Fox - I’m not sure comparing NFL FB coaches or CEO’s are great comparisons but every player, every team, and every situation requires a different approach. And most fires are intentionally set . . .

2:59: [Comment From Guest]: Did you feel a bit betrayed when Javale left early?
3:01: Mark Fox: I don’t think betrayed is the right word. We are certainly in the business to help young people and JaVale has a guaranteed $2+ million and several more in options. It has become a hard part of high major college hoops - but JaVale and his mother have offered sincere thank yous so we feel good about his experience here. It would be nice to have him though...
