Welcome back to Dawg Talk Podcast, recorded live from the iconic wrap-around terrace suite at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas during NBA Summer League! In this powerful episode, J Mac, KCP, and Kenny Gaines sit down with their former college coach and longtime mentor, Coach Mark Fox.

With over 300 wins under his belt and coaching stops at Nevada, Georgia, and Cal, Coach Fox brings stories, laughs, and wisdom to the table. From humble beginnings in Garden City, Kansas, to navigating the new era of college hoops (NIL, transfer portal, and SEC expansion), Coach Fox reflects on lessons from the past and the evolution of the game.

Hear never-before-told recruiting stories, locker room moments, and how KCP went from "French Fry" freshman to NBA champion and leader. Whether you're a coach, a player, or just love the game—this one's for you.
