Mark Fox isn't a fan of the NBA's one-and-done rule. He says many of his colleagues in the SEC and elsewhere in college basketball aren't either. The rule benefits only a select few teams that have been able to use it to their advantage.
And kudos to the teams that have been able to do so.
One of those teams just happens to be Georgia's next opponent. The Bulldogs will travel to Kentucky on Tuesday to take on the Wildcats, who have regularly brought in freshmen who shouldn't be forced to go to college before jumping to the NBA.
Whereas plenty of programs need three- and four-year players for the most part, Kentucky head coach John Calipari has made a living in promising a player that all he needs is one year with him before turning pro.
Fox isn't bitter about Calipari's strategy. It works for him based on the outlined rules. Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski has been able to benefit under the same guidelines too, evidenced by his three freshmen -- Jahlil Okafor, Justise Winslow and Tyus Jones -- who went in the first round of the NBA draft a year ago after Duke's national championship win.
But when it comes to the one-and-done rule, Fox prefers a new look at it. It's something he believes hurts the game of basketball in the long run.
