Georgia's Fox given 2-year contract extension

Georgia coach Mark Fox was given a two-year contract extension on Wednesday following a season in which athletic director Greg McGarity said he saw "very encouraging" improvement.

Fox is 85-77 in five seasons at Georgia, including a 20-14 record in the 2013-14 season. The Bulldogs tied Kentucky for second in the Southeastern Conference at 12-6. Georgia fell short of the NCAA tournament and won one NIT game.
