Ron Foxcroft is the "Fox" in Fox40. He was the owner of FOX40, but I think that he retired and turned it over to his sons, who are running it now. One of the co-founders of the whistle was Joe Forte, who was working in the NCAA at that time but later joined the NBA staff. The "40" part of the name referes to "Forte".
It's true, it's true.....
