It certainly doesn't excuse Fox's behavior, but I believe that part of the problem stems from the fact that Nevada had Gracey in 3 of its last 4 games.
@ Utah State 79-77 OT loss
Not vs. New Mexico St. at home (win)
vs. Idaho @ WAC tourney (win)
vs. Utah State @ WAC tourney 79-77 loss in regulation
BTW Gracey also worked the WAC tourney championship, so if Nevada had made the final they would have had him again.
This is part of the problem with the conference tourneys. People see too much of each other.
