Misc. Information

Taking over an uninspired program in 1991-92, Coach Dennis Fox has done a fantastic job of establishing Cardinal Stritch as a perrenial power in the NAIA. Completing his 17th season in 2007-08, Fox is nationally respected as a recruiter and developer of post players. During the 1990's, Fox's teams had five 20+ winning seasons, made two NAIA tourney appearances, and finished 1st or 2nd in conference play six times. His 27 year career record of 557 wins ranks among the best NAIA programs. During the last eight years, Fox has averaged 25 wins per season! Fox's program stands apart from other NAIA programs in terms of travel, within the U.S. and abroad, and level of competition faced. In 2007-08, the Wolves posted a 19-14 record but did not receive an NAIA tournament bid.
