- Richard Anthony Fox (1899 – December 9, 1960) was an American college basketball coach at the University of Idaho in Moscow. He led the Vandals for nine seasons (1927–1936) and was also the head baseball coach and an assistant in football. From Nezperce High School in Lewis County, Idaho, Fox played varsity basketball at Idaho in the early 1920s. During his final two seasons in 1922 and 1923, "Bullet" was team captain: Idaho made its debut in the Pacific Coast Conference and won consecutive titles. Fox was also a catcher on the baseball team, and had played football as a freshman. After college, Fox coached multiple sports at the high school level, in nearby Potlatch and then three years at Pocatello in southeastern Idaho. He led his undefeated PHS Indians to the state title in basketball in 1927 at Moscow; a month later, UI head coach Dave MacMillan accepted the head coaching job at the University of Minnesota, and Fox was hired to succeed his mentor at his alma mater. Prior to his second season as head coach of the Vandals, the Memorial Gymnasium opened in November 1928. Fox coached at Idaho for nine years, announced his resignation in June 1936, and entered the private sector. His successor was Forrest Twogood, an assistant coach at USC in Los Angeles. (en)
