Dennis Felton's many faces

Photos of the many faces of former UGA men's basketball coach Dennis Felton, who was relieved of coaching duties on Thursday, Jan. 29, 2009.

Georgia basketball coach Dennis Felton gives instructions to his players as they defend against South Carolina in a 2007 home game. The recently fired UGA coach was very expressive on the sidelines.

This is the church, this is the steeple. Here, Felton reacts to an official's call in a 2005 game against Oregon State. Oregon State won 64-60.

"Good job, team?" "Please turn up the heat?" Nope, in this one Felton wants a jump ball in a 2005 game against Nevada in Reno. On Wednesday UGA couldn't take the heat any more and let the coach go.

In 2008, a well-balanced Felton directs his team against Kentucky in Athens.

In this February 2008 loss to Vanderbilt, Felton gets in the ear of Zac Swansey after he commits a foul against Vanderbilt in Nashville.

In January 2008, Felton directs during the second half against Georgia Tech at Stegeman Coliseum.

He never was the belt and suspenders type. Felton shouts during the first half against Tennessee at a home game in January 2009.

In the first round of the SEC men's tournament in 2008, Felton yells at his team against Ole Miss at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. A tornado would disrupt the March tournament.

Will everybody please take one step to the left? These are probably not the directions Felton gives to his team during their 72-48 win against South Carolina Upstate in the 2008 home opener.

Felton is capable of a whole range of emotions. Here, a little dejection as Georgia is behind by 20 points in the second half of their game against Florida at the SEC basketball tournament in 2007.

Stomping, tie swinging disappointment. Felton in their OT win over Kentucky in their second round game of the 2008 SEC Men's Basketball Tournament. This was the game postponed because of a tornado that hit the Georgia Dome, forcing the event to be moved to Alexander Memorial Coliseum at Georgia Tech.

Felton calls in a play from the sideline during a 2005 UGA vs. LSU game.

"If I may interrupt." Here, Felton shouts instructions to his players against LSU in March 2008. LSU won 71-64.

In January 2009 Felton has clearly just seen something unpleasant. Here he reacts during the team's 68-45 loss to Kentucky.

Felton shows us the post-bench-press look. He's seriously into the championship game of the SEC Men's Basketball Tournament at Georgia Tech's Alexander Memorial Coliseum in 2008.
