WayneFleekHoosier Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 No thanks on Frank Martin. That's a low major hire. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners HoosierTrav 1 Quote
Yogi's Picnic Basket Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 Chris Beard is gonna be a good coach somewhere soon. Maybe Texas Tech even. Lubock is a very hard school to get kids to come play though. I like his coaching tho I have seen them play 3 or 4 times and always seem to lose simply cause the other team is better.

AKHoosier Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 I would support Frank Martin if our other obvious options don't work out. That said, Martin doesn't seem like a guy who Glass would like to work with. If Glass didn't get along with Kevin Wilson very well, something tells me he wouldn't get along with Frank Martin either. That's important to remember. ALASKA HOOSIER and Zachary Farmer 2 Quote

AKHoosier Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 1 hour ago, ziggyiu said: If I could sum up Frank Martin with one point, it would be this: Miami basketball didn't want him. He was asked to leave KSU because of his attitude and he never did anything special record-wise either at KSU or SC. He is known for crossing the line over and over again in how he treats players, he schedules terrible non-conference opponents, he is not a great recruiter and he never took either KSU or SC to any kind of title or deep in the tournament. (1 EE and that's the only time out of the first weekend). IU will have proven to be at a new low of Martin were hired. He would raise money and his antics would grow old quickly. The thought that his name has surfaced should make all IU fans reconsider the state of the program. Before any IU fan considers a coach of Martin's caliber or person with his character they should do some research. He wasn't asked to leave KSU. He left because he didn't like the AD. From what I remember, fans were pissed that he left. I'm not going to judge him by what he's done at South Carolina. They're a terrible basketball school, and athletics program overall, but he'll still get them to the tournament this year. Frank Martin is a good coach. His defensive efficiency numbers are awfully good too. Stuhoo 1 Quote

Hoosierfan2017 Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 I don't know anything about his coaching abilities, but after watching the video Stuhoo posted it would be nice to have a coach with Martin's demeanor after 9 years of Crean. ALASKA HOOSIER and Zachary Farmer 2 Quote
akhosrof Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 If we are going to get a coach with this sort of personality I'd much rather have Marshall. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Feathery and HoosierTrav 2 Quote

HoosierAloha Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 I wouldn't be pissed with 3 years of Martin before hitting THE grand slam but wouldn't be in my first handful of calls. Quote

VO5 Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 2 hours ago, Stuhoo said: Just curious...why? I prefer Archie and a few others, but other than the over the top intensity, Martin can really coach a disciplined team. It's pretty much that he hasn't made the tourney with South Carolina in 4 years. He's in the SEC, with only one team in that conference that's consistently good. Why would we go after a coach like that? Because he had them ranked at one point this year? Makes no sense. Crean has a better profile than he does. Lateral move to downgrade imo.

Yogi's Picnic Basket Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 We could do at lot worse than Frank Martin IMO. Has made two middle tier schools competitive year in year out. Every coach has flaws believe it or not. Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Yogi's Picnic Basket Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 Knight gave Beard GLOWING reviews as well. Has said once he met him right after taking the Texas Tech job he knew he had his son Pat but told Pat he had to get Beard!! IMO it is way to early though to give him a shot here. Could be a good option down the road though and will surely get a better job eventually. Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
