You could work at CNN or ESPN the way you twist the truth. Saying we may never reach another final four is not a critique of Martin’s abilities, but rather a reality of how difficult that accomplishment is. Let me demonstrate:
Bill Self, Basketball Hall of Fame coach been at Kansas the last 15 years and two final fours. Kansas has a few advantages we don’t in hoops.
Frank McGuire went to 2 Final fours, none at South Carolina. Over 500 wins, Basketball Hall of Fame. Coached here a lot longer than Martin has too.
That guy Frank Martin coached against last year in the Final Four, Mark Few, has over 500 wins and “finally” got his team to a final four after 17 years at Gonzaga. He may never get there again
Lou Carnesecca, another 500 plus wins, another Basketball Hall of Famer “only” went to one Final Four. He could recruit more people in his own city than we have in our entire state.
Frank Martin should be our coach until:
A. He retires
B. He passes away
C. He leaves us for another program
D. Unless we fall off the way Paul Hewitt ruined Georgia Tech Basketball.
