Tanner is taking credit for bringing him back. From everything I read, Tanner wanted to move on. Not sure everyone is being honest.

Given the circumstances, that's about as good an answer as he could give.

It was definitely not a ringing endorsement.

I'm not sure that I buy a lot of what Ray was saying.........

Ray goes around three blocks to get to a location down the path a hundred feet away.

Translation: Coach Martin has failed getting to the tournament. That's his main job. His few successes and covid helped him some here. But ultimately, all the yahoo's I have to deal with as AD got involved and impacted my main relationship with my boss. So, I had to protect him. And me. Ultimately, we gave him a very weak vote of confidence, which is what me and the big guy felt, but got out flanked by the politicos. So let me do some damage control with Frank.

Read between the lines:
Ray, Caslen, most of the board was ready to move on
Frank made a political power play and won
He'll be fired next year with a buyout less than 50% of what it is now
Then we move on and hire a new coach
That is all

Ray, once again being the mouthpiece. He had nothing to do with the decision on Frank. But as the AD he has to be the guy to answer the questions
