Cuonzo Martin to California

[LRCW]

.... Basketball coaches do not want to be at traditional football schools....really hard to be 2nd fiddle. Guys like Billy Donovan that have learned to thrive in that situation are a rare bird. Cuonzo Martin has limitations as a coach' date=' and I'll just say that I'm really happy he is going to Berkley and not to Cincinnati.[/quote']

 

Is there an opening in Cincinnati we don't know about? :confused:

Or are you saying he would have been Xavier's first choice had Mack bolted to Cal?

His ties to Xavier's new AD would have made him the 1st call had Chris left...yes.

What a train wreck....

Some sneaky stuff RT @ZacEllis: UT boosters reportedly told AD not to let their private planes be used for BB recruiting to undercut Cuonzo

Did Mick Cronin ever sign an extension with UC?

 

Would UT contact him?

Yeah they finally paid up... GT says he won't leave the city anytime soon.

No, the deal isn't done yet.

 

I'm sure UT would contact him, I doubt he'd leave, even though Knoxville is close enough to drive back and forth often.

Mick's a good coach, UT doesn't deserve him

[PurplePride92]

Well so far I've only seen tweets from former players and a recruit. Not sure how the current players feel.

 

Jarnell Stokes is close enough to the situation to speak on it IMO. I'd say his sentiment is echoed.

Archie miller? Richard Pitino? Don devoe?

This is from the Tennessee Volunteer Basketball Wikipedia page....

 

The Tennessee Volunteers basketball team represents the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Tennessee in NCAA men's basketball competition. (Women's teams at the school are known as "Lady Volunteers".) The Volunteers currently compete in the Southeastern Conference. The team last played in the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament in 2014. On the same day Cuonzo Martin ditched UT, Dave Hart landed Phil Jackson. This immediately made UT the best team in the country.

He'd be traveling a lot farther than that if he took the UT job. Getting home to see Hep isn't the issue...

Shhh...he needs to be a candidate to get his extension done at UC. Quit poking holes. :sssh:
