Where does Frank Martin Rank Among Current Coaches?

[Fountain City Blues]

Taking a program like SCAR to the elite 8 with a less than crazy shot at a final four seems to merit a thread for him.

Dude did well at k state too. (Granted Beasley helped that)

Glad he's having some success in Columbia.

 

[Ojb81]

definitely the angriest of any coach I've seen since coach Knight. But I suppose its working, keep it up.

He's a great coach.

But his most impressive win was a true home game against a Jekyll and Hyde team.

Baylor is fucking trash. And Marquette was another home team against a bona fide bubble team.

This ain't some otherworldly run

I'd say building up a legitimately terrible SCAR program to where it is right now is very impressive; moreso than the run they're on itself per se.

That I can agree with

And he's done a good job getting recruits there

 

[OregonDucks]

He turned K-State into a contender and now has SCAR a contender. Guy is a great coach.

Clearly the greatest Latino coach in South Carolina history

Idk, but the dude is a psychopath.


I'm waiting for him to snap a neck on the sidelines one of these years.

Good not great.

 

[Smart]

He's a top five defensive coach, but the other side of the ball is keeping him out of elite status.

I like the red-assed bastard.

Beasely played under Huggins.

No, Beasley played under frank martin in the 2007-2008 season. Huggs first year in Morgantown.

OH damn well I know huggy recruited em. Besides I know Martin had other good seasons with K-State. Like with Pullin.

True on all counts. I literally was delusional enough to believe Beasley and Billy Walker would come to Morgantown with him. Wish I wasn't so wrong.

It's odd that they didn't tbh.

He just did something unheard of, which is taking a program like the Gamecocks to a Final Four.

Doesn't make him an all-time great or anything, but it's quite an accomplishment
