Martin gives summer update

  • http://southcarolina.247sports.com/Article/Martin-gives-summer-update-78760

    New South Carolina men’s basketball coach Frank Martin spoke with the media on Monday afternoon to talk about his team and how long it could take to see some progress.

  • Thanks for this. Love the basketball info.

  • WG, just out of sheer curiosity, do you know where Darrin Horn is going to end up? I think it'll be somewhat interesting to follow his career and see how he progresses from the USC years.

  • It sure is nice to care about basketball again!

    Every time I hear Frank Martin's name associated with USC I still can't believe he is OUR head coach. Not quite the adjustment needed as when SOS was named our football coach but still an adjustment.

    We are proud to call you our coach Frank Martin and we look forward to big things in the near future!

    Last I heard he was going to hang out this season and will probably pop up on television a few times on ESPNU doing some different gigs.

    I believe he will probably show back on somebody's bench in the next two or three seasons.

    That's kind of what I figured at this point. He shouldn't be hurting for money. Hopefully he'll find a good fit down the road. If he's able to use lessons learned at USC and allow his style to evolve a bit, he could certainly find success elsewhere in the future.

  • Couldn't be happier with the Martin hire.

    Kudos to Hyman and staff for making it happen.

  • dont see D Horn as a TV guy...at least to me he does not seem to have the personality for ESPN.

  • Thanks for the report. I am very impressed with Martin. He is strait forward and blunt truths....I like that.

  • Don't have a lot of platitudes for a coach who hasn't coached a game yet. We're at the bottom of the SEC. We lost our best two players. We don't really have a point guard or any demonstrative leader on the court who pulls us together and makes us better. We don't have anybody who can defend the hoop. In come Frank Martin. If you rebuild this program into a winner, you are without question one of the greatest college coaches of all time. I'm pulling for you and I know it's going to take a while for you to get the job done. I'm one of the few Gamecock Basketball First fans, and sorry to say you could very well have thrown your career in ther tank when you came here. For that you deserve my loyalty and therefore you have it. Good luck, Frank.

    "and sorry to say you could very well have thrown your career in ther tank when you came here."

    Great confidence you have there. I think he will be much better than Horn simply because he gets pissed off when the players mess up. That shows he cares about the outcome of his coaching and wants his players to succeed.
