Frank Martin not happy with his Cocks
Quote:
1. "I've been doing this for 28 years, nine of which were as a junior varsity high school coach. That means I dealt with 14-year-olds. I've never been more embarrassed to call myself a basketball coach than I am today."
2. "If you take Bruce Ellington off our team, you'd probably have the 12 leading candidates for starring roles in ... The Return of the Living Dead, the zombie movie. If you took Bruce off our team, our guys would probably win Academy Awards for their performance in that movie."

I bet he was still at K State. He gave Weber a pretty good team to have fun with. Not as good as what Self gave Weber, though.

5. We lead the country in airball layups. Guys can't make layups, it's hard to win. Open threes. You've got guys who are supposed to make open threes, and they never make an open three. It's hard to do

8. If I had Jacob Pullen, Rodney McGruder, Denis Clemente, Brent Wright, Silver Robinson, Udonis Haslem, Steve Blake, Jose Mesu, Jamel Martinez, Allen Edwards, Steve Edwards, Doug Edwards ... if I had any of those guys on my team, then I'd have a guy I could trust on my team. Then we'd be alright tomorrow. Then again, I could tell you we wouldn't have played like we did today.

I still do not understand why he left KState for South Carolina. It seemed like a step down. Did he just want to live in SC?

He is a good coach, in a year of two they will be solid. He is just frustrated because his style is tough and hard nosed and he was left the opposite. He just has to suffer until he gets his kids in.

Agreed, when I would drive through SC on my way to Florida (when I lived near Charlotte), I would always pay a visit.

Boy I'm so glad the OP put an "s" on the last word in the title to this thread. Otherwise, Hall or John would have had to do some serious fast editing. I can't imagine the replies that might have followed.

Ha ha, Spurrier had similar words for his SC football team when asked by a reporter what he was going to do about their poor play...
"...well I can't trade em! I guess we'll have to coach em up..."
