KC Star's hired gun to defend Joe Posnaski and Jason Whitlock

[mcmwcat]

I suppose the only thing to do with this whole situation is to give Frank Martin an immediate raise and contract extension, that's the precendent set by ku and Mangino. 

 

[catzacker]

. . . no doubt something shady was going down at this HS and Martin got caught in the middle of it.

Poor innocent dupe.  I hate it when bad things happen to good fat people.

Sincerely,
Mark Magino and his $1.5m salary and contract extension after sanctions were placed on his program

It's gonna be interesting hearing what Keitz has to say on this article later today.

Considering Keitzman went through three panty liners in his last rant, he just might go into full red river mode today.  Can't wait!

Keitzman and his sponsors thank you for the and ratings your devotion to his program.

It's amazing how KK has such ratings since all the ku fans have boycotted him (yet somehow know exactly what he said on the radio...must have got an e-mail or something).

[WilliamTheWildcat]

Too many GoPowercult-like responses in this thread.  This article just wasn't that bad.  Martin will survive.  And hopefully flourish.

I have a feeling I'll soon be back in the ban zone on phog.  They don't like to keep the intelligent K-state posters around.

[Jayhox]

Why in the hell would I boycott Keitzman???  The guy is a perfect example of Joe K-Stater and one hell of an entertaining guy.  I always listen to him before I head out hoping to witness train wrecks.

Who is a perfect example of Sally ku-er? 

[WildCatzPhreak]

Cue mandatory picture of the mancer.

[WilliamTheWildcat]

Hox is great example of Joe ku. 

[kst8cat]

Catzacker, are you trying to imply that NCAA probation for academic fraud and recruiting violations at ku are more newsworthy than high school violations almost 10 years ago with no formal charges of wrong doing against the new head coach at K-State???

Get your priorities straight.

Mascott aka Matt Scott.  I'd refer you to 610 sports webpage to find out when his show is on but it's not listed in their line up.

I'm thrilled that KSU hired Martin (he may be even more entertaining than Huggy) but don't you guys ever wonder why, if he really was innocent, he didn't dispute being fired and being ran out of Florida high school basketball?
If I was fired over false accusations I can assure you I would be suing to clear my name and for my job/monetary compensation.

Actually, only the 'casual fans' care about it.  All of this controversy is over recruiting violations, because it's illegal to recruit in high school.  In college, recruiting is not only legal but necessary.  And Martin is very good at it, even at the high school level.

If you're in charge/responsible for a team/program and something bad/illegal happens within that program even if you didn't participate or have direct knowledge of those activities, you're going to be held accountable for that, which probably means losing your job**.

**the only exception being if you are Mark Mangino, in which case you get a pay raise.

Even if he did nothing wrong, he should get fired.  It's his program.  The buck stopped with him.  He wasn't run out of Florida basketball.  He got another job, at another Florida high school immediately.  The only punishment Martin got was being fired...which he should have been, if he knew what was going on or not.

Proven winner.

102-10.

YES!

[Levi Wolters]

I think it's hilarious that some of you are getting all worked up about what's being written about Frank Do you not remember all the columns when KSU hired Huggins? You guys didn't defend him, you just tagged him and the program with MCMW. Fantastic way to handle it, and throw it back in the critics face.

Why does Frank need to be pampered with your defense?

MHSAAVMW, no?

I'm not saying the guy is a saint.  I'd be willing to bet he at least knew what was going on.  I think the problem everyone is having is with the one-sided reporting of pretty non-factual information.  Reporting should be based on fact, opinions based on assumptions should be left to the individuals or at least the perspective pieces. 

But that is my take and I really don't care about those pieces, I'm with Levi.

Is it More High School Athletic Assoc Violations More Wins, Levi?

[sonofdaxjones]

LOL!!  But when Soren, or the now defunct Bob Fescoe or anyone else rags on KSU in near train wreck fashion.  Hox is there with a death grip on their scrotum or in the case of the Michelle Voepel's of the world, a death grip on their Chow like nether regions.

Hey, I've had beers with that guy who just melted down over who KSU just hired as their basketball coach,  he's not a bad guy.

Sad . . .

Preach on, Levi.

[J Rake]

On second read, this column just screams: "Look at me! Look at me!"

I'm not discounting some of what he writes -- in fact, I actually tend to
believe that most of the allegations he speaks of -- are true.

That said, you've got to question his motives.

FYI:

The Miami New Times is a weekly music, arts and entertainment publication.
In its current form, there is no sports ... at least I'm not seeing any.

[BullHawkWheel]

You guys really suck at spin control.  This guy was a sleaze bag then.  he is a sleaze bag now.  why do you think huggins made him his top assistant?  whether you guys will admit it or not,  frank martin is not qualified to run a big 12 team and was only hired because your one year wonders run your school.  your athletic dept consists of p*ssies who can't say no to 18 year olds.

I don't really care what's being written about Frank, just wish the same "journalistic responsibility" was levied towards ku.  The same standards do not apply to ku and KSU.
