rumor

[Bookcat]

not good. cane fans catching on.

This is a perfect example of why UM basketball fans are the worst - manufacturing controversy where none exists.

That said, if Frank Haith were to leave, the first man the UM powers-that-be should target is former Miami Senior High School and current Kansas State head coach Frank Martin, a Miami native and FIU grad. Martin's record at Miami Senior - one of the perennial powers in Florida - includes 5 state titles (2 as head coach) in 8 years as an assistant to the legendary Shaky Rodriquez, and 7 as head coach. He sent 14 players from Miami Sr. on to D-1, including current NBA players Udonis Haslem and Steve Blake. Bob Huggins hired him at Cincinatti and then took him with him to Kansas State, where Martin recruited two players drafted by the NBA last year - Michael Beasley and Bill Walker. Frank Martin is an outstanding coach, an outstanding recruiter, and would do what Randy Shannon is in the process of doing right now - keeping all the outstanding local talent at home.

 

please dear lord let Haith stay.

need to get on their boards and make it known that frank DID NOT recruit beas and walker.

Miami fans complaining about thugs? 

[Bookcat]

Miami fans complaining about thugs? 

qft.

its interesting that in the above post touting Frank, they haven't said anything about what he has done at Kstate in two years. Both postseason. 20+ wins. 2 first round byes. Great road resume. Instead they are bragging about his high school record in the hopes the local talent wants to play for him. wtf

[ArchE_Cat]

Local talent wants to come to Manhattan...see Clemente (and I guess Louis).

[Bookcat]

bookmark this.

I'm going to be sick.

 

[Bookcat]

if the rumor had legs.

give it a head and arms now. 

 

[hemmy]

DON'T DO THIS TO ME

[hemmy]

shut up 

[PCR]

Why would they want our high school coach?  That's just dumb.  Don't they know we didn't make the NCAA tournament this year either? 

[catzacker]

why do we always lose our coach after the NIT?

[catzacker]

  .....thought that usually means he's gone.

Miami Hurricanes' season ends with loss to Florida Gators
Miami's season ended with a second-round loss to Florida in the NIT, but Frank Haith said he would 'absolutely' return as UM coach next season.
 

Boxscore | Florida 74, Miami 60
BY JOSEPH GOODMAN
[email protected]
GAINESVILLE -- The Florida Gators' next game is Tuesday. The Miami Hurricanes' next game is sometime in November. And coach Frank Haith said Friday that he ''absolutely'' will be coaching it.

The Gators defeated the Canes 74-60 on Friday in the second round of the National Invitation Tournament at O'Connell Center. UF (25-10) will play host to Penn State (24-11) at 9 p.m. Tuesday in the quarterfinals of the NIT. Miami, ranked No. 17 nationally in the preseason, ended its season with a record of 19-13.

After the game, Haith addressed rumors that he might be interested in leaving Coral Gables, possibly for the University of Alabama. Asked if he will be back at Miami next season, Haith said: ``Absolutely.''

''I'm not going to say I'm interested in a job,'' Haith said. ``Obviously, it's nice to be wanted, but I think I'm needed in Miami. I've enjoyed my time in Miami. I'm enjoying my time in Miami. All that is, is just rumors.''
As for Haith's Hurricanes, they were rumored to be back on track after a win against Providence in the first round of the NIT on Wednesday.

That speculation turned out to be false. Miami missed its first seven attempts of the game -- all from behind the three-point arc -- and fell behind early.

''Early in the game there's no question we took a lot of quick, long jump shots and it put us in a bind,'' Haith said. ``I felt like that was something we did that really hurt us.''

Florida led 25-9 with 9:35 left in the first half when Miami's first three-pointer finally fell, a shot by senior guard Jack McClinton.

McClinton scored 13 points in 37 minutes in the final game of his collegiate career. The loss didn't seem to affect him much, though. Afterwards, he had already forgotten that his career at Miami was over.

''[Friday night], we didn't get the win, but there's more basketball to play,'' he said.

Maybe for the Gators, but not the Hurricanes. Whereas Miami struggled in the first half, Florida started a game better than it had all season. UF shot 63 percent in the first half, a season best.

UF starters Walter Hodge, Dan Werner, Erving Walker and Nick Calathes each made three-pointers in the game's first eight minutes to build a 20-2 lead.

Calathes finished with a game-high 21 points and also added seven assists and six rebounds.

Florida forward Alex Tyus had 13 points and 12 rebounds to counterbalance a solid performance from Miami forward Dwayne Collins, who finished with 17 points and eight rebounds.

''We came out energized and we just got the stops,'' Calathes said. ``We made shots and when we make shots it's a lot easier.''

Miami finally found its form with six minutes left in the first half and went on an 11-2 run, which included three-pointers from McClinton and Lance Hurdle.

Miami still trailed by 13 after the spurt and UF answered when Calathes buried his second three-pointer of the game with 4:12 left in the half.

Miami cut Florida's lead to 11 points three times in the second half, but never could overcome its sluggish first half.

Haith said after the game that Miami's hectic postseason travel schedule finally caught up to his team on Friday. After playing in the ACC tournament in Atlanta last weekend, UM had a quick turnaround for its game Wednesday in Rhode Island. Miami took a plane directly from Providence to Gainesville on Thursday.

The saddest part of all of this is that Bookcat won't STFU even if someone did bookmark this in order to rub his face in it when he's been proven wrong.

ACCSports.com:
Five years into the Frank Haith era, how do fans feel about him? Do they think he’s the long-term answer for the Miami hoops program?

Popadak:
In spite of their early infatuation with Coach Haith, the rally cry of “Faith in Haith” is slowly fading among some Canes fans after the disappointing 2008-09 season. In spite of this year’s struggles, Haith has done a good job recruiting and if all of the players stick and come to Miami he has no excuses not to compete in the ACC.

Most Canes fans seem content with giving him two more years to sort things out and get ‘er done. With Jack McClinton graduating that becomes a major task looking forward.

could bookcat be more of a vagina?  I'm thinking no.

could bookcat be more of a vagina?  I'm thinking no.

confirmed, he could not.

[chum1]

I seriously doubt that all twelve Miami basketball fans agree with that.

[cireksu]

He's banned from coaching in the state of Florida.  No worries.

[sonofdaxjones]

Welcome home SLTH Tim Jankovich.

[GoldbrickGangBoss]

I really don't see such a thing happening.

But whatev.

Continue with your paranoia.

[sdsuphilip]

You will be better off, one on one basketball for 40 minutes rarely works... your team will be mediocre with him as a coach.

[Cole]

i don't think martin will leave if offered the job. He knows what Loyalty is.

[GoldbrickGangBoss]

He'll leave if offered the job.

But you don't have to worry about that because Frank is still too small of a fish. Even for Miami.

[fatty fat fat]

He'll leave if offered the job.

But you don't have to worry about that because Frank is still too small of a fish. Even for Miami.

please do. I'd love to be wrong on this one. But you don't think this info comes out of nowhere do you?

Don't be mad because you know absolute dogcrap about this situation.

[Cole]

Martin knows what loyalty is. he'll stay.

[GoldbrickGangBoss]

He'll leave if offered the job.

But you don't have to worry about that because Frank is still too small of a fish. Even for Miami.

thx for the udpate, dork.

The only reason everyone here is scared is because they are under the imaginary impression that Frank is a hot commodity out there in the coaching market.

You should find it comforting.

Help me help you.
