Title: Frank Martin
Post by: SdK on December 18, 2015, 07:10:42 PM
Without Pullen, is he ever worth a crap? I don't think so. I think Frank needed Jake more than Jake needed Frank.

Currently 9-0 and beating up on Clemson :dunno:

But I do love Jake. Easily my favorite qhat of all time.

Everybody is humping Frank now because of 10-0. He must have learned from Snyder "we'll do what's best for the program and pad my record". He's beaten NOBODY. He plays 2 currently ranked teams ALL YEAR. Kentucky and aTm.  GTFO.

That's the trouble with the SEC, he has like no shot of going to the tournament this year because how shitty the conference is.  He definitely will have to schedule a better non con next year.

Frank has put together a pretty nice team.  However, I've seen SC play, and don't see a clear difference in quality.  I think they'd likely be 8-2 playing our schedule and I think there's a good chance we'd be 10-0 playing their schedule. 

point being - why does Frank have a nice team likely to get into the NCAA and we have a crap team hopefully bound for the NIT?

The biggest difference between our teams at this point is that we've played two better teams than them and have two losses to show for it.  I think they pretty clearly have better chance at getting in.  KenPom has them at 25-6 to our 17-14 so it doesn't look particularly close either

I'm seriously just talking about who's got the better chance based off the schedule. I don't think that's taking away from Frank, i'm sure he would tell you it's pretty light too. We've only played two tough teams so far, so i'm not announcing us as champions. However, the double round robin is lethal in the Big 12.

The way it looks right now, this twenty fifteen/sixteen Bruceketball team can probably make the tourney with an 8-10 confy record, with a few of the right wins. I hope they can find a way to do that, AT LEAST.

if we won the rest of our regular season games and south carolina lost the rest of theirs, could we finally put this argument to bed? 
b/c it might happen and then we would be one of the hottest teams in the b12 and the sec losers would be ice cold.

but what if the opposite happened and frank and team went on a rampage and won out?  there would be a lot of posters here who would look like complete fools.  of course, all of the staunch oscar supporters on goEMAW would start making excuses for him.

k state and south carolina will always be tied together as the ying and the yang of college hoops.  kinda crazy that both coaches coached at k state at one time in their careers.  i imagine they wrote good cover letters that helped them get their jobs at the ksu cats.

keep it under tight wraps, no one must know.

then both ad's agree to make the switch.  we get frank-oscar for the rest of the season and they get oscar-frank. 

during halftime at the last home game each coach sits in a chair at midcourt and "unmask" - imagine the excitement as fans learn the true identity of their coach.

let the marketing genius AD's let the dollars start rolling in from the genius social media experiment.  i can see both ad's cheersing magnums of veuve together and loling their sec asses off

Getting a few wins isn't worth his angry looks & rude behavior to the players. I'd pick Weber's attitude any day over Martin.

Amen! So glad coach doesn't get in the kids face and scream at them. Love our team!!!

Really wish we could all get behind the staff we have!!!

I'll be perfectly blunt.   That was the shittiest basketball I've seen any P5 team play all year.    Granted I didn't see St. John's get blown out by a DII school and I only watched part of the KU vs UCLA game.   But, what I saw from USC was horrific on every level.

I mean, you get that 2-3 times a year with Frank. Don't know if it's the style, or if he intentionally lets his teams crap themselves sometimes just so he can have some leverage afterwards to teach, but it happens. I did enjoy that if we weren't losing to Nebraska or something in the most awful fashion imaginable, our teams were usually eating the other team's face off. Matter of preference I guess, I'm easily able to stomach a small number of awful nights a season for balls to the wall intensity during the other games.

I think the playing style of his teams and his coaching style is very difficult for players to maintain at a high level for 32+ games so his teams will always prone to spectacular duds when they just don't have it on a given night. As we know it can lead to rough Januarys but he has yet to have a team that withers in February and March.

Nice win for my guys tonight, 11-0 run to end regulation to force OT and then pull away in said OT. I don't want to talk about that though.

Can we discuss Ole Miss, a big bad power 5 school in the SEC, building a new basketball arena in 2015 that has a seating capacity of 9000? It was half full at best tonight. Is there any other school in the power 5 outside of Boston College so hapless that they would build a new arena today that small and still come no where close to filling it? I mean only Northwestern has a shittier basketball history than Nebraska and they built a 15,000 seat arena. Has Ole Miss ever been good at anything? Why aren't they in the Sun Belt Conference?

this is correct.  he's benefitted from a weak SEC schedule.  i don't think he'll have a problem getting into the tournament, they're 21-5 and 1.5 games back in conference, w. UK and LSU still having to play each other.  usc has the easiest remaining schedule of the 3 teams.

it's more that his team isn't very good than that he coaches a variable team, imo.  i hope he can keep up the smoke and mirrors long enough to get a tourney invitation.

this is correct.  he's benefitted from a weak SEC schedule.  i don't think he'll have a problem getting into the tournament, they're 21-5 and 1.5 games back in conference, w. UK and LSU still having to play each other.  usc has the easiest remaining schedule of the 3 teams. 

as i type this, pitbull is performing on jimmy fallon's stage, i wonder if frank dvr'd it?

Agree with you both. They also have a very good RPI, 25th at the start of that Mizzou game. They will get in easily, even with two more bad losses.

Good points, especially considering the field.

You think? TCU was decent last year. I obviously trust you, because you always know what you're talking about, but Mizzou is 10-16 overall this year. This surprises me. I guess that TCU team only won two conference games that year and Mizzou has won 3 this year.

Going by kenpom, Mizzou is not nearly as bad as that TCU team. That team was the worst Big 12 team since 2002.

I swear on my life, I had a dream about FM last night. I called him and apologized to him for being mean to him on twitter and told him how butthurt I was that he left, wished him luck in the tourney, told him i'd be rooting for him, etc. Then I woke up and hear about this game on the radio this morning. I'm so confused on what angle I should take with my life now. Maybe i'm taking a little joy because 'meister tried to tell me how great the SEC was the other day.

I'll say showing up everyday to be disrespected and humiliated in front of your teammates by the guy who recruited you takes a certain type of resolve not common. In the situation between Will and Frank. Will was not the pussy.

I think it was a motivation tool. Some players react and perform better to verbal "abuse". Will was definitely not that type of player, however. I do believe Frank was trying to push him to be better. The burning their house thing I've never heard, but if he did say it, that's pretty mumped up.

Frank and Sprads was a confusing time.  on the one hand, Sprads was so terrible that you can understand Frank's uncontrollable anger.  But on the other hand, if Frank's recruiting hadn't been such total hot dog crap towards the end, Sprads would have been sitting on the bench where he belonged - or off the team altogether. 

I feel much the same way about Bazooka Joe.  While he clearly blows, I blame Bill much more than bazooka.  But for the crap recruiting, Bazooka wouldn't even be on this roster.  it's not his fault he's our best QB.

frank just couldn't recruit point guards.  we had nobody to carry the torch from Pullen/Clemente to Angel.  Hence Sprads.   

other than coaching three of the best pgs in school history during his five years at kstate, he couldn't recruit pgs.

I don't know what to tell you.  You've convinced yourself that Frank was an exceptional recruiter.  he wasn't.  it is what it is.  We had some exceptional players (either skilled or athletically or both) enter our program on the Huggs wave.  Beasley, Walker, McGruder, Pullen, Jamar, etc.  But we just weren't pulling the same level of talent toward the end.  I'm sorry.  guys like Gip, Shane, Nino, Sprads were all good/decent/average players.  This is what our recruiting had devolved into.  Pretty decent, average players.

haha, OK.  Pullen wasn't a PG in the first place.  Clemente was very good.  Angel was pretty good - much better than anything we have now. 

The single identifiable factor that marked martin's success was Junk Yard Catdom.  We were super athletic and played insanely hard.  That was Frank Martin basketball.  it wasn't pretty at times, but we clawed your face off.

martin's current usc team is junkyard catty as eff.  but no pg keeps them from being good.  call pullen a pg or a combo or whatever you want.  he was a smallish guard that could shoot, defend and handle the ball.  if you want a good team you usually need two of them.  you're mumped if you don't have at least one.

Huggins hired Delonte & had him stick around with Frank because he felt bad. Foster won't go pro, he's too short. Beasley- Delonte & Walker are out of the league. It's a very weird thing to brag about. If that's what you meant by multiple, is 2, 2 guys who didn't last long in the league.

and to go back to the delonte hill comment who hired delonte? i mean frank put multiple players in the pros our only player with a shot to go pro that oscar has recruited was kicked off the team for smoking rough ridin' weed. i get you dont like frank but if you think im grasping at straws youre nuts
Huggins hired Delonte & had him stick around with Frank because he felt bad. Foster won't go pro, he's too short. Beasley- Delonte & Walker are out of the league. It's a very weird thing to brag about. If that's what you meant by multiple, is 2, 2 guys who didn't last long in the league.

that's not what happened at all. Hill stayed because of money. We payed him money.

Delonte420k has been forgotten.  Currie has erased everything.

frank just couldn't recruit point guards.  we had nobody to carry the torch from Pullen/Clemente to Angel.  Hence Sprads.   

other than coaching three of the best pgs in school history during his five years at kstate, he couldn't recruit pgs.
Angel is so overrated. Sorry, but he was up and down with us. I know he's a very likable player, but he was very inconsistent.

Did you forget that Angel was a true freshman point guard when he played for Frank?
No, I just feel like Nigel was comparable his sophomore year. I liked Angel, but I remember being frustrated with him a lot. I was impressed with Stokes this year too.

so frank recruited pullen, denis and angel but he couldn't recruit point guards and angel and nigel were comparable players at kstate?

i mean i've read some dumbfucks post some dumbfuck posts, but in terms of back to back dumbfuckery, you two dumbfucks take the dumbfuck cake or whatever saying fits here. dumbfucks being the keyword.

The more I read this thread the more I think Rodney is the most underrated player in K-State history. He carried two different coaches to great things.

Rodney won't get the nostalgia years from now that guys like Pullen will, that's true, but I do feel like people valued McGruder a lot while he was here. People knew he was the reason we were so successful. Underrated historically? Very. Most underrated? Possibly, certainly could make the case for that, but if we're talking super underrated I'll always have a soft spot for David Hoskins.  :blush:

I do admit my hate for Frank is very bizarre. He was pretty great in real life. I just think he's full of crap. Preaching one thing and doing the complete opposite by leaving when times got tough.  :dunno:

My dislike for Frank is selfish. Kruger left us in 1990 for Florida. Several years later he has them in the FF. That is tough to take. It stings because you think it could have been us. I liked Frank because he was winning and established a brand for K-State basketball that I liked. But if he were to be highly successful at SC and get to another FF, it would hurt. I am pissed at Frank for leaving and pissed at Currie for not being able to co-exist.

Non-elite, but reasonably successful, coaches usually have ups and downs in recruiting. Like, Frank was killing it with Te and then he has a couple years where he was just pulling in solid classes. Classes that I'd kill to have now btw. At SC he has landed some 4* kids, because things bounce back for guys like Frank, because he has a winner's mentality. If recruiting starts to slide a little, he gets some new blood in there and they get after it. Frank will never pull in consistent top 25 classes, but he'll snag one every once in awhile, and the other classes will all still be solid. Compare that to giving Vulture a scholly because there literally isn't anyone better who will come to your school...

Angel was really incredible at assists. His rate of 11.7 per 100 possessions as a sophomore is still the best (by far) over the last 15 years. His assist to TO ratio that year was 2.2 good for 4th. His freshman year assists per 100 at 8.6 is 7th.

Wacky, Nigel Johnson was a very objectively bad point guard. He never even sniffed a 2-1 a/to ratio. The closest he got was 1.5/1, and that is just terrible. He was bad at basketball. He buoyed his 3p% his sophomore year by having three out of body experience type games, but other than that, he was a bad shooter as well (shooting 20% from behind the arc in all other games, and under 30% his freshman year as well, which was also buoyed by a couple of ridiculous performances surrounded by 17% shooting from behind the arc in all other freshman contests). He sucked. Anything positive to be found in his stats can be linked back to a handful of games, literally like five good games in two years of college basketball. He was horrible. We are so bad now that he actually would have value on this team, but that is an indictment of oscar's recruiting and in no way an endorsement of Nigel's Johnson basketball skill, which was minimal.

I don't think he would have much value this year; Brown and Stokes are much better players. He might get minutes over Ervin.

Johnson was a big reason we beat KU and ISU, so in a way I can see why wacky is overvaluing his play, but its still really weird.

Also, I often morphed Nigel with Wesley and kept calling one or the other "Wesley Johnson", who was actually the former Cyclone and Orangeman who is now in the NBA.

I don't particularly care for our seniors, but I like the rest of this team.

I really like DJamer, Stokes, Brown, and Wade. I go back and forth with Wes, but mainly like him. I'd take all of those guys over Nigel.

Tulsa and Vandy over USC is unreal.
How is Vandy unreal?

USC has more overall wins, more wins against the top 100, more road wins and beat Vanderbilt head-to-head; Vandy has a significantly better RPI but the committee proved they didn't care about that.

I don't find any of the tournament snubs unreal really. These things happen every year, the fault is in teams putting themselves into the position that one of the committee's subjective criteria can be used to leave you out.

That's a cop out. Yes, the teams need to win and not put themselves on the bubble but there will always be teams on the bubble and the committee has a job to do just like the committee does. This committee managed to do the following
1. Put a team in with the worst ever RPI.
2. Not only did the committee put Syracuse in but they gave them a comfortable seed. Letting them use a coach suspension who their governing body suspended because of rules violations is a joke on several levels.
3. First time an eligible 24 win power 5 team was excluded.
4. Put a team in with the lowest strength of record for at large in tournament history.
5. Excluding a mid-major who is #30 in the RPI with 7 top 100 wins and 3 top 25 wins, two of these on the road and including a mid-major with an RPI of 58 with 7 top 100 wins and one to 25 win is criminal.

Any one or even two of these things in a given year is meh, all of them happening and more in one season is failure.

Are you incapable of placing your weird Frank deal aside to see the garbage job the committee did? Tulsa lost to a team appreciably worse than Georgia twice out of its last three games by 10 and 22 points. And again USC beat Tulsa. USC didn't get in so it is what it is but there are two at large teams inarguably worse than USC.

USCe handed their resume to get jobbed by the committee over on a silver platter with a 4-6 Feb and March.   

There were a bunch of teams that were absolute crap down the stretch but were in.  USCw was 3-7 and got in comfortably. I'm pretty sure they don't have a win as good as SC @ A&M too.

With the field at 68 now, I have a much harder time thinking a team was egregiously robbed.  IMO, Frank deserved to be in but was punished for his laughable non-con schedule.  I think playing a tournament team, even if it would've meant a loss, would have helped the resume enormously.  The committee usually rewards a non-major with a tough non-con so I don't really have a problem with them punishing the opposite.

Can't believe it hasn't been mentioned that SC beat Tulsa on a neutral floor. A little bit of a paradox that they were punished for not having enough top 50 wins because Tulsa wasn't in the top 50.

Literally, a team they beat was better than them because that team wasn't quite good enough by the NCAA's standards.

The same could be said about Vanderbilt.

Yeah, this is a great case where top 50 wins becomes really goofy. Tulsa finished with 4, Vandy with 2, and South Carolina with only 1, but none of these teams finished in the Top 50 in the RPI. So South Carolina beats what ended up being 2 tournament teams, but they didn't really get much credit because neither showed up as Top 50 wins.

This is where the committee has to make the next move and adjust the value of top 50 wins for winning on the road, at home, or a neutral venues. This is where kenpom's Tier A and B lists for teams can become helpful and there is no reason the committee couldn't adopt a similar criteria with the RPI.

Boeheim is coming off of a suspension and the Cuse were ineligible for the postseason last year, but sure let's give them the benefit of the doubt with their shaky tourney resume in 2016.

The same could be said about Boeheim and Syracuse.
you could say the same about boeheim and syracuse as i did about haith and tulsa, but you'd sound like a mongloid doing it.
i mean really.

Boeheim is coming off of a suspension and the Cuse were ineligible for the postseason last year, but sure let's give them the benefit of the doubt with their shaky tourney resume in 2016.

Not exactly an apples to apples comparison with Haith and Tulsa, but there are some similarities.

Anyone with a functioning brain knows the Boeheim thing is way worse. Haith mumped Mizzou, I mean they have a post season ban this year and Haith is yoloing his ass off in the tourney. But not only did Boeheim eff up at his current school, but the committee excused his team's performance while he was suspended. You can't make this crap up. I wonder if someone on the infractions committee called one of their buddies on the tournament committee and was like :comeatme:

you're really half assing it lately.  anyone with half a brain realizes that the ncaa investigation into haith and missouri is still active.  the extent to which haith "mumped up" at his school isn't known publically.  that's on top of his infractions at his previous school.

boeheim paid his penance and the crap he did is behind him.  haith can't say the same thing which is why it's hilarious that the ncaa bent over for him.

There are very few stud basketball players that go on to become ace coaches. The generally accepted formula is you must make the team, be a scrub, "do the little things" as coaches say, and be the head coach's favorite kid.  Underwood fits most of that criteria. Pullen doesn't. He was too good of a player to translate that into coaching success.

Pretty weak explanation. Like, they insinuated that the app made an error, but never really say that it did. And if it was the fault of whoever was inputting the data, why would south carolina's info get put in there if they weren't in the tourney? I highly doubt some intern just thought to themselves, "Hmmm, I know it says Vandy, but I'm going to send it to S. Carolina instead. My boss will appreciate this, he says he values initiative." Still seems weird.
