Title: Cuonzo Martin
Post by: WadeATKBurton on March 26, 2014, 06:03:28 PM
Don't know if anyone mention this, but Cuonzo(might be spelled wrong)  Martin is in the mix as well. I personally don't think we have a shot at Shaka Smart and Ben Howland isnt coming either. Thats just my opinion!  However, Cuonzo would be a perfect fit!

Somehow I'd be more excited if we made a run at Crean.  His seat was cooler than Martin's most of the year.  Either Tim Maymon is trying to screw us over, or we need him to get in Cuonzo's ear and tell him how terrible Marquette is.

Might as well.  We can add precautionary health services for Boeheim to our basketball budget so Hopkins lasts more than two years.

If we're down to the mid tier two's, go get him.  It might be a decent two or three years.  Just send vitamins to Syracuse every day to keep Boeheim healthy.

He's on the hot seat at Memphis, 5 years there and not past the round of 32.  He recruits well but they all play street ball.  He's being compared to what Calipari did before him.

Martin makes 1.3M a year, lower end of the SEC.  At end of year, UT was about ready to start looking elsewhere, but his team got hot.  He is in the SEC and could possibly take his team to the Elite 8.  Don't see it.

Post by: bamamarquettefan on March 26, 2014, 07:27:21 PM
I am skeptical a Power Conference coach will come - much less one in the Sweet 16 - would come to the Big East this season while everyone is trying to figure out if we are a Power Conference or Midmajor. The RPI is hard to argue with, but noone in the Sweet 16 is bad in a first year.

That being said, this does point to why we can't be impatient. If the coach is coming from a team still playing, I'd certainly rather this play out than have an early pick.

Also, please stop picking on Brian Wardle. I realize hiring one of your own makes you look small, etc., but the way he improved Green Bay he could get a great gig somewhere and I hate to look like we are tearing down. Many of us were very concerned Buzz was a very unexciting pick, and he was objectively our second best coach ever if you base it on percent of years in tournament, in Sweet 16, etc.

Who do u think is a good REALISTIC choice?

Realistic?  After these last three days, reality is not like nirvana.  It is a collection of individual's thoughts, perceptions, bragging of confidential informants, and reporters trying to beat their competition to the story proclaiming they were the ones who broke the story and had it first.  The whole "you heard it here first folks" theme.  Thats what they get paid for, breaking the story and putting it on their journalistic resume.  Others are proclaiming who it will be and if wrong, then they will say the deal was in place and fell through. No lose situation.

That being said, Smart and Howland are the choices in which the basketball program would benefit the
most.  Should be no argument amongst any of the scoopers regarding that fact.  Who is option #3 is beyond anyone of this board's thoughts at the present time and any name being thrown out on social media is not a comprehensive thought at this time.  

BTW, if MU holds a presser to answer questions about a coaching search, it may be the first in the history of NCAA DIV I basketball.  Got to admit, it is fun reading all this stuff and shaking the head at times.

Cuonzo Martin is a Purdue guy.  Matt Painter has some issues going on there, no way would I hire Martin for a number of reasons, but that is one.

For as much as people on this board can't wait to say how hot the seat is for certain coaches, let us not forget how hot Martin's seat was just two months ago.  Some of you guys really need to make up your minds
