Again, must I reiterate that the man has never recruited any 4 star players?  He continually recruits 3 star guys.  Why would MU want someone that cannot land top 100 players?  He has Bruce Pearl's recruits as seniors on this team, so the team is not his per say. 

No thanks.  We don't need a regression of talent.

He doesn't have a single 2015 recruit.  Looking back, if I have my dates right, he's topped out at 3 star recruits.

THIS is what we want over Howland?

Purdue's current coach just took his team to 12th place in a 12 team league...two straight non NCAA appearances.

CBB, you've posted this in other threads as well. Are you saying Painter's on the hot seat, and Martin might bolt for his alma mater when it happens? Otherwise, I don't understand the relevance.

I think Stallings has done just fine.  Coaching at Vanderbilt with their requirements is not easy and they have always had a competitive program.  Weber has been good as well, but certainly not great.

I'd be perfectly content with Martin. Took Missouri State from bottom feeder to conference champion. Took the mess left by Bruce Pearl, overachieved each of the past two years (contrary to what Tennessee fans will tell you), and made the sweet 16 this year. Plus his top two assistants are midwest guys.

Damn it.  Can't believe I signed up for an account.  Here goes my life until a coach is picked.

I pointed my buddy CA to that piece.

Lacking any inside knowledge, I like this guy.  I've watched some of their games towards the end of the year (probably because I'm fascinated that Maymon's fat ass is still playing) and they seem like a tough bunch.  

More importantly, he's young, black and has professional playing experience.  If he can relate to players and vice versa, that bodes well for retaining the talent from 2013's class and this falls'.  Normally, I'd say not much of a big deal but Duane Wilson, Deonte and the kids we have signed could carry our program for the next few years.   After that, maybe Martin's recruiting improves (if you operate under the assumption that it's not great now).  

Howland, on the other hand, could scare some players away with nasty stories out of UCLA (BS or not).  I also don't like the whispers of his salary demands.  I don't want this guy enough to pay him Shaka money.

Phil Cofer is a 4 star for his 2014 class.

Robert Hubbs was a consensus top 50 player in his 2013 class. He was the #4 SG in the class (JJJ was #3).

Rawane Ndiaye was a top JUCO in his 2013 class.

But other than that, all three star players. And he's in the Sweet 16. He also turned around a dismal Missouri State team.

You are right, his recruiting resume doesn't astound me, but he has never had access to our resources.

He's not my top pick (I think Danny Manning is my top pick) but I think he could turn out great.

+1. I've always liked Stallings. My wife is from Bloomington-Normal in central Illinois (ISU campus is there) and the population still raves about his coaching job at Illinois State from 93-99. I'd say he's a close second to Doug Collins down there as far as ISU notoriety.

Sidenote: remember when he brought his Vandy team into Milwaukee a few years back and absolutely torched us? That was brutal.

Yep, as much of a disappointment...and none of the stability if we happen to be wrong.

So lots of potential downside, and no upside because he'd bolt when something bigger comes along.  If we're going to settle for mediocrity, might as well be an assistant who hasn't failed (yet).

No, you missed their best player, Jarnell Stokes.  Stokes was a Five Star recruit, who graduated high school in December, 2012.  He immediately joined UT in January.  Stokes would have been a top 10 recruit in the class of 2013 if he would have stayed in high school.

I wouldn't worry so much about where coaches may or may not go in the future. Let's face it, no matter who MU hires, if that coach is successful, he's probably gone in about five years.

I'm beginning to change my mind about Martin.  I would be worried about Purdue, though.  Painter is one of the highest paid coaches in the NCAA and  hasn't earned his keep @ 1.7 million/year.  Martin might want to bolt for Purdue... if that ever happens. 

I'm interested in Martin.... but I'm still wary of him and some of his recruits.

Cuonzo Martin has Tennessee ranked 7th in kenpom ratings, is 17th in adjusted offense and 15th in adjusted defense. He's also recruited 2 5-star players to Tennessee in 3 years, but he hasn't landed the depth of top 100 recruits that we've seen Bazz land. He will also have way more resources and support in Milwaukee.

I understand being skeptical but every coach has flaws. There isn't a perfect coach out there who everyone will agree on. He might not be my 1st choice, but if MU ends up hiring Martin I won't be banging my head against the wall.

I half-heartedly agree. I guess I could live with Martin. I could warm up to him. The guys who would absolutely drive me to jump out a window are Wardle...Jeter...Weber...or any assistant.

BrewCity did a nice piece on Martin over at BCB and I'm in the Martin camp.

I really think a strong African-American coach is what Marquette needs. He's got the coaching chops, he turned Pearl's poop-pile into a winner quickly and he'll be coming off a Sweet 16.

Not bad at all, especially considering he's probably accomplished as much as Shaka if you take away his fluke Final Four.

Martin's team doesn't look like it's that disciplined on defense at all.  I'm not impressed.  He's getting out-coached.  Tennessee looks lazy at times in the half court defense.  There just doesn't seem to be much continuity at all.  They look lost !!!  With a team that is quick and long as Tennessee, your strength should be guarding the perimeter.

For anyone who thinks Wardle is on Martin's level....sorry....if Brian isn't an MU alum....his name isn't even anywhere near the list.  Martin is coaching in SEC.  Has team in Sweet 16.  And all of the above are relevant points. 

Read the article...and they take away private jets for him to recruit...due to boosters getting frustrated?  Far less support for him than what he'd have at MU...and I like a coach with a chip on his shoulder..

I've heard players love playing for him. Also, he was an assistant at Purdue for 8 years. He had a hand in recruiting Hummel, Moore, and the other JuJuan Johnson. Also, played for the Bucks. He's not the sexy hire that Shaka was, but I think he can be as good or better X's and O's guy than Shaka. The Pomeroy numbers for Tennessee are very encouraging. Also, Michigan blew the doors off VCU last year too.

Below is a video. I know I'm reaching (this is probably a coach's version of a recruit highlight video), but he seems like a guy who can relate with players.

I was all about Shaka and then Howland. I also know jack crap about basketball other than I love MU and get swept up with the "it guys." I knew nothing about Martin until earlier today but have been reading some articles and can honestly say he sounds like he would be a great fit. It seems like a lot of the complaints that Vols fans had (besides more losses than they would like) were about his low key personality.

I, for one, would love a coach that doesn't come off as a used car salesman. I thought we had that with Buzz before his shtick became obvious.

I think that Martin would come with a chip on his shoulder after how he's been treated down in TN.

Where has it been reported the current Marquette players want to play for Martin?

I am not aware of anywhere outside of Scoop.  I am just reading what is being posted here by reputable souls.  Try the Goodman's ESPN article thread.  I could be wrong, but trust those in charge of the search would only be targeting him if he was a good fit with current and future prospects.  I also like the fact that Jerry Wainwright is around to help shepherd him a bit (and hope he will if Martin comes).  No question, I would rather Shaka, but I think this Martin guy could do a lot for us if given the right support.

I don't want a coach at MU that needs help.  It's getting to the point of absurdity if Cuonzo Martin is a serious candidate.

Howland knows what he's doing and has done nothing but win.  Just give him the job and end this nonsense.

Martin would be as big a reach as Wardle.

BrewCity did a nice piece on Martin over at BCB and I'm in the Martin camp.

I really think a strong African-American coach is what Marquette needs. He's got the coaching chops, he turned Pearl's poop-pile into a winner quickly and he'll be coming off a Sweet 16.

Not bad at all, especially considering he's probably accomplished as much as Shaka if you take away his fluke Final Four.
Looks like the spin has started!

And as for that poster saying Wardle is in Cuonzo's league...tell him to come talk to us once Wardle gets just 1 team to the NCAA tourney, much less a Sweet 16..

No, it was Stokes for not kicking it out to McCrae at free throw line wide open.  Levert had left him to double Stokes.  Stokes makes pass, might have ended different.

I just love how everyone wants to speculate but doesn't bring up how Cuonzo was out-coached.  If you put Buzz in Cuonzo's spot, Tennessee wins.  Tennessee couldn't make adjustments in the first half which contributed to their demise.  While they were patient in the 2nd half, it just wasn't enough.  

Tennessee sure has a lot of athleticism.  It's too bad it's not coached to play defense.  This team had the potential to be in the final four if the coach would stress fundamental defense.  

If I'm MU, I don't make the call to this guy.  The talent that is on the court for Tennessee doesn't match the end result.  They should be better, more efficient.

Actually, that last set play was very Buzz-like in that it was screwed up from the get-go.

I don't know how good of a recruiter Martin is, but his game coaching isn't at all impressive.

Tennessee was out of sync for a whole half!!!  That's inexcusable!  Tennessee definitely had the more talented team, yet lost.  If adjustments had been made in the first half on defense, the outcome is much different.  Tennessee played lazy on defense in the first half!  They're not disciplined at all.  That's on the coach.

Although Tennessee put forth a valiant effort, in the end it was the "hot" young coach with questionable recruiting ability and a veteran team losing to an older veteran coach with a proven record of recruiting ability and success with a young team.

And of course we all know how important academics are in the SEC too!

Please MU, pass on Martin.

LMAO!!!  What a poor rebuttal!!!  I was talking about the game tonight and you didn't mention one part about it.  Did you even watch it?  Cuonzo was out-coached buddy... do you even know how to spot someone being out-coached?

Tennessee was longer around the perimeter and it took them until halftime to make adjustments.  Those adjustments should have been made in the first half.  That is on the coach...  Cuonzo lost them that game.  

Look dude...you said TN doesn't play good D - they are Top 20 in the country..15th to be exact.  And you want to suggest Buzz would have coached better tonight?  We were 96th on offense and 80th in defense.  Know what TN was in offense?  17th.  Michigan was a seed I believe?  TN an 11.  Michigan should have won the game...

WAnt to talk about adjustments?  How did TN cut it to 1 point game with 9 seconds left after trailing by 11 at the half. Seems to me adjustments were made.

Do you want to continue the debate after person after person here just owns you?

Right. Michigan has about 4 nba guys to Tennessee's 1 maybe?

Tennessee killed Michigan in the 2nd half.  Michigan shot lights out in the 1st because Tennessee was disorganized on defense.   Why didn't Cuonzo make adjustments in the 1st half?

I know this is a tough question for you..... but why didn't Cuonzo make defensive adjustments in the 1st half?  I will tell you why.....  He's not a good coach or maybe he not experienced enough yet.   Otherwise, Tennessee was much more atheltic and longer.  Once they made adjustments, Michigan was toast.  Poor coaching beat Tennessee not Michigan.

Also, I'd shudder to think what a Beilein coached team that shoots the 3 well would do to a Buzz Williams coached defense. Yes, we beat them that one year in an early season tournament, but that team wasn't nearly as good as the last two years Michigan teams.

Agree - In his view anytime a team trails at any point in time in the game of basketball the coach isn't making proper adjustments.  Whatever.  I'd say plenty of adjustments were made.  TN is NOT that athletic...Maymon and Stokes are heavy on their feet...albeit physical presences...but Michigan with Robinson, Stalskus, Levert, Irvin...those guys all probably play in the NBA one day...

Martin has a lot more to talk with recruits about in this day and age than does Howland - and he just proved this season, as well as the previous 5...he can coach.  He's young, played college ball, played in NBA in last 10 years....that stuff reasonates...and now has a Sweet 16 under his belt..

I didn't say that. I think Buzz is a very good coach. Better at X's and O's than he's been given credit for. However, I don't see him going up well against Beilein.

His first 5 years, I think he was great. Last year, not so much. I'm hoping the next coach is able to play freshman more. Buzz was very successful with experienced talent. People mentioned Martin's lack of recruiting (which has been slightly disproven). I saw somewhere a person posted how he usually does pretty well playing freshman.

I think Buzz made things too complex on defense that most freshman couldn't live up to his expectations to get time. I wouldn't mind a simpler scheme that allows players to pick up on it quicker and develop in the system, rather than riding the bench since they can't learn the defense. See Burton early on and JuJuan.

Howland can make some pretty interesting talk with recruits discussing all the guys that he's put in the NBA.  I would think that would resonate pretty strongly.

I concur.  How does that guy even know what Martin says to his players or any recruits?  It's a pretty lame comment.  He's only saying that because Martin is younger and is assuming Howland is some out of touch old guy.  lmao !!!

You are the same guy who said if Buzz was coaching in this game TN would have won.  Ever see Buzz's teams get shredded by the 3-ball??  Don't think Michigan would have rained 3's on Buzz coaching TN?  Still waiting for you to address TN being Top 20 in Offense and Defensive Efficiency.  How does that happen for an entire season with sh$tty coaching?  If you want to micro-analyze this Michigan game, and get obssessed over 1 half of basketball - go for it.  Knee jerk all you want.  I'll trust the data over TN's 35 games that put them 15th in the country defensively.  And 17th offensively.  Maybe just some blind/dumb luck for them in spite of their coaching, huh??

Tennessee played in a watered down conference this year so their defensive stats are inflated.  If Buzz had a backcourt that was athletic like Tennessee's it'd be a different ballgame.  Wayyyyy different.  Buzz's teams get shredded because Jake Thomas and Derrick Wilson are slow to the ball.  It's not because of his coaching...... sigh.

CBB, you've posted this in other threads as well. Are you saying Painter's on the hot seat, and Martin might bolt for his alma mater when it happens? Otherwise, I don't understand the relevance.

I think finishing dead last in the Big Ten isn't a good thing...it's not like they lost four 1000 point scorers.  Two years in a row missed the dance and actually accepted a CBI bid two years ago....not good. 

I would think he needs to make the NIT next year at a minimum
