Dang, Frank has some anger issues. Apparently, he has been criticized and is tired of it.
He reminds me of a much worse Bobby Knight. Bobby won a lot more. Martin does have anger issues it seems..
Said a lot of nice things about Marquette though to be fair. Sounded like he really understood Marquette and knew a lot about the program.

He sure did. Was nice to hear.
Buzz and Frank are BFFs
Some nice comments from Frank.
For those that don't want to listen to it all. Starts to talk about Marquette at 12-13 minute mark.
In defense of Frank, seems people were pretty critical of him when his team started to slip at the end of the season. I can see the guy being pretty defensive.

I enjoyed his press conference. He gets "it".
6:55 he's complaining about the location..... YOUR A 7 SEED WITH A HOME GAME WHAT??????????????????????

He wasn't complaining at all about the venue. He was just saying that Duke and Marquette fans will get the majority of tickets because they have savvy fans who know how the ticket game is played for the NCAA tourney while the South Carolina fans are newbies to this thing.
And the Marquette screaming fans comment was in the context of what a great program Marquette is, so what are you bitchin' about?

I took it as him saying 'Duke and UNC fans will get the majority of tickets' and he hopes there are some left over above their allotment for SC fans.
He was VERY complimentary of the program though. I can see him and Buzz being friends and conversing on the same level, i have a tough time imagining him and Wojo hitting it off.
Martin is a fierce competitor and he has a keen appreciation of Marquette's tradition. Mocking him is silly - especially by a bunch of goof balls on a partisan website. Frank Martin knows basketball. Very few here do, despite the absurd analytics offered up as 'expertise.'
Under different circumstances I would be happy with Frank Martin as our coach.

There he is!
So because I said he appears to have anger issues, that means I and others here don't know basketball? Got it.
With Frank being such a fierce competitor, maybe he shouldn't be so sensitive when it comes to criticism.
He called a reporter saying he wasn't going to ever talk to him again because that reporter said that UK plays in a bad basketball conference. Come on..
I like him as a coach, just calling it like I see it though.
Thanks for what I'm sure is the beginning of directing this thread to the sh**ter. If only we had Frank instead of wojo, right?

I thought the exact same thing...but then I remembered that I was watching it at 200%
There are few things more pathetic than a head basketball coach slamming reporters for criticizing his team.
He said we have two big guys that can really score the ball inside. Heldt's got a great reputation already as a dominant force inside.
That's great...he DOES know Marquette.
He looks like the one-armed man from "The Fugitive." I believe Devlin-McGregor is a team sponsor.
savvy coaches don't provide opposing teams with bulletin board material. probably has the team duct-taped or well trained-smart!
MU better be ready for BET v2.0 with SC in Greenville versus Seton Hall in NYC.
I listened to a lot of it. Very complimentary of Marquette, our past three coaches, the program, Al etc. He is a tough competitor, and his him will come out playing tough for rebounds, loose balls, etc. We need to be ready for a physical game. Interesting guy.

oh, matty v says they're buds..."Martin met with local media on Sunday evening to discuss his team's inclusion in the NCAA Tournament. During that session, he mentioned his friendship with Marquette coach Steve Wojciechowski, his ties to Marquette's program, his thoughts on this year's Golden Eagles, the inspiration he received from watching Al McGuire coach, Marquette's tradition and much more."
He is clearly a very good coach.
The coachey, us versus them mindset can be a little much but it works for him.

Speaks to your character that you criticize Wojo and yet would have no issues with the Marquette coach being a guy who is banned from participating in Floridian high school basketball.

For those of you who say he has anger issues, no he has a major anger problem, worse than Knight. That is why he is not in the Big 12 and is not in a top program. He is an outstanding coach with a huge problem. That is why I have said if we can get into his head he'll get tossed out of the game or at least pick a T. Watched a lot of Big 12 basketball as one of my sons went to Marquette West.

I think that is a positive for us.
Quote from their board:
"I like our chances, unlike shooting, defense never slumps. We have to rebound those missed 3s better than we have. Should be a good match up for Silva as they don't challenge the rim. Play him at center and make him a rebounding machine.
Only thing that bothers me is teams that can hit 3s in bunches are never out of a game, no lead is safe."
1. Defense does slump less often then shooting, but shooting slumps are less of a problem when a team has many options and MU has four to six (depending on how you feel about JJJ and Cheatham's 3 pt abilities) threats from deep.
2. "Don't challenge the rim". Humm, even if you discount Fischer inside, you need to keep in mind drives by JJJ, Howard, Wilson, Cheatham and even Reinhardt. So maybe some concern over Silva's propensity to foul is warranted.
3. Our toughest task, IMO, will be limiting turnovers bringing the ball up against pressure.
4. They seem unaware of MU's depth which can be a big help bringing fresh guys in against pressure, and overcoming foul trouble.
The gameplan for this is as simple as it gets. It took the collective wisdom of Scoop a few hours to put this together, but I'm sure Wojo had it drawn up Sunday evening. Which is plenty of time to teach the scheme.
It all boils down to execution, folks. Theirs and ours. But even if both teams execute their respective game plan 100%, I would expect MU to still win by a double digit margin.
I feel that the cocks 3pt D is going to be a bit of a problem.
First thing i would do is dump it in to Luke the first 3 trips down the court. Get him started and draw them off the arch. If he can hit one or two of 3 and maybe draw a foul, it's a good start. We need to get them to respect us inside early to open up the 3.
(Then again I'm no coach... but it's what I feel could benefit us)

I've actually heard from someone who knows Frank Martin well that he is a huge "teddy bear". That the persona on the court is just that, and that his attitude with the media is an act. He is hard on his players, but doesn't cross the line that it may appear he does from an outside watching, and that his players respect him. Not sure I buy it because the guy seems like an absolute blowhard di*k to me, but this guy has spent plenty of time with Frank.

Really, Crash? You're better than this.
It took Frank Martin 4 years to get South Carolina into the NIT and 5 to get them into the NCAA tourney. After three seasons at the school, he was 45-54 with a 15-39 conference record; folks were rippin' on Wojo for only going 8-10 last season.
In 10 seasons of D1 coaching, only once has he led a team past the first weekend of the tournament.
At Marquette, this would be deemed failure by many here on Scoop - including you, methinks.
Now, throw in his obvious "issues," which led to him being banned in Florida, chased out of K-State and suspended by S. Carolina ... and again, I'm thinking that the Marquette populace would not be overjoyed with one Francisco Jose Martin.
