^Frank LOVES Easter. They're dyeing eggs and having a wicked Easter egg hunt on Sunday morning.

Man our staff here at @UMassMBB is special. The weekend is going to be a BIG one
The first thing that comes to mind is that 7 foot (+) kid who visited a little while back. The BIG part seems like something Frank would say when referencing him.

Kim Mulkey, the Frank Martin of WBB:

"Don't sit near my timeouts, that's what I tell people. Don't sit near my timeouts if you're going to be offended by intense - possibly - language, intense moments."

Don't embarrass Kim Mulkey like that comparing her to Frank Martin.

What did Travis Ford call it when people called him out for the same during time outs? Was it, "profane intensifiers"?

I think that the point here is that Frank is not alone in his approach.

There was a Zoom meeting with Frank at 7:00. Did anyone attend? If so, did we learn anything?

Wow, I had no idea..

From Jeff Goodman,
UMass’ Frank Martin has hired former Holy Cross head coach Brett Nelson as an assistant, per source.

Nelson played on Martin’s AAU team with Steve Blake and Udonis Haslem.

All of Martin’s assistants have played for him. Allen Edwards in high school, and Brian Steele at South Carolina.

ChatGPT rates Frank Martin as 23rd best coach since 2000. Just ahead of Scott Drew, who started with 4 losing seasons at Baylor and made post-season 14 of the 15 seasons since. Won at least 1 game in the NCAAT each of the last 4 years, including a National Championship. That's the guy behind Coach!

It wasn't long ago we'd all be talking about Cosby related to anything pudding... how times have changed.
