this is the biggest nothing burger ever, Frank's working under an MOU and sometimes these deals do not get done until way later. I am sure the squabal is under how many times a year Frank must appear on a umasshoops.com live chat...

He obviously doesn't doesn't even consider how common a MOU is in college hoops. He just wants to create controversy where there is none.

He will be the first for the salary criticisms.

If anyone doesn't know, Chip has shown himself to be an ass for many years. Possibly a WMass cousin of our EMass red-headed stepchild.

The negativity in this town S##s! Jack Lehman ain't comin' through dat door. John Calipari ain't coming through dat door! BUT Frank Martin ... has come through that door! He's earned that level of salary! We got him, so boo hoo to Chip. :lol:

Seems like the column is less abut Frank Martin and more about the frustration of dealing with the bureaucracy to get public info.

LEAMAN…….is there a reason you consistently mis-spell Coach LEAMAN’s last name? Extremely disrespectful to have done so, numerous times! And I believe that it has been pointed out to you before this!

The guy is jealous as h&ll. He probably makes 75k a year or something like that. FM will make more in one year than Chip will make in his life. Ignore it, it's noise. Chip writes for a tiny little rag in Western Mass no one has ever heard of, not the NY Times or Wash Post, etc.

^ You are correct. His paper is very low on the newspaper circulation list. The Berkshire Eagle, another small town Western Mass paper which gives us good coverage, dwarfs them. The score is 16,057 to 7,815.
