Frank was just interviewed at the football game. Mentioned they are dealing with a bunch of injuries. Don’t like to hear that.

I'm not surprised by that. He coaches some of the most physical bball in the country, so it'll take some time for guys to get used to it. We still have a few weeks before tipoff. Not concerned at this point.

Professor Martin tonight at Isenberg:

"Stopped by Marketing 301 tonight to pump up our students for Mullins Madness! Thank you Matthew Glennon for having us.

See you all Thursday" 😎
"Jack didn’t have any envy in him," Calipari said. "He was the greatest coach to ever coach here."

Goodman interview with Frank. Some basketball, some family, life in general and then back to BB. Interesting comments at the end about Noah, TJ, RJ and Gapare. It's a joy listening to someone so down to earth and open vs the BS we heard for the last 5 years.

agree with the above; my question is how do we keep him as our head coach once the team is as successful as we want? :?
All due respect, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I'm gonna pass.

I have a feeling this is Frank’s last stop. If he can win, recruit his type of players and rebuild the fan base passed the loyalists on this board he will be compensated comfortably. After SC I think he is looking for and will to provide loyalty with those who support him and his mission.

Fantastic interview. Love it at the end when he said basically RJ and Tafara are pros. I think we haven't seen at all what Tafara can be.. Goodman mentioned watching him shoot around and seemed very impressed and you can tell Frank is like "holy shit" when speaking about his talent and what he sees in practice.

In a word, "ANYA". While I'm half joking, she has received a very warm welcome at UMass and I'm hoping that helps. If we're lucky, Frank decides he likes coaching at this level (A10) and he sees a path to be successful here for a long time.
