Coach Frank Martin

[Juice Stand]

What positions do K'jei Parker and Donovan Brown play? Both are listed as guards on their former team sites, doesn't specify PG or SG. We may need to find an experienced true point guard if their games are more suited to the 2 spot. Danny Carbuccia sounds like a promising PG recruit, but we need to have some experience and depth at that position.

Indeed Juice. Injuries do happen as well

I think Parker is a PG, but I'm not positive. He had over 4 assists per game last year. Curry was at 3.9, but he would have been higher if we had anyone who could shoot.

Do any of you know if coach does a basketball camp at UMass for kids? I see that coach LeFlar does one. It is sold out. DK did one years ago and my son loved it. I have nephew who was interested and I couldn’t find any info.

He's gotta ignore these jokers with the low follower counts. They don't matter.

A little off topic, but a lengthy article by Dean Wendel on Frank's upbringing in Miami and his path forward. It probably won't change anyone's opinion of Frank, but it's a good read.

This article certainly filled in a lot of blanks for me, adding nuances to the "facts" in Frank's bio.

A little off topic

Took the liberty of moving your post to what I think is a better thread.

All well and good, but changes nothing. Frank Martin is not getting it done. Very little to show for the $$$ he receives.

[Juice Stand]

Great work by Dean Wendel on that piece. I appreciate Frank Martin the man, but like Roadtrip, I need more from Frank Martin the coach.

[69MG]

^ I think most of us agree that we need more. That's why I added in my post that while this is a very good article, it wasn't going to change anyone's thoughts on Frank.

True enough! As Juice Stand said “need more from Frank Martin the coach”

[Roadtrip]

The thing is, there is zero indication of where this, "more as a coach" is going to come. Frank seems like a happy burnout, going through the motions, and cashing his checks.
