    I still can't wrap my head out of Frank Martin leaving KSU for USC.

    W. T. F. Gents?

    Does not make sense. KSU was on the USC level when he took over, but he turned that program in the right direction. The SEC is not a better conference.

    On top of that, why USC? The Illinois gig is still hanging out there, and is a much much better gig, with a much bigger paycheck - and my god would they have loved to win the press conference with a hire of a known name like that, hired away from a big conference program.

    I do not understand it, and it bothers the shit outta me.

    No one wants the Illinois job, especially with how they treated Weber. Coaches don't ignore stuff like that.

    That might be true. Illinois - who knows WTF is going on there.

    But WTF is going on with Frank goddamn Martin?

    He had max'd out at Kansas St. Easier to win in the SEC than the Big 12.

    I see sanctions on the Kansas State horizon. I mean why else would you leave. He prob. wanted to get out before it got bad and K State is making a million dollars off the ordeal.

    he didnt get along with a.d. john currie. the last straw was when he suspended jamar samuels for their game vs syracuse. martin was furious over this and immediately planned his departure.

    Probably hard to recruit players for K-state look what he had to work with this year. And yes AD was a pain.

    didnt like the ad, gets over a 500k pay increase and is closer to south florida where he has big time recruiting ties. i think its a good move actually, sec is a worse basketball conference then the big 12 most years.

    Wow.. hard to argue with this one... but i know a guy like Martin doesn't make a decision based on emotion... but that was absolutely ridiculous. And i am still wondering who follows these kids into a mini mart and watches them make ** collections
