Well considering Bill Self's first two years he was one-and-done with a perennial top 5-10 basketball power house I think Frank Martin has done pretty damn good for his first two years as a D1 head coach. Especially at a place that hadn't seen the tournament in over ten years. Self had been a head coach for ten years before he took the Kansas job. The rookie coach got his team with two pros on it to beat a National Championship team with at least 6 pros by 9 pts. Maybe he was just lucky? Burrito Bill Self is one of my favorite sports figures and I'd have a real hard time saying anything bad about the guy. Just saying in Frank's first season he went to the second round after beating the #6 seed in USC. The next year he had zero pros and made the NIT and finished 4th in the Big 12. Granted USC isn't a perennial buzz-saw juggernaut elite-team killer like Bradley or Bucknell, but............... |
