Frank Martin Was 'on A Mission' To Lead Gamecocks Back To Relevance

... guys stood tall every single day. And that's why I'm not surprised that we played the way we did in the second half.”. Seniors Sindarius Thornwell, Duane Notice and Mc Kie combined to score 45 points Sunday, and the Gamecocks overwhelmed the Blue Devils with a final 20 minutes in which they shot 71 percent from the field and scored 65 points — more than they managed in 10 full games earlier this season. That after a first half in which USC made just two of its last 22 shot attempts, and trailed by as many as 10. “We were very positive,” Martin said. “You can't have these kids that have been through what they've been through for four years to build this program, and go in at halftime and doubt in who they are.”. In the second half, as South Carolina held Duke without a field goal for over five minutes, the Gamecocks looked like the team that had been there before. “They kind of ...

Will Muschamp's Happy For Frank Martin, South Carolina Basketball Team

... on Saturday, congratulating men’s basketball coach Frank Martin, along with the women’s squad and baseball team, both of which also won on Friday. “Really happy for Frank,” Muschamp said. “Certainly, in my opinion, it’s expected, as far as where they are with their program. Extremely, extremely happy for him. “I think the world of the guy and the job he does and what he represents and how he represents the University of South Carolina. I’m certainly pulling for him on Sunday (vs. Duke).”. Muschamp then took a friendly jab at Martin, who also has freshman tight end Evan Hinson on his roster. “Hinson, I’m going to continue to recruit for Frank. I coached him for those first two shots in the SEC Tournament against Alabama,” Muschamp said. “Frank coached him on the air ball.”. Hinson isn’t the only player on Martin’s team who Muschamp said could play football. “There’s no doubt,” Muschamp said, when asked if shooting guard ...

The Players' Tribune

... emotional just because of what they did on the floor that day. That game was just a small reflection of all the other great things these guys have accomplished this season and throughout their time at South Carolina. We set a school record for community service hours. We all know we don’t get judged on things like that, but you better believe it played a role in what you saw happen on Sunday. Because it showed these kids weren’t just committed to becoming a winning team, they wanted to become winning people. As a coach, as a mentor, what more can you ask for. As I walked over to shake Coach K’s hand, I felt chills go up and down my body. It really hit me all at once that we were advancing to the Sweet Sixteen for the first time in school history. When we met at half court, the winningest coach in college basketball history told me something that I know I’m never going to forget: “Frank, you’ve got a great team. You’re building something special here.”. And ...

Sportswriters Whine About Kid Reporter Asking Legitimate Question At Press Conference

... them the technique. It all starts with our mindset. We have got guys that are completely bought into what we do. In a press conference with its fair share of “talk about.” bullshit non-questions, this was easily one of the better queries. Some journalists clearly didn’t think so. Both have since tried to backtrack—Dodd by completely reversing course and South Carolina beat reporter Caraviello by claiming that he was actually talking about an SI Kids question from a different game. (Bonnstetter did ask a separate question in the later game’s press conference—a game Caraviello did not appear to write about or be on deadline for—but it’s not a particularly great look regardless.). There is, first, the fact that Bonnstetter’s question was completely reasonable and one worth asking. There’s the fact that it’s ridiculous to take offense at giving less than one minute of presser time to a kid who’s clearly interested and engaged in sports reporting. And, finally, ...

South Carolina Hc Frank Martin Says Confederate Flag Protest Is 'unfortunate

... 'Unfortunate'. Rainier Ehrhardt/Associated Press. Adam Wells Featured Columnist March 20, 2017. South Carolina head basketball coach Frank Martin made a statement about a group of protesters who placed a Confederate flag on a parking garage next to the Bon Secours Wellness Arena, which was hosting the 2017 NCAA tournament this weekend. Following South Carolina's 88-81 victory Sunday over Duke on Sunday, Martin discussed the flag in his postgame press conference. It's unfortunate, but it's America. You think we all agree on everything? Our state is united. Our state believes in peace and harmony. That's why this event is being held in our state right now. Our state is progressive. Our state has incredible people that's about moving forward. But it's America. We have freedoms. People have freedoms to do whatever they want to do with themselves and their property. It is what it is. There are things out there that I don't like. But I can't force people to do what I want them to do. All I know is this unbelievable university and state has taken in a son of Cuban immigrants that's married to a Jamaican woman, has mixed kids, and ...

(File/Al Diaz/Miami Herald). Krop High basketball coach Shakey Rodriguez. (File/Walter Michot/Miami Herald). Finally it got to the point where 19-year-old assistant coach Francisco Jose Martin’s ear-splitting motivational tactics were so effective he was put in charge of the junior varsity basketball team. That was the day the JV head coach at Miami Senior High School called in sick. The poor guy never got his job back. A career was born for a coach now better known as Frank Martin , architect of South Carolina’s Sunday night NCAA Tournament upset of Duke and Sweet 16 date with Baylor on Friday night in New York. “Frank was so good right away,” former Miami Senior varsity head coach Marcos “Shakey” Rodriguez said from South Florida. “I said, ‘Just keep doing it.’”. So good that Rodriguez and varsity ...
