one national championship and some final fours.

has ut ever been to a final four?

Hey, add THAT old reference to the list of teams that had to go through WSU to win a National Championship. Coach McGuire's final loss in fact, if memory serves me correctly.

It simple the FANS - they have treated him like crap since he was hired with their unrealistic expectations, their irrational love for Pearl, and have been very critical of him during his short term and never given him his honeymoon. They were starting a petition to bring back Pearl and calling for Martin to be fired - You’re not Bruce Pearl!

Yeah, and guess what? The NEXT guy isn't going to be Bruce Pearl either, and NOW BP's going to be just a short conference school away as well. Probably not a "perfect" situation.

In other words, he was not going to be offered the opportunity at Marquette.

*******'s tweet was opinion, not news. He didn't say anything similar to "my sources say Tennessee will be interested in speaking with Gregg Marshall." Had he done so, you give him the benefit of the doubt.

If someone asks him his opinion and his opinion is that they'll go after Marshall, there's no reason to simply assume his opinion is based on sources.

Fair enough.

Thanks for the intelligent response. Those are rare around here.

I don't think I've heard anyone try to take UNC out of the blue-blood conversation before, or compare them to UCLA.

UNC is a much better job, and a far, far bigger draw to someone from that area. UNC also doesn't have the insane arrogance of UCLA, where they will fire a coach for only making the Final Four.

Agree. UCLA, Duke, UK, KU, and NC will always be be blue blood, no matter how much they might suck. in a given year or under a given coach.

However, NC was not particularly kind to Gutheridge or Dougherty, and they were part of the family... But you are right about UCLA and Howland.

wants some theater for next season at Koch Arena is if Tulsa hired Doug Gottlieb

Doug Gottlieb: Age 38. The former Oklahoma State point guard was an ESPN Radio host, did ESPN college basketball analysis and now does studio and game work for CBS. He has no coaching experience, but two years ago he expressed interest in becoming Kansas State’s head coach. It is believed that Gottlieb inquired about the TU job two years ago, and he might be intrigued again.

Oh please let it be so. We would clown that fool, year in, year out.

And as a coach, there is not a whole lot he could do about it!

Can you imagine his game prep regarding Van Vleet?

Assistant coach: "You've got to keep Van Vleet in front of you so he can't get to the basket. He'll tear us apart if you don't. But don't give him too much room or he'll shoot us right out of the game!"
Gottlieb: "What? No. He's a decent mid-major point guard, but that's all. Don't worry about him. Those All-America awards were bogus. Worry about that Scott City, Iowa kid."

The fact that he tried to get his first head coaching job at KSU just shows what kind of ego this guy carries. I seriously doubt he gets a sniff at Tulsa if Manning left but I would love it if he did. The idea of watching him fall flat on his face "at this level" is irresistible.

[wsushox1]

We would spank him like the rented spoiled brat he is.

[ShockerGorilla]

Marshall better watch his wallet when they shake hands.
