Martin has put his name in for a couple jobs this cycle already. He’s pretty upset at the lack of investment made by SC post final four run Quote Link to comment

Candidates: Oats (Buffalo) Musselman (Nevada) Jankovic (SMU) Martin (South Carolina) Altman (Oregon) Oats only has 3 years hc experience. Not sure he is proven just yet? Altman is going to be 60 years old and Jankovich 59 when next season starts. How many years do they have left? Would like to have a coach that wants to be here for 15+ years. Musselman would use NU as stepping stone to bigger program or return to NBA. And he might be doing that at Nevada. He would be a short term coach in my opinion. Martin would be a great hire. Hated him at K-St. and there was talk that he was not on the up and up while there. Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Not directly related to NU, but Miles coaching tree. Craig Smith leaves USD to go to Utah State. Interesting 2 Quote Link to comment

Martin is probably waiting for the Miami job Oats, no idea at all Musselman would be a great hire but I don't see why he would leave UNR now Jank is interesting and has midwest ties Quote Link to comment

But a lot of times these coaches get out while the getting out is good. I mean he probably got a longer deal and more cash...might as well take that lotto ticket when you can. Quote Link to comment

They play an exciting brand of basketball. i'd be supportive of this but I thought I read an article on him that stated he wanted to stay in the Phoenix area (wife's family maybe?)

He was making $275k per year at USD, and there isn't any news of what he's going to get paid at USU, but his predecessor there was making around $375k, so a pretty nice bump in pay for sure. But it is most definitely a step up in prestige - in the Mountain West he'll be going up against the likes of UNLV, New Mexico, Nevada, Boise, Colorado State - and potentially Gonzaga in league play next year. That's a significant increase in schedule strength over what he was facing week in and week out in the Summit League. Plus, USU will be on national TV much more frequently than USD was. ...and the fan environment when it's rolling in Logan is among the best in the country: 2 Quote Link to comment

Altman would be hilarious, and is not-so-secretly what I am hoping for. Quote Link to comment
