*And you may have noticed that we won, Notice had his best game ever as a Gamecock and at no time did Frank Martin need to scream at one of his players that he was a stupid MFing asshole AT NO TIME DID MARTIN CALL ANYONE STUPID, he called him a f'cking ahole and I don't know the issue while standing on the court in the Georgia Dome in front of the entire SEC during a major university sanctioned sporting event that was televised all over the country.

He was somehow able to coach them up, hold them accountable, get them to play hard, correct their mistakes and win the game all without embarrassing himself, team, family, players, University, etc.

I know the issue, I like Martin am concerned for the kids and that would be the only reason to worry about his latest actions!!! If you are worried about what others around the country think about Coach Martin unless it is a young man he is recruiting then no one gives a flying crap, for the record a who is who of basketball didn't think he embarrassed himself, team, family, players, University, etc. So you run a multi million dollar business not worrying about the folks whom you bring in for folks to pay money to see, genius! So tell me what the issue is so an idiot like me can understand all you adults.
So Martin gets suspended for his actions during a game for actions towards Notice and Notice follows it up with his 3 best games as a collegiate athlete, genius! So Coach Martin and his team win by 16 and he does not berate or yell

Yeah stop calling them names you might hurt some feelings, it is not like they will not be called worse in life! It teaches a kid to let what others say roll off there back, play without emotion, turn the other cheek, take criticism, tougher, words are words and if you let them get to you while you are younger they can hold you back your entire life! I do not disagree with the suspension or the folks who don't like the cursing at players but I do disagree with folks labeling Coach Martin and making this more than it is, some wealthy alumni who do not want kids/fans to hear these words while attending a game, noble!

So you are cool if your boss calls you a mfer?

I think this thread has run its course.

sounds like a lot of people were verbally abused and never realized it...and were comfortable with it. but if i knew i was going to work for someone who would call me names the way Coach Martin does to his players, I would seek other employment opportunities.

Oh that's right...the last time he was forced to publically apologize...waaayyy back about a month and a half ago...he actually only screamed that Brenton Williams was a '****ing Idiot!!!!' and not simply 'Stupid'. How could I have been so far off?

You didn't happen to actually graduate from the University of South Carolina did you?

good thing you didn't play sports for SC!!!
Did you ever play sports?!?!? Were you any good??? If not, don't comment on coach/player relationship threads.
Have you ever had someone challenge you in your business/industry? And if your business was being physical and overpowering your competition….would you want someone to pump you up? If you don't win…you don't eat! Frank's players love him. You can leave Fowl Shots.

While the PC people on here were applauding the suspension of Coach Martin, the players have been playing and winning for Coach Martin. If the players were really hurt by FM they would have just laid down and died in the first round game of the tourney, guess what they didn't they knew that FM was mistreated and were not going to quit on their coach.

Apparently they didn't get the memo that we need to hire someone who's more sensitive and caring toward our players feelings. :(

I feel very lucky to say I've had several great bosses in my life, my father and Mike Zinna were invaluable mentors and examples as well as bosses in my life. I learned more from them both of them than any classroom I had the pleasure to sit in, they both cared deeply for my well being but still made me start at the bottom and work my way to the top of their respective companies. I've spent countless hours in offices alone with them both estimating construction, negotiating schedules, budgets and salaries thinking my name was m'fer and counting the money all the way to the bank!

Williams did something idiotic, Martin let him know it so he would not do it again, but he is not stupid and Coach Martin did not say he nor Notice is or was!

Complete and total failure of a post in every imaginable way.

You basically implied that Ray Tanner's a loser who never played sports and doesn't know how to challenge people and whose players don't love him and couldn't pump up his players to overpower another team physically

Good God what a crock of catshit post

I just think we as fans need to shut the f**k up and let Frank do his job.

Time to shut this one down. It's over and done with. What needs to be said has been said.

Time to move on. We are in the middle of a tournament and just won 2 games no one thought we would.
