|  Rate this season
How would you guys rate this season? Lots of highs and lows, but I find it hard to say that it was a complete disappointment. Hopefully the flashes of brilliance we saw will turn into routine by next season. Can't wait to see what Martin does. As long as he doesn't underachieve, I think he will be a good coach for us in the immediate future.
GO VOLS!!!  |

| Martin's inability to motivate his team the last few minutes of a ball game to win the close ones is why next season will be no better than this past year. I have never seen a coach let his guys play their way out of a win by saving timeouts and not ripping into them when needed. | |

| I expected a null season following so many drastic changes throughout the program and administration. Finishing second in the SEC during the regular season was a great accomplishment. No reason for this team to hang their head. This season was more positive in nature than negative. Picked 11th, finish 2nd. Well done.
Get better next year. | |

| 8.
Very good year. A lot of positives to build on.
Everyone is going to overreact to this game however.

| All things considered, probably a 7. Not thrilled right now but very excited for the future. | |

Also, your reasoning is poor. Motivating at the end of games?

| We certainly exceeded expectations. Still no reason to ever lose a few of the games we did but I'll take a 2nd place finish in the SEC. Losing in the first round of the SEC Tournament was extremely disappointing.
