What is Cuonzo building?

[SlyStone]

The Memphis team may have beaten UT twice, but the progress and effort Coach Martin got out of his squad far exceeded what Coach Pastner got from his team.

CM has a different plan. He'll be inviting VN for a barbecue.

Kidding aside, CM is building a competitive program for the future. He accomplished a lot with a thin roster and got the players to buy in. Next year will be even better.

Something Bruce never could, so chill, sit back and enjoy the ride.

He's his own man and he won't answer to anyone. He'll do what he thinks is best for him and leave all else behind.

Just my opinion, I'd stay at Tennessee but with him being a B1G guy, if he's offered it's going to be hard for him to say no

Also, he did not deny the rumors. He put nothing to rest with his statement.

I have faith in this man. I really think he can get us to that level through a great work ethic and not necessarily 5* talent, though having Jarnell will certainly help

You're Dreaming. We are exactly right where bigdaddy has us. You would lose that bet on Belmont's schedule also, cause we would have had twice as many bad loses playing their non conference schedule before Stoke's got here. You can't put us in front of Vandy after going to the NCAA and winning a game with our 1 game win in the NIT.

I get what you're saying but finishing ahead of them in the SEC says something as well.

Who's Stoke and what's he got here?

I think the jury is still out on what Martin is building. The quality of his recruits play will dictate most of what happens here; or certainly a large percentage. We need to see the next couple of years recruits playing before we will know whether this coach is an improvement from what we had before.

I understand what you're saying, but I think you're comparing two different things. IMO, every coach is "building a NC contender." That should be the goal of every coach that steps on a court, UT or elsewhere. Where that differs from what you said in the second part of your comment is, judging the success of what he's building. You can't judge success of the coach just based on what his goals are is my point, which is why it differs from your first sentence.

Confused? Me too.
