What has he done? Does he have potential?
The guy who ran off the coach that got a 7 seed to the final 4. That's what we have to look forward to.
To be clear it took Martin 5 years to get South Carolina to the final 4. It is not like he showed up at SC and they stared winning right away - because they did not. He was 15-39 in the conference in his first 3 years.

A little context here would be nice.
Martin took KState to the NCAA tourney his last 3 years there, 4 out of 5 years there overall. Never won less than 21 games and was one possession away from beating Kentucky for an Elite 8 appearance two years before Currie ran him off.
Additionally, when he got to SCar, that mecca of college basketball, they had just gone 39-53 the 3 previous collective seasons.
Moreover, he won 25 games there last season and was somehow left out of the NCAA tourney. He is now 52-18 the last 2 seasons at freaking South Carolina.
So yeah, our good buddy John Currie did indeed run off an outstanding basketball coach at KState.
Shhh.
The thought of our fanbase giving anyone 5 years before calling for their head is laughable. Imagine the outrage if it takes Barnes 5 years to get to the tournament.
