Does this make up for a disappointing season?

[iKrager]

Just want to hear from all the doubters. Does this change your view on Martin's coaching philosophy?

 

[PackersVols91]

I think the doubters are silent. I'll admit being critical at times, but I am so happy to see Coach Martin completely turn it around.

 

[drewtigeralum]

The goal of the season is to play well in March...so I fail to see how it is disappointing.

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

Absolutely. Anybody who says otherwise is either a troll or has completely unrealistic standards.

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

Not completely, but it helps.


College basketball is all about March. I can handle an underwhelming regular season if he produces these results often.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Absolutely. Anybody who says otherwise is either a troll or has completely unrealistic standards.

Agreed. And I wanted him gone.

 

[JonWard]

It is the season. So, yes.

 

[amazingGRACE]

I was definitely "critical" at times but never called for Martins job..don't see how he could have any doubters now. The players absolutely love him. That's what matters.

 

[McDman444]

I still don't think Martin is a good coach but I'm loving the tournament so far.

 

[utfan72408]

As a guy who said specifically that Martin needed to make the Sweet 16 to change my opinion, I'll respond to this.

I have tons of hope going forward and now truly believe that Martin could be the guy. He's growing into the job.

Congrats to coach and the team. I apologize for ever being part of the anti-Martin crowd.

 

[Freak]

I definitely take a Sweet 16 over a few more regular season wins, every time.

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

I still don't think Martin is a good coach but I'm loving the tournament so far.

So the team winning 3 tournament games by double digits has nothing to do with coaching but losing a game completely falls on the coach?

 

[utvolpj]

Basketball is all about the postseason. Sweet 16 run makes for a very good/great season. All gravy from here

I will break the doubter's silence since I was one.






Yes

 

[Cartervol]

Yeah

 

[Rocky-Top 10EC]

Sorry Cuonzo

 

[VolFanNC09]

We are in the sweet 16. Can't be a disappointing season.

We'll see how we look against Michigan.

We'll see how we look against Michigan.

Lol

 

[Volfan2012]

A lot of the problem was people dwelling in the past with the success of Coach Pearl. Now we see we have a coach that can get it done hopefully from here on forward he will have full support of a high percentage of fans.

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

We'll see how we look against Michigan.

Whatever you say bro

 

[Aesius]

Yes.

Unquestionably yes.

 

[SJAVol32]

Even Counzo supporters were disappointed with the season to a point. I myself thought we underachieved but to give up on this team was foolish from the start. We are playing terrific basketball and that's with our best scorer being relatively quiet.

 

[movinonup]

At one point in the season I was hoping Coach Martin would be gone.........
.....Now, I am afraid he will leave.
Always thought he was a great guy but a suspect coach - this week has make me KNOW he is a great guy and think he has potential to be a great coach.

How'd Pearl look in his game vs Michigan.
