He wasn't their guy, though. Or, he wasn't the guy that the brass at Marquette were, ultimately, primarily considering.

Sorry Unimane, but I believe LWS over you. Rob Lewis was on the local news in Knoxville yesterday, and he also said CCM turned down the Marquette job.

Believe what you want, but I'll trust my high school friend of 30 years who has been a college assistant in Wisconsin for over 10 years and recruits Milwaukee regularly, plus knows a myriad of Marquette people. He wasn't the guy.

He was the guy, that's 110% fact, like I said already, if he wanted the job it was his.

Majority of boosters wanted him (once they realized that Howland was gonna be signed off on), and the acting AD wanted him, he's wanted Zo since he was an assistant at Purdue.

:hi:

100% inaccurate, especially on the AD part. You haven't the faintest idea what was happening up there do you?

If Unimane didn't have a history of being completely anti-Zo his agenda wouldn't be so obvious, however it's hard to take him seriously on this topic.

my sources tell me that today is Wednesday. That beer is delicious. It is april 2nd. I enjoy a good steak. My apartment does not smell of rich mahogany. I have zero leather bound books. ALL of these are true. Therefore my e-cred is the most superior in this thread. Victory!

Obviously a lot more than you do, it's ok though, we all understand how hard it is for you to accept that a better job than Tennessee wanted Zo.

Interesting.

I 'm guessing this works both ways...if you can't take the "anti-Zo's" seriously on this topic, then you certainly can't take the "pro-Zo's" seriously either, right?

It has nothing to do with any of your nonsense about me not wanting Martin as coach affecting my judgment and me just making up stuff. You just don't know what was happening up there. I grew up playing basketball in Wisconsin and have my only insider info coming from that state. If Martin was pursued by South Florida, then I've got nothing. This was just in my wheel house and I know for a fact that your understanding of the situation is incorrect.

Good grief this is just a he said she said match. No one will ever truly know unless the Marquette AD comes and says it otherwise. And besides the point, who cares? He didn't go to Marquette and he is the coach for the University of Tennessee

I thought I was calling calling for Zo's head, now I'm back to being a Martinite?

I wish y'all could come to a consensus and make up your mind.

Look, all media outlets taking a stance are saying it was his if he wanted it, I'll link them is you'd like...I've yet to see one say he wasn't their guy and they passed on him, so sorry if I'm a bit skeptical of Unimane's stance.

And going of who I know that was involved, I know your friend is either FOS or you are, take your pick.

I'm sorry BTO...I missed the part of my post where I referred to you specifically? I asked a general question concerning those that are "pro-Zo" and those that are "anti-Zo."

As others have said...no one will ever know what transpired (other than Zo and the powers that be at Marq). So, unless you are Zo or are in the AD at Marquette, your guess is, at best, second hand info...just like Unimane's.

No, and, a point of clarification on a mistaken point I made earlier. The interim AD was in on Martin, but he wasn't supported by much of anyone else and the people who pull the strings didn't even consider Martin to make him an "offer".

Oh so you admit the info I had which you called wrong turned out to be accurate....maybe you should listen to rest of what I'm saying too as I've apparently already enlightened you on one aspect of that situation.

No, actually, I called my friend again and I missed him saying the interim AD wanted him, but had no pull in the situation. You keep trying to "enlighten" me on the primary element that didn't even happen, i.e. Martin getting offered (wink, wink, we'll deny this in the media - which didn't happen, either).

Like I said, either you or your "friend" is FOS. I told you what happened and you tried to deny only to find out you were wrong, supposedly.

Believe what you want, but Marquette thought he was theirs and had already informed some media.

If your story if true and nobody wanted Martin, then surely Hart won't see a reason to give him a raise. Let's see what happens...

The raise won't have anything to do with the Marquette. Give me a break. Hell, he got one last year for doing absolutely nothing of consequence.

And, no, I clarified the idea that I knew you were full of crap when you identified the interim AD's support as evidence of Martin being offered the job. It's false, just like your statement that he was at the top of their list. You don't know anything about Marquette, nor knew how much dissection in the ranks there was and who actually had the pull to make the call on the call.

He got a $50k raise last year, that's nothing except a thanks now STFU. Add a 0 to that number and that's probably what he's gonna get his salary raised to, Hart wouldn't do that simply out of the kindness of his heart :hi:

No, he'd do it for a Sweet 16 appearance. Pearl got an increase of $300,000 in 2008 for the same. Hell, so did Fulmer for getting to the SEC title game and he got fired the next year. Getting a raise won't signify anything beyond this for Martin.

Paying a coach with top 4 SEC results bottom 2 SEC money is a good way to lose the coach. I'm not sure why this is a hard concept to grasp.

So, we're to believe your high school friend of 30 years who is a college asst in Wisconsin over Andy Katz and Gary Parrish? Really?
