Thanks for posting this list. Using it as a reference, CCM should definitely be paid more than the Anthony Grant's of the world.
 
This team, lost to UTEP, NC st, A&m twice, vandy, 26 point lose to Florida where they scored a blistering 41 points. So what's your point about that team?

That they both have their flaws, lost to teams they shouldn't have, but played great when it mattered.

Is it that hard to decipher?
 
I just want to be clear, basically the first three years of regular season basketball don't count? We can't hold Martin accountable for 3 years of average and sometimes really bad basketball?

He's changing the debate because he's been busted. First it was he wasn't impressed with anyone Martin beat, now it's "6 straight appearances".

My lord the stupid.

I want to be clear, you're changing the debate because you got busted.

So now averaging 21 wins/yr is average. And NCAA tournament opponents are mediocre. I love your word play.

Busted? You all brought up Pearl not me, I am talking about Martin. I get it these 3 wins completely change your alls opinion of Martin, they don't change my mind he is still what I always thought he was.

Anderson and Grant are overpaid. CCM should get in the $1.6-2.0 range. Hart shouldn't get carried away with one NCAA tourney although as icing on top of the Conzo cake the run should be enough to validate an extension/raise. He should evaluate CCM's entire body of work and make a fair market offer.
 
Not sure how I feel about this. When we hired him, we didn't say "we will pay you this much to play mediocre basketball, but increase it if you don't suck". He took that deal and set out to win games. Which was what we hired him for. Now if someone makes him a better offer, we can talk about increasing his bank account. But I don't like this notion that we are paying a guy seven figures to just do enough to not get fired.



Let's not be cheap and unappreciative of him because there are about 129 other universities that could show an interest in him.

I'm just saying!!!!!
 
I call it underachievement. Sure you do

Lol...ok. You'll notice I haven't mentioned Pearl or Martin by name in this debate. I'm simply arguing the numbers and libelous adjectives you use to irresponsibly represent this team and their opponents.

No agenda.
