coaches want more time on their contract to show recruits they are on solid footing.

he had three years to build a foundation on solid footing. Shouldn't require a long extension of a contract to "show recruits" anything.

I agree. All I was saying was that was a message sent to him by Hart.

Martin left because he could. Both parties should be better off with this move.

Simple, the perception is out there that Cuonzo was never accepted because he was black. If you listen to the sports talk shows on the radio, the callers who were African American complained that it wasn't his coaching that was unpopular, it was his race.

The majority of the D-1 prospects are black. Other coaches are going to go into their living rooms and say, "Do you really want to go there?"

True or not, perception is reality for a lot of people.

How is it classless to state the truth? Look at the players' tweets. Listen to African Americans who have called 99.1 over the past 3-4 months.

I didn't say that race was the reason most wanted rid of him. I just said that is how a certain segment of the population views it.

Heck, certain people still say that people only criticize Obama because he's black.

The race card is going to get played as long as it can be used to someone's advantage.

Seems pretty simple to me.

Hart offered $1.8 and a 2 year extension, would've made him the 8-9 highest paid conference coach. Was also gonna drop the buyout to $1m, so in theory if fired after next year he would've gotten about the same if fired this past season.

When you look at it that way I would say it became crystal clear to Martin that hart wasn't ever going to treat him like THE GUY. Martin made a smart move, I guarantee you that the AD at call will showier commitment and appreciation to him.

Its crazy to think that all of this had been going on behind the scenes and hardly anyone knew about it. I wouldn't be surprised if Cal offered him more money and a longer extension that UT didn't or couldn't match. The details of how this all came about will be interesting to say the least.

Congrats to Cuonzo. He'll do good at Cal.
