Florida Pre-Game Presser (Coach Martin)

Assistant coach man, keep up. :) If memory serves, Cal hired him for his help with international recruiting. Think he went over and scouted Big Z and played a big part in him committing to us.
But we can play in the Maui Classic......

shot to get our priorities straight!! lol
 
Do you want him to?
Well I wouldn't watch/listen because I can never understand what he's saying, but it feels like he's offloaded quite a bit of his media responsibilities in the last couple of years.
 
Does Cal ever do any of these anymore?
This is classic Rafters.

All the haters screech in every thread about how "Cal never tells the truth", "Cal doesn't understand basketball", they are "so tired of hearing Cal and all his Calisms", they "would be happy if they didn't have to listen to him again"

They also give all credit when something good happens to Cal's assistants (Welch,Antigua, Ulis).

And then Cal lets the assistants talk and ......"DoEs CaL EvEr dO tHesE AnYmoRe"......it's satire at this point

Actually, other than saying that I don't understand what he's saying or maybe that he doesn't speak the whole truth, I really have no problem with how he talks to the fans. He can talk down to us, call us all idiots, backwards or just plain trash for all I care. It makes not one bit of difference to me.

That has nothing to do with why I don't like him. What I don't like is that the UK basketball program is not his #1 priority. He's told us that. I want a coach that puts UK first. Call me a hater for that if you want.

The question about him doing these press conferences anymore is just something that I've noticed. He's distanced himself from many of his media opportunities in recent years. Those are also part of prioritizing our program at the top.

I really enjoy listening to the assistants. Glad to see then get the opportunities. More in-depth answers and another insider look. Coach Martin was great in this interview. Smart. Represents UK well. Seems like he has class. I can see him being a good recruiter. X

Many more questions get asked. More insight. Keep it up
