Last year during the SEC Tournament i was right behind South Carolina's bench. Other than the Military I have never in my life heard anybody talk to other people the way that he did... it was very sad to see but also extremely funny at the same time

I heard Joe B. Hall call Melvin Turpin every word in the book during the SEC tournament at Rupp in 1983 (I think it was 83).

I believe it.

He was on shaky ground with a lot of people at K State for the way he treated players -- Gillispie sorts of things.

The guy can coach, but I think he will eventually wear out his welcome at USCjr as well.

man those south carolina kids are going to get after this game...kinda feel sorry for them
 
He has been treating players like that forever,probably wiped one of those boogers he was picking on him too.The only person I can think of that cursed players like Martin was Bob Huggins pre-heart attack.Martin cusses those guys like unwanted step-children,you can bet they'll catch hell this week
 
In his defense, we have all seen Cal call T. Jones a "Selfish Mother****er".

The only people who bitch about harsh language in coaching are those who didn't experience it themselves. There's nothing wrong with it.

To a point,but Frank Martin is real close to being abusive much of the time,although he appeared calm most of today's game compared to his past issues,I have no problem with cussing,but Martin is way above Verbal Abusive and I've seen him push and smack players when he was at K-State
 
Frank Martin is a good coach. and I never heard any of his players at K State bad mouth him. He cares for his players, but he is very intense. If their a wuss, he wouldn't recruit them. I think they know he cares about them.

OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!

I would punch Martin in the mouth if he knocked on my door to recruit me. Wouldn't even let him get a word out. Brash mother...... Can't stand a guy who thinks he is the baddest man on the planet. Would love to see Carrera bust his a$$!

I have seen him get in their face, but I never saw him put his hands on them. Sometimes, you need to get their attention. Several of us old military guys understand that. Basic training was tough, but it never hurt us. For a 18 or 19 year old kid, who had been coddled all their life, it made a man out of them.
It would not hurt every kid to spend some time in the military.

Calhoun was the worst. I sat behind him in Maui the year they won the NCAA beating us. He berated one kid so bad that he quit the team and transferred. He certainly had great command of every four letter word I have ever heard.

And you and Carrera would be off to jail, have your photo placed on Justmugshots.com, and Frank Martin would still be coaching with a high dollar contract.

Honestly, I wouldn't recruit you period for that comment. It shows your lack of maturity.

He is old school and will it will be interesting to see if top players want that kind of treatment, it will take a special kind of kid to play for him, he has the look of the devil.
 
This idiot shouldn't be a head coach. There is nothing about this guy that college basketball should be proud of. He is an angry guy that is allowed to get his rocks off by abusing kids under the guise of coaching.
 
Apparently after the game he said Cal was "on edge" before the game. Must have been in a really bad mood today.

I was there and it apparently didn't do much good as Turpin didn't block out Bobby Hurt for the game winning putback against Alabama.

You're right, Bobby Lee Hurt was too much for us all night. Bobby was giving us hell all night and it drove Joe B. nuts.
