Probably should have put Frank in the title.

I thought Tyrese Martin was offered by Umass, as a transfer lol

Isn't this like UMass's third hire already?

That umass guy blaudschun is a joke. First tweets about umass “closing in on kimani young” then literally wrote in his article (that probably no one read other than me) that he was “not wrong” just bad timing. He also spit out like 10 different names, including 2-3 that umass was 99% gonna hire (but didn’t for one excuse or another). Also, he needs to learn grammar, one sentence doesn’t make a paragraph. I really hope being a sports reporter isn’t his main job…

Martin agreed to terms according to Masslive.com. Matt Vautour reported it and he is reliable. Ok we can put the UMass coaching thread to bed!

[Hey Adrien!]

Wow, impressive hire for UMass.

Martin's Final Four squad at South Carolina was a lot of fun to watch: Thornwell and Dozier were a heck of a duo.

Brings a lot of stability and class to Amherst.

Honestly, if Martin can turn things around at UMass and make them a consistent top-100 team, I wouldn't mind seeing them on the schedule again. Could be a fun rivalry.

It would be fun from day 1, due to the "excitable" nature of both coaches. Martin makes Dan Hurley look like a rational human, at times.

Not until the first press conference is over!

Frank Martin looks weird bald. Grow the hair back, man.

In seriousness, UMass needed either: A) a big name hire, B) a young up and coming stud.

They definitely got A.

The baldness is covid related, not sure if he can grow it back or not.

Interesting, didn't know that.

Great hire, Martin has some familiarity with the state of Mass, used to work for Northeastern and recruited JJ Barea.
