Frank, you're right about Hilton and Cyclone fans.....

[Cyclonestate78]

No he didn't unless you just want to take every comment that everyone makes in regards to ISU or a game against ISU and turn it into something negative about ISU. Besides that the officiating was awful in general. On their last possession, that was a foul.

It wasn't a foul because the officials were not calling those on either end all night. A good coach would notice the way the officials are calling the game and he would instruct his team and adjust their gameplan accordingly. It was a weak effort by the K-State player. Had he collected himself and taken the ball to the basket with some authority he may have gotten a call but in a scramble situation the guy simple just threw the ball at the basket looking to get a call and the refs weren't going to call that.... at least they weren't calling those last night.

Frank stated that his player not getting that call was bogus because the refs were treating his guy like some kind of "inferior" player. Really Frank? Now you are expecting to get all of the calls because your players are superior to everyone else? Get real.

Frank also stated that his team would have been celebrating a win had their been a different officiating crew in Ames last night. Frank attributes the ISU win solely to poor officiating that screwed his team out of a win. Classy?

Frank is not a d-bag by any means. He was the first guy to welcome Fred in at Big 12 coaches meetings. He's always been gracious when talking about ISU. He's a class act in radio interviews. He even signed an autograph walking off the court after a loss last night. Oh and he gave Royce a congratulatory hug.

100%

(ps the officiating did F them over at the end, who cares what he says about it, the game is over)

No, not so much. The officiating, on the whole, probably leaned more towards them than anything.

I would say if the refs called foul on both sides equally and appropriately, we still win this game.

[packthejack23]

I actually like Frank. Gives respect where respect is due

[Cyclonepride]

I actually like the guy. He's definitely intense, but if you watch or listen to interviews, he has a personality to him, and is a class act.

[Palmer]

He is great to watch during a game.....never know when he will go "Tony Montana"

Yep.

Quit bad mouthing a guy you clearly know nothing about. If you knew anything about Frank Martin than you would know that he is one of the most respectful coaches in all of college basketball. He was upset after the game, but still had great things to say about ISU's fans, players, and coaches. He wasn't happy with the officiating. Most coaches are too scared to say anything bad about the officiating when we all know there are plenty of cases where you know they would like too.

[Cydkar]

Frank is awesome. End of discussion.

[wartknight]

Always been a big Frank Martin fan. Teams always seem very disciplined and play very hard and physical.

[A-town Cy]

Frank is great for our conference, watching him go up against Huggins twice a year from here on out will be awesome basketball.

[Tedcyclone]

would be better if he didn't have to cheat

Why do people always say this? How has he cheated or are we just assuming?

Also why do some makes statements regarding Kstates academics being worse than ours, and thats why they get the football players they do? I havnt found anything showing that kstates college enterance requirements are lower thans ISUs.

I think it refers to his time as an AAU coach before he was an assistant at K-State. I'm not sure if anything stuck or if it was all rumors.

I was a huge hater of Frank when he was hired. I thought he'd fail big time after they lost Beasley. Obviously, I was way wrong and I now think he is a fantastic coach and a class act. I'm not sure if I'd want him as ISU's coach, but he is great for the conference.

[Knownothing]

I hated Martin his first few years. Now I really like him as a coach. He is kind of a newer version of Norm Stewart. Except I hated Norm Stewart because he had a face I wanted to punch. That whole nose mouth thing. Kind of like Lon Kruger.
