Turgeon exits

[Oriole4Life]

It's  a joke of a season.  As I predicted early on, their lack of depth is apparent, there is literally no one off the bench that can make a difference with the possible exception of Reese, and his game is still raw (he really lacks touch and strength near the rim).  Martinez has provided close to nothing, he has had a few flashes but his game is lacking big time.  All 5 starters lack chemistry and overall offensive movement.  It's like they go into every offensive possession with no idea what play to run or who will shoot.  A lot of isolation drives with horrible forced shots.  Definitely difficult to watch.  I am a Georgetown fan as  well and Wahab has regressed.  Horrible foot work and lack of conditioning.  Ayala is a shell of his former self and is not suited to be a #1 scorer.    

I'd say it is a combination of bad coaching and lack of talent.  Unless they bring in a great coach, Maryland could be approaching some dark days of being completely uncompetitive.  Will make Turgeon seem like John Wooden.  They need someone who is great at recruiting, motivation, game planning, in game adjustments, everything.  The incoming recruiting class is weak as hell (only one signee so far).  Gonna need Reese and Cornish to develop big time.

I don't think the Athletic dept. at Maryland has any idea what a good coach is unfortunately.

Frank Martin just got fired at South Carolina. As an SC alum, I am disappointed. Frank is a great coach and I hope Maryland takes a look at him. I think Maryland is a great fit. It's a better program than he's used to and great recruting area. Even mid-tier recruits MD can get are better than he's used to.

 

Frank is a great in-game coach and defensive mind. He'd bring energy. He is a bit of a hot-head but he's cooled off. He's actually a really nice guy I met him a few times. He's very passionate and cares about his guys if they care to put in effort. He gets emotional talking about past guys he loved coaching. I'd love to see him at Maryland.

 

I think he's a top 10/20 coach in the nation, in all honesty. Just has never gotten into a good situation. And he's done fairly well, albeit sporadically, in Manhattan, Kansas and SC.
