A day after seeing his Tennessee team pounded 65-47 at Vanderbilt, Cuonzo Martin spoke to a Knoxville booster club on Wednesday. Asked for a bright spot from the previous night’s whooping, Martin delivered:
“When the bus starting rolling out of there. That was the bright spot.”
For now, Martin is trying to build a program out of the spare parts left behind by a coach who brought the NCAA down on his own head. But Martin’s not complaining.
“One day,” he said, “this team will be the last team standing. I really feel that. I don’t say that jokingly, I don’t say it, like, ‘Oh, man, give him another year on his contract.’ I say it because I truly believe it.”
Of course, a lot of coaches truly believe that when they take over a new job.
