Because Martin was exactly what the Norm Stans THOUGHT they were getting in Anderson. And the ceiling was still mediocrity. They got two bites at the apple. They had two chances to re-build the Norm years. One of them they could've passed off as simply being blinded by program loyalty. "Well it didn't work THIS time, but it still will!". The second one, however, got them exactly what Norm Ball will give you in modern college basketball. So now we never have to listen to them again. We've finally closed the book on that era, IMO. |

Wife and I were out eating one night, that tall asshole came in, sat down across the aisle from us. All night old gray haired ****s were coming up congratulating him after that game. You would have thought we made it to the E8 or farther the way they were cradling the balls as they worked his shaft. One asshole turned around and asked wife and I if we happened to be excited after that win. Wife made me leave after I told them it was as exciting as a positive AIDS test |

They also refused to acknowledge that Norm's recruiting went into the toilet as soon as he put Kim Anderson in charge of it. The last act of Norm Stewart's career is like he experienced the season we see Pete Bell having at the start of Blue Chips, and he just decided to go along with it. |
