COLUMBIA, S.C. — The most volatile offseason for SEC basketball in recent memory continued Monday afternoon when CBS Sports basketball insider Jon Rothstein reported South Carolina was firing head coach Frank Martin. The news was confirmed by the university.
That means there are openings in both Columbia and Gainesville, while Baton Rouge is likely in play with Will Wade’s dismissal after the school received an official notice of allegations from the NCAA.
Former Gamecock guard Carey Rich is well-connected in the basketball circles and gave his assessment of the decision to part ways with Martin. “The Captain” also opined about what’s next for Martin and his former program, the recruiting of Ridge View’s GG Jackson and his best Frank Martin story from years gone by.
