As for the Marquette job...I saw a tweet last night with the following information:
Marquette is purely a basketball school, thus all their revenue is from the men's basketball team (ie...less $$$)
Marquette shares facilities with the NBA Bucks (ie...worse facilities)
Marquette plays in the Big East, which is a shadow of it's former self (ie...less visibility and exposure, softer schedule)
I would credit the tweet, but I don't remember who it was...maybe Patrick Brown. Words in parens are my interpretation.
Buzz Williams just left VOLUNTARILY for Virginia Tech (though he might have been about to be fired, I don't know). Is VTI a step up from Marquette?
Additionally the Marquette AD is rumored to be a "circus" behind the scenes, one that might make even our situation look good by contrast.
Bottom line...Marquette isn't that great of a destination. Thus I can believe that Cuonzo just said "no thanks", especially if Hart told him he would get an extension or raise.
Who knows...but my guess is Martin just didn't want to go from the frying pan into the fire.
