Fascinating read. I didn't know things were so bad in Knoxville.
It's early on the West Coast, so early that fog -- or at least something that looks like fog -- is covering the Golden Gate Bridge, and yet California's players have already lifted weights and worked out, and now I'm sitting off to the side of the court at Haas Pavilion with their coach, who surprised the college basketball world back in April when he, seemingly out of nowhere, left Tennessee and moved three time zones left.
So here I am now, roughly three months later, 2,478 miles away from Thompson-Boling Arena, talking to Tennessee's former coach, and I ask if he noticed what I noticed -- that none of his former players seemed bothered when he left. I then remind Martin that not only were the players not sour, they were actually supportive.
