I think that all of these comments about Mark Martin are a load of crap! He IS a great coach and a great man in my opinion. He is the kind of coach that demands discipline, and if you don't have any he will do without you. That is his style and all the players need to get on board. I had the privilege of playing for coach Martin in Jr. High and back then I thought he was a little rough on us. But as time went by and that team he coached went on to win a region championship I saw what all of his hard work and his style did for our team. I give him a lot of the credit for that team winning the way we did. he taught us to played disciplined, fundamental, team basketball with an emphasis on TEAM! If you have a kid with a bad attitude them Coach Martin will not tolerate it and you need to look in the mirror for answers instead of blaming coaches when your kid doesn't play enough, or gets kicked off the team, or quits. I say leave him alone and let him coach. Coach Martin, I DO APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU TAUGHT ME ABOUT BASKETBALL AND THE GAME OF LIFE. MY WORK ETHIC IN HIGH SCHOOL, COLLEGE, AND NOW ARE A DIRECT EFFECT OF YOUR COACHING, THANKS.
