    I was never a big fan of how Zo seemed to be treated by the Tennessee fan base, but this seems a little harsh:

    I'm surprised, I had no idea of the relationship between Martin and he Vol Fans...the Vols certainly seemed to be on the rise in basketball. For some reason I don't see CAL Berkley as a great basketball job though, good not great.

    This puts San Francisco and Oakland in his backyard and he doesn't have to worry about grades the way Stanford does. How Cal isn't always strong is beyond me.

    Cal won the NCAA in 1959 with Darrel Imhoff. I know that's ancient history, but a lot of big time programs haven't won even once.

    Some people have resources, and some people know what to do with them. Every now and then, you get both. The most dangerous areas are those that already have the resources and are waiting for the right leader.
