As the Vols turn
Tennessee basketball coach Cuonzo Martin reacts in this 2014 file photo.Despite petitions and hot seats and talks of other jobs and former coaches, it appears now that the The Conz and the Vols will be together and should get some form of extension done rather quickly.
Unless you live under a rock here in the Volunteer State, you have at least been aware of the love-to-hate/hate-to-love relationship between Johnny Vols Fans, UT administration and The Conz, who appeared on the fast track out of the 865 until a torrid stretch down the stretch propelled the Vols within a 3-pointer from the Elite Eight. Good times.
So the Vols surged, the fans purged and Marquette seemed poised to urge The Conz out of the dysfunctional family dynamic.
Reportedly, Martin has decided to stay in Knoxville and has let it be know he has withdrawn from the Marquette job. Whether that was because Marquette was looking in another direction like Duke assistant Steve Wojoskdhfakjdghasdkjhaskdjhgasdjhki or because Martin wants to stay, who knows. And who cares.
