Frank Martin's coaching teams Now, nine seasons into his tenure as South Carolina's head coach, Martin says he feels like he's back in Year 1 at K-State. For about a month after the Gamecocks (6-15, 4-12 SEC) finished a rough season played amid the COVID-19 outbreak, rumors lingered concerning Martin's job position. But now that spring sports are set to begin again, Martin says he has no intention of looking elsewhere. He said he's happy at South Carolina and plans to be there next season when the Gamecocks' new practice facility is complete. "I love what we're doing in Columbia," Martin said during a phone interview last week. "We've got a great group of young people who want to get better every day. I think our fans appreciate seeing us work hard every day in practice so we can play well on game days." Before joining South Carolina's staff, Martin spent three years (2012-2015) as head coach at Kansas State. He led the Wildcats to a 32-29 record and made the NCAA Tournament each year. After leaving Manhattan, Kan., where he had been an assistant under Bruce Weber since 2001, Martin was named head coach at South Carolina on April 17, 2007. During his time at Northeastern, Martin developed a reputation for working players hard in practice but also giving them freedom in games.
