Frank Martin is an American basketball coach at the University of South Carolina.

Early career

Martin, who grew up in Miami, Florida, is the son of Cuban immigrants and the first American-born member of his family.[1][2] He graduated with a bachelor's degree in physical education from Florida International University in 1993.[3] One of the two jobs he held while attending FIU was that of a bouncer at a local nightclub. He decided to become a full-time basketball coach in 1992 as a result of an incident in which he was subjected to gunfire, while on duty, from a group of men whom he had ejected for fighting.[2]

At the same time, he had begun his career in basketball as the head coach of the boys' junior varsity squad at Miami High School in 1985. He served in that position for eight years until he was appointed to his first varsity coaching job at North Miami High School after he completed his studies at FIU in 1993. He returned to Miami Senior two years later to head its varsity team.[3] Under his watch, the Stingarees won three consecutive state championships from 1996 to 1998. The last of those titles was later vacated due to recruiting violations involving school employees and boosters who gave housing assistance to the players.[2] Although he was never personally accused of any wrongdoing, Martin was dismissed in 1999.[4] He next served as head coach at Booker T. Washington High School for one year.[3]

College coaching career

Martin joined the college ranks as an assistant coach/recruiting coordinator at Northeastern University from 2000 to 2004. He moved to the University of Cincinnati, serving one season each under Bob Huggins and Andy Kennedy. Martin followed Huggins to Kansas State, joining his staff on April 5, 2006.[3] On April 6, 2007, almost a year to the day after his arrival in Manhattan, Martin was named head coach of the Wildcats in the wake of Huggins' resignation.

Kansas State University

Martin's first season was marked by a number of firsts. The Wildcats were in the preseason Top 25 for the first time since 1972. Martin's Wildcats defeated then-No. 10 Texas A&M on January 19, 2008, marking the first win over a ranked team in nearly a year, as well as K-State's first victory over a Top 10 team since beating Texas in March 2004.

On January 30, 2008, Martin led Kansas State to an 84–75 victory over then-No. 2 Kansas, marking the Wildcats' first home win over their in-state rival since 1983. Martin led the 2007–2008 Wildcats to their first berth in the NCAA Tournament since 1996.

He was awarded the Big 12 Conference Coach of the Year by the conference on March 7, 2010.[5] Later that month, he led the Wildcats to the Elite Eight, their deepest run in the tournament since 1988.

He was given a contract extension through the 2014-2015 season. His salary increased to $1.2 million, plus incentives, for 2010-11. The salary would increase by $100,000 a year for each subsequent year of the contract, topping out at $1.6 million in 2014-15.[6]

After Frank Haith left Miami to take the Missouri head coaching job in the spring of 2011, there were rumors that Martin, born and raised in Miami, might leave Kansas State and take the job. These rumors ended when it was announced that Jim Larranaga took the job at Miami.[7]

University of South Carolina

On March 26, 2012, in a text message to ESPN, Martin confirmed he had accepted the head coach position at South Carolina.[8] On March 27, 2012, Martin was introduced as South Carolina's head coach, replacing Darrin Horn.
