If the DC media went after Lonergan, they would be like piranhas after Martin

Why would Martin want to go to Georgetown? At this point, South Carolina might be a more attractive job than Georgetown. I suspect he would aim higher if he's going to move on. SC is on the upswing while Gtown is on the decline. I agree that it's unlikely that a typical coach would prefer GT to SC. Martin will reach mythic status at SC and will have great leverage over the school when it comes to contract extension or renewal time

The idea that South Carolina is a better job than Georgetown is fake news.

In Columbia there is a 18000 seat $65 million arena (in 2001 $) primarily for South Carolina basketball.

Last year Georgetown averaged attendance of 8,879 while South Carolina was at 11,995. I'll bet Georgetown's attendance declined in this current season while I would not be surprised if SC's increased. I'll suggest that is further evidence of one program on the decline while the other is on the upswing

There is nothing better to aid the recruiting cause than a trip to the FF and all its trappings.

South Carolina is a football school, in a football conference, and in "no-man's land" of major college basketball. Meanwhile, with a legitimate head coach, Georgetown can be one of the upper-tier programs in the country.

Also not really a successful football program over the years. As Lou Hotlz intoned as he was booted from Columbia, "You can't win at South Carolina." The Ball Coach and Clowney changed that for a short period. South Carolina women with a fantastic hire of a coach, now that UConn has been booted by another SEC school, MSU, has a chance to win it all. Interesting.

The alleged "no-man's land" of MBB also accounted for 3 of the last 8 schools standing. Interesting...

Power conference jobs I'd leave to go to Georgetown:
Washington State (as Al McGuire once said: "Pullman is where elephants go to die") Northwestern (because of the academics vis-a-vis the league they're in) Vanderbilt (same thing) BC
That ain't many.

SC Women led nation in w attendence Partly because they almost give the tickets away. Reserved season tickets cost $40. General admission season tickets for $30. About $2 per game. UConn women's full season tickets run about $300.

Meanwhile, with a legitimate head coach, Georgetown can be one of the upper-tier programs in the country. As someone who lives in D.C., I think I have some perspective on this. G'town is not the job it used to be, in part because the Big East isn't the conference it used to be. Don't get me wrong; I think it's still a good job, and can be a very good one again. But it's never going to be the elite, perennial top-10 program it was under Big John in the '80s. Word today is that they're looking at Patrick Ewing, and I think that would be a good choice; Ewing has spent more than a decade in the NBA as an assistant, working for some excellent head coaches (Doug Collins, Jeff and Stan Van Gundy, Steve Clifford). And Big John couldn't complain about the Hoyas hiring his biggest and most successful recruit. Georgetown obviously has huge resources and basketball is the school's big sport, unlike South Carolina. But a state school with equally big resources should not be dismissed. Many coaches would prefer coaching at those kinds of schools compared with a private (albeit very successful) school.

I needed NC to lose to win my pool. Did not go to bed thinking the refs screwed me. I guess social media wasn't as big some of the years that Duke (who I don't hate that much) got all the whistles.
