October 1, 200521 yr Kenyon Martin is mad about Bob Huggins? resignation from the University of Cincinnati. Really mad. So mad that he wants the school to have his number un-retired and taken off the wall at the arena because of the way his college coach was treated, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported. Martin, now a forward with the Denver Nuggets, is one of three Cincinnati player with his jersey retired. He expressed his displeasure at a charity event honoring the coach on Thursday night, the paper reported. "This is personal between me and the university," Martin told the paper. "The way I feel, I want my name no longer affiliated with the University of Cincinnati. I would like them to take my jersey down and get rid of my locker and my trophies." Coaches Rick Pitino of Louisville, Tubby Smith of Kentucky, Bobby Lutz of Charlotte, and John Calipari of Memphis, as well as former players and fans attended the roast, which will benefit Huggins' Emanuel Center charity and the Salvation Army's Hurricane Katrina fund. Huggins thanked Cincinnati and its fans, and told the appreciative crowd he'll be back on the sidelines eventually. "I'm going to coach again," Huggins the paper reported. "I don't have any idea where. I'm not one of those guys that's going to run around hoping someone gets fired. That's for sure. I've never lived my life that way. ... If the right opportunity comes, then we'll do it." http://msnbc.msn.com/id/9545104/ Damn, now that is some loyalty.
October 1, 200521 yr I understand his loyalty towards Huggins, but this is ridiculous. It's not like Huggins was wrongfully fired or something.
