Frank Martin's coaching persona is well-known.

There are fewer stories on how he grew into that persona in his hometown of Miami.

For my final @MDC_Sports story, I sought to discover how Frank became Frank, and that meant looking to the 305:

Coach Thompson is a terrific coach and an even better person. I spoke at his coaches forum several years ago and had a great time. The year I spoke it was a Five Star reunion with Dave Odom and Pete Gillen the other speakers. Great event!

So well deserved… Coach Steve Moore is one of the all time Greats. And a very nice mentor to young coaches like I once was.

I can confirm the new Head MBB Coach at Geneva College is @GCPioneerHoops Assistant @DJDamazo.

DJ is a Geneva grad, and started 2 years for the Golden Tornadoes.

Geneva is believed to be the first college with a basketball team. The school adopted the sport in 1892, just weeks after its invention by Dr. James Naismith at Springfield College.

Best of luck to DJ, who is truly one of the great people in #d3hoops.
