Cal Men’s Basketball coach Cuonzo Martin has had a rough week. His starting guard broke his hand on Wednesday and his other guard went to the locker room with minutes to go before tip with back spasms. It didn’t end well as the Bears fell to Hawaii in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
Not only that but the controversy surrounding Martin and his assistant coach Yann Hufnagel. More from IBA Buzz:
Assistant coach Yann Hufnagel was fired Monday after a long campus investigation which showed he sexually harassed a female reporter. Questions followed about whether Martin reported the issue promptly, with the university announcing it would conduct a broader review of the entire process.
Coach Martin looked visibly uncomfortable and upset after the game. He sidestepped questions about his future with the team, but his body language spoke louder than words. More from IBA:
Also cloudy is the future of second-year coach Cuonzo Martin, whose team was 14th in the AP preseason poll and arrived in Spokane ranked No. 23 nationally and seeded fourth in the NCAA’s South Region.
There will be more to come from this story as the investigation goes further.
