Frank Martin Bio ( Facts )

Frank Jose Martin was the first member of his family to be born in America. His father and mother, Lourdes Perez Martin, had fled Cuba due to the repressive political regime of the time. They gave birth to Martin on March 23, 1966 in Miami, Florida.

In 1993, he graduated from Florida International University with a bachelor’s degree in physical education. At the time, he held several jobs, including bouncer at a local nightclub and Miami high school head coach for the junior varsity men’s team, a job he started in 1985. Frank Martin was already practicing. has no plans to quit his nightclub duties or become a full-time trainer until he survives a shootout that was orchestrated by a group of men he chased more early from the club to fight.

After leaving the nightclub, and eight years at Miami High School, he was offered his first varsity coaching job at North Miami High School shortly after graduating from Florida International University ( FIU). A few years later, during a second stint at Miami Senior, the team won the state championships three times in a row from 1996 to 1998. However, they would subsequently lose the 1998 title due to certain violations of recruitment. This led to his dismissal in 1999, although it was never proven that he participated in the violations.

Frank’s next job saw him spend a year at Booker T. Washington High School, his final year as a coach.

In 2000, Frank Martin was brought in by Northeastern University as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. He spent four years there before moving to the University of Cincinnati in 2004. In 2006, Cincinnati head coach Bob Huggins was hired by Kansas State University, who took Martin with him. After a year together at Kansas, Huggins resigned and Martin took his place as head coach.

On March 2, 2012, Martin replaced Darrin Horn as head coach of the University of South Carolina basketball team. Frank’s first two seasons at USC were disastrous and even saw him lose his temper several times on the court. Over the next few seasons, Frank Martin oversaw the recovery of the team, which ended its non-conference and SEC conference campaigns in a much better position than the first two seasons.

The 2016-17 season was Martin’s best year with the USC Gamecocks, earning him a spot as the No. 7 seed in the 2017 NCAA Tournament. They beat strong opponents to advance to the Sweet 16, Elite 8, Final 4, where they lost 73-77 to the Gonzaga. It was the first time in school history that they went all the way to Elite 8.
