'''Cuonzo LaMar Martin''' (born September 23, 1971) is an American [[basketball]] coach and former player who is in his second tenure as the head men's basketball coach at [[Missouri State Bears basketball|Missouri State University]]. He had held that same position from 2008 to 2011. He is the former head coach at the [[Tennessee Volunteers basketball|University of Tennessee]], [[California Golden Bears men's basketball|University of California, Berkeley]], and the [[Missouri Tigers men's basketball|University of Missouri]].

==High school==
Playing alongside [[LaPhonso Ellis]] as a sophomore and junior, Martin played on [[Illinois high school boys basketball championship#1982-1991|two state championship teams]]  for [[East St. Louis Lincoln High School|Lincoln High]] in his native [[East St. Louis, Illinois]]. Through his 3 years in the [[Illinois high school boys basketball championship|IHSA tournament]], Martin scored 198 points and grabbed 111 rebounds in 12 games.

In 2007, Martin and Ellis were voted among the "[[100 Legends of the IHSA Boys Basketball Tournament]]," recognizing their superior performance in their appearances in the tournament.<ref>[http://www.ihsa.org/initiatives/legends/index.htm IHSA – Legends of Boys Basketball<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

==College career==

Cuonzo Martin attended [[Purdue University]], where he played for [[Gene Keady]] and alongside [[John Wooden Award|Wooden Award]] winner [[Glenn Robinson]]. The 6'6", 215&nbsp;lb guard/forward helped lead the [[Purdue Boilermakers men's basketball]] team to back-to-back [[Big Ten Conference]] Titles in 1994 and 1995 and an [[1994 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|Elite Eight]] appearance. Martin held future NBA players [[Shawn Respert]] of [[Michigan State Spartans|Michigan State]] and [[Wisconsin Badgers|Wisconsin]]'s [[Michael Finley]] to season lows in scoring as a senior. On March 24, 1994, Martin set a school record with the most three-pointers made in a game, making 8 of 13 threes against [[Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball|Kansas]] in a [[1994 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|Sweet Sixteen]], later broken by [[Carsen Edwards]] (3/23/19 Purdue vs Villanova). Known as the team's defensive stopper, he was also deadly beyond the arc. He left Purdue with the fourth most three-point shots made with 179, behind [[Jaraan Cornell]]'s 242 record, while holding the record for the highest career three-point shooting with .451 accuracy. Martin was awarded ''First Team All-Big Ten'' honors his Senior season, averaging 18.4 points a game. He currently holds another school record for most consecutive games played with 137 straight throughout his career at Purdue.

==Professional career==

Martin was selected by the [[Atlanta Hawks]] as the 57th pick in the 2nd round of the [[1995 NBA draft]]. He played in only seven career NBA games for the [[1995–96 NBA season|1995–96]] [[expansion team]] [[Vancouver Grizzlies]] and the [[Milwaukee Bucks]] where he re-joined his college teammate and the number one pick in the 1994 NBA Draft [[Glenn Robinson]] during the [[1996–97 NBA season|1996–97 season]]. He also played professionally in the [[Continental Basketball Association]] (CBA) for the [[Grand Rapids Mackers]] during the 1995–96 season and [[Grand Rapids Hoops]] during the 1996–97 and 1998–99 seasons.<ref name=sc>{{cite web |title=Cuonzo Martin minor league basketball statistics |url=https://www.statscrew.com/minorbasketball/stats/p-marticuo001 |website=Stats Crew |access-date=February 28, 2025}}</ref> He was selected to the All-CBA Second Team in 1997 and All-Rookie First Team in 1996.<ref name=sc/> He played for [[S.S. Felice Scandone|Ciro Avellino]] of Italian [[Lega Basket Serie A]] for the 1997–98 season.  Martin was leading the Italian team in scoring. In November 1997, Martin asked to be sent home, due to various symptoms. He was diagnosed with [[non-Hodgkin lymphoma]]. Martin began aggressive treatments and chemotherapy and the [[cancer]] went into remission. Martin returned to Purdue to finish his degree. After he graduated, [[Gene Keady]] hired Martin as an assistant coach in 2000. The Cuonzo Martin Challenge Award to help raise funds for cancer research was established in his honor and he has since been cancer-free.

==Coaching career==

===Purdue===

After one year as an assistant coach at [[West Lafayette High School]], Martin returned to Purdue in 2000 to be an assistant coach under his former coach [[Gene Keady]] and former teammate, [[Matt Painter]]. He helped the Boilers to an [[Elite Eight]] appearance and three [[NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship|NCAA]] Second Round appearances, along with an overall 153–129 record during his eight seasons on the Purdue bench. He was named associate head coach for the 2007–08 season.<ref name="Purdue bio">{{cite web|title=Cuonzo Martin|url=http://www.purduesports.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/martin_cuonzo00.html|publisher=Purdue University|access-date=July 11, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120124111921/http://www.purduesports.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/martin_cuonzo00.html|archive-date=January 24, 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Missouri State===

After eight seasons at Purdue, Martin accepted the head coaching position at Missouri State University on March 25, 2008. He replaced [[Barry Hinson]]. After falling to [[Auburn Tigers men's basketball|Auburn]] in the season opener, Martin had his first head coaching win over [[Central Michigan]] on the road. Martin's Bears won their first game at their new [[JQH Arena]] home, beating [[University of Arkansas|Arkansas]] from the [[Southeastern Conference|SEC]]. They wrapped up the pre-conference season with a 7–4 record. Martin's Bears headed into conference play with only 3 players appearing in every game, due to a number of injuries. They lost their first conference game in overtime against an undefeated [[Illinois State]]. His Bears finished the season with an 11–20 record.

Following his first season as head coach, Martin's top 25 [[Ratings Percentage Index|RPI]]-ranked Bears started the 2009–10 season with a 10–0 start. Missouri State averaged a 10+ margin in points per game coming into Missouri Valley Conference play. Cuonzo's squad finished seventh in conference play with a 20–12 record and accepted a bid to the [[2010 CollegeInsider.com Tournament|CIT tournament]], which they ended up winning to finish the season with a record of 24–12.

In Coach Martin's third year at Missouri State, the team won their first regular season Missouri Valley Men's Basketball title and entered the [[2011 Missouri Valley Conference men's basketball tournament|Arch Madness]] conference tournament as the #1 seed.  After reaching the finals, they lost to the Indiana State Sycamores.  Although having an RPI of 44, the team was not selected as an at-large team to the 2011 NCAA Men's Basketball tournament.  They accepted a bid to the [[2011 National Invitation Tournament|National Invitation Tournament]], beating Murray State University at home and then losing to Miami (FL) away in the 2nd round.  The team ended the season with a 26–9 record.

===Tennessee===
On March 27, 2011, after three seasons at Missouri State, Martin was hired as the head coach of the [[Tennessee Volunteers basketball|Tennessee Volunteers]].<ref name="espn_tenn_hire">{{Cite web |date=March 27, 2011 |title=Tennessee hires Cuonzo Martin |url=https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/news/story?id=6264533 |access-date=March 28, 2011 |website=ESPN.com|agency=Associated Press}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://thevolunteertimes.com/campbell/vol-watch-vols-hire-cuonzo-martin/ |title=Vols hire Cuonzo Martin |first=John |last=Muse |date=March 28, 2011 |work=The Volunteer Times |access-date=March 30, 2011 |archive-date=August 31, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110831022147/http://thevolunteertimes.com/campbell/vol-watch-vols-hire-cuonzo-martin/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>  In three seasons as head coach, Martin led the Volunteers to two [[National Invitation Tournament|NITs]] and to the [[2014 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|2014 NCAA tournament]] Sweet Sixteen.

After a slow start to the 2013–14 season, several fans began openly campaigning to have Martin replaced with his predecessor, [[Bruce Pearl]], who was about to finish serving a [[show-cause penalty]].  An online petition urging athletic director [[Dave Hart Jr.]] to rehire Pearl drew 40,000 signatures.  Later, Martin said that several of his own players were displeased with the way fans treated him.<ref>{{cite news |last=Parrish |first=Gary |url=http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/eye-on-college-basketball/24624246/new-faces-new-places-cuonzo-martin-knew-it-was-time-to-leave-vols |title=New Faces, New Places: Cuonzo Martin knew it was time to leave Vols |work=CBSSports.com |date=July 16, 2014}}</ref>
