Should Georgia win the Athens regional this weekend, it’d mean that one of the other three teams in Athens this weekend would not only see its season end, but also the iconic career of long-time skipper Mike Martin.
For a coach whose career has been marked by classic contests in the ACC, against teams like Miami and near-misses in Omaha, Foley Field would seem a random place for such a career to end. In many ways, he’s a strong parallel to Andy Landers of Georgia women’s basketball - a great coach with a lot of wins that’s revered in spite of the near-misses when it came to national titles.
