When South Carolina basketball coach Frank Martin joined the Kansas State staff with Bob Huggins for the 2006-07 season, Ron Prince was just starting as the Wildcats’ football coach.
Three years later, Martin was into his second year as head coach, Prince was fired and Kansas State rehired Bill Snyder to lead the football program.
Martin, the young head coach, took advantage of the opportunity of working in the same athletic department with the veteran Snyder.
“That’s one of the luckiest things in my life, that I consider coach Snyder a friend, that we stay in contact,” Martin said.
