Matt Martin to coach for UM?

I have heard that Matt martin is talking to the U of Minnesota concerning taking a grad assistant job with them. Good for him.
 
I posted the following on the other thread, but it fits better here.

I am surprised Matt Martin is looking to coach so soon. Is his professional career not going well? Or does he want to pursue the family thing now that him and Dana Conway are engaged? (I can see Tinks and Selvig recruiting their kids already.) I have seen Matt coach at the GRIZ basketball camp. He will be a very good coach from the get go, in time excellent. He is very fiery, intelligent, and yet still understanding of his players. He impressed me with strategy and matchups. He has a great personality too. I think the biggest thing he needs to work on is when and how to tighten the reigns on players that need it. Sounds very much his playing days.

Matt has the advantage of learning from his father, who I was very impressed with as a coach. Maybe now that Matt has experience basketball beyond college, maybe he has learned the few things he was lacking. If that is the case, Matt will be a dynamic hire for any college. As motivated as he is, I would be not surprised to see him be a collegiate headcoach in his early 30's. Ironically enough, about the time all Tinks kids will be adults.
 
Matt came back early from England last year due to the financial situation of his team. They were running out of money and he wasn't sure if he'd keep getting paid.
