Which, really, says volumes about the Miami job at the moment...
Reps from Miami went to Boston to talk. Amaker listened, then he declined...
"I am appreciative of and flattered by the interest shown in me by other fine universities, but I am proud and honored to represent Harvard," Amaker said in a statement released by the school. "I look forward to continuing my efforts to teach, lead and serve at this great institution."
Greg Cote's random ramblings of a blog at the Miami Herald are imploring the school to pick up Frank Martin...
The poll Cote has on his page has Martin at 75-percent of the vote in a six-coach poll. Tell you something...???
More when we know more...

UNLV Upsets K-State, Frank Martin Still Upset
((HT: KSHB-TV/NBCActionNews.com))
With two guards, Jacob Pullen and Curtis Kelly, suspended for receiving improper benefits from a Manhattan, Kansas clothing store, the Kansas State Wildcats went into their game with UNLV short-handed.
Tre'Von Willis scored 16 points and Oscar Bellfield hit a key 3-pointer with 1:10 left to help UNLV win over the highest-ranked opponent it had faced in the regular season in more than three years.
Frank Martin, on the other hand, would only take questions about the players on the floor and, practically, had a scanners moment in the press room.
Here's KSHB-TV's coverage...
And Martin is awesome...

Sunday College Carousel: Kent Out, Martin Stays
((HT: KVAL-TV Eugene))
University of Oregon's head basketball coach, Ernie Kent, has been fired before the end of the regular season.
Technically, Kent was fired after meeting with Oregon AD Mike Bellotti back on Monday after home losses to Cal and Stanford. Also coming out of that meeting, Kent's entire staff will be replaced, with the possible exception of assistant Kenny Payne.
Kent is 233-172 in 13 seasons with the Ducks. He has taken Oregon to five NCAA appearances- making it to the Elite Eight twice.
The past two seasons have been classified as "a big disappointment" for the team. Oregon was 8-23 last season, and is 14-15 losses this year.
There should be a press conference on either Sunday or Monday.
New arena= new head coach...
Where has the HQ heard that one before...???
Tom Davis has the scoop, thanks to our friends at KVAL-TV...
Elsewhere, the Octagon of Doom will have its ring leader for a while...
Frank Martin has agreed to and will sign a three-year extension to remain with Kansas State through the 2014-15 season, according to ESPN's Andy Katz.
Martin had two years remaining on his original deal. He'll get a salary increase, retroactive no less, that will move his salary from $760K to $1.2 million a year.
Now, if only Martin could invest in some decaf...

K-State Knocks Off Number One Texas
((HT: KTKA-TV Topeka))
Just when you thought the Big 12 couldn't get any wackier, Kansas State goes and does this...
Jamar Samuels scored 15 of his 20 points in the first half and the Wildcats knocked off previously unbeaten Texas 71-62 in Lawrence at Bramlage Coliseum.
Jacob Pullen and Denis Clemente combined for a 4-for-24 from the field as the Longhorns shot only 37-percent from the floor in the game.
Kansas State had a ten point lead at the half, but had to deal with Texas' intensity on the defensive side of the ball as well- only clocking in at 38-percent for the contest.
So much for all the hub-bub after Wildcats coach Frank Martin poked a player a week ago, right...?
Winning distracts from everything, although the HQ saw nothing really wrong with the Martin-Merrieweather incident in the first place...
Nic Hoch has your postgame wrap from the Coliseum...
The KSU kids felt compelled to chant "overrated" as the clock ticked down. Robert Montgomery Knight, who was calling the game with Brent Musburger, thought it would be a great idea to chant "Great effort" instead...
We're not kidding...and the kids didn't follow through on that request...
For some unknown reason...

KSU Coach Apologizes For Player Contact
((HT: WIBW-TV Topeka))
Kansas State Head basketball coach Frank Martin is, shall we say, intense...
So when an old-school coach thinks a player needs motivation or his attention refocused, Martin has his ways of reorienting said attention... especially when you're a top 15 team in the country.
It includes giving a player a quick pop on his person- like he did in the Mizzou game Saturday to Chris Merrieweather.
The HQ doesn't really think what Martin did is a big deal, but in today's hyper-touchy society, we understand what Coach did after the game...
Apologize out of the box...
The HQ's only real issue is in the post-game where a K-State player referred to his coach by his first name... so much for that whole "position of authority" thing...
