There is a brief blurb - "He honed his game and attitude at Cincinnati,
where Bob Huggins's junior college mercenary program has always been
more about intimidation than graduation."

However, later in the article there is this paragraph. 

"Martin was indeed headed down Rasheed Wallace's road. Early in his
career he was too busy feeling persecuted by referees and others to
understand he was undermining his ability to get calls down the stretch
of a close game. But he applied the brakes to his anger, if not his ego.
Not every questionable call became a morality play. He checked himself,
whereas Wallace just kept going, until he almost alienated an entire
league." 

Now who is smarter ?  The former Cincinnati student or former North
Carolina student ?

I hadn't read the entire article before I sent this so I must now add 
this warning.  Since this a Washington Post article, there is an 
obligatory slam on Huggins and the UC program.

Also, this site does require registration, so if you don't want to you 
can go to these two links to read the article
