On the radio this morning Phil described his feelings like: "[I]attending your own funeral[/I]". Phil then went on to say: [I]In an instant St. Joe's went from being EVERYTHING to he and his family to just another place where he worked for a while. [/I] Phil was at St Joe's for half his life! The attached article chronicles the 40 year friendship of Phil & Geno and gives great insight into Geno. I was very fortunate to be a small intersection at the beginning of that friendship in 979 as an impressionable high school kid trying to make my way. Both were and remain great men. Phil deserved better from St Joe's. [I]" Why don’t you just say, ‘We’ve been forced to change coaches because we’re not winning enough games and the boosters are complaining.’ Don’t give that same old crap. It could be Charles Manson and if your team is winning 35 games every year nobody gives a goshdarn.” [/I] [URL="https://www.ctpost.com/sports/jeffjacobs/article/Jeff-Jacobs-Geno-Auriemma-shocked-by-13707430.php"]Jeff Jacobs: Geno Auriemma ‘shocked’ by firing of close friend Phil Martelli at St. Joseph[/URL] [/QUOTE]
