OT: Phil Martelli fired

[Chin Diesel]

Good news for Martelli: He's been hired to join Juwan Howard's staff at Michigan. Good landing spot for him and smart move by Michigan getting a vet like Martelli to mentor Howard.

On the other hand, Saint Joseph's currently have 7 players on scholarship, three of which played on the team last season. Billy Lange has his hands full, but I am curious how he tries to rebuild the program.

Seems like a smart move by Howard.

Well their AD is a rock star so...

And the Rock Star saw what happened here with a former NBA/former hometown team/player/coach and said "you know, Juwann, it might be good to get yourself an experienced coach to show you how to run a program."
If this hire fails, the Rock Star might be working at Rock Auto........

"Then as soon as you have some success you can fire the experienced guys and flounder."

That’s a real good fit for him and good recognition by Howard in terms of what he needs on his staff. Martelli won’t need to be involved in recruiting, something he probably won’t miss.

Who knows? But it's a safe move by the AD and that was his prime motivation.
