Good coaching tonight!

winning ugly beats losing pretty. The men didn't always play smart but they did play hard!
How many times have we not been able to finish games like this in the past few years? Perfect strategy at the end with the foul and Kelel on the inbound. Brilliant.
4 Straight wins against Michigan ending an 8 game skid
Keep them coming!! **** Michigan

Coming back slowly from the heart surgery. Weird to see.
Howard had heart surgery recently. BTW, Grandpa has quite a coaching resume. Show some respect.
Before heading to Ann Arbor, Martelli spent 34 years at Saint Joseph's serving as an assistant coach for 10 years (1986-95), before taking over as the head coach for 24 seasons (1996-2019). Throughout his three decades, he helped build the Saint Joseph's program into one of the most consistent in the Atlantic 10, becoming a perennial postseason participant and a key player on the national scene. He earned his place among the top coaches in the school's storied history and is one of the most respected coaches in the game.
Martelli is the Hawks' all-time leader in career victories with a mark of 444-328. He set the school record for most wins in a season (30) in 2004 and recorded 10 total 20-plus win seasons -- the most for any Hawks' coach. His Atlantic 10 record of 218-176 ranks second all-time in league history and trails only Temple's John Chaney. He won seven Atlantic 10 regular season/divisional titles (1986, '97, 2001, '02, '03, '04 & '05) and guided the Hawks to seven A-10 Tournament championship games, winning the title four times (1986, '97, 2014 & '16).
Martelli had 16 postseason appearances (8 NCAA, 8 NIT) advancing to two NCAA Sweet 16s (1997 and 2004) and the school's third Elite Eight appearance in 2004. He guided the Hawks to NIT runner-up finishes in his first season at the helm of the Hawks in 1996 and then again in 2005.
Among his many memorable seasons in charge of the Hawks, the 2003-04 campaign stands out as the most outstanding during his tenure. After Martelli and his Hawks finished the regular season undefeated (27-0) and reached the No. 1 ranking for the first time, Saint Joseph's suffered its first setback against Xavier in A-10 Tournament quarterfinal.
Despite the conference tournament loss, the Hawks earned the first-ever No. 1 seed (East) in the 2004 NCAA Tournament. After wins over Liberty (82-63), Texas Tech (70-65) and Wake Forest (84-80), Saint Joseph's advanced to the program's third ever Elite Eight, however, fell to Oklahoma State, 64-62, just two points short of the Final Four. Following the season, Martelli and his point guard Jameer Nelson swept the consensus National Coach and Player of the Year honors.
In addition to his National Coach of the Year honor in 2004, Martelli was named the Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year four times (1997, 2001, '04 and '05), the USBWA District Coach of the Year, twice (1997 and 2004) and the Philadelphia Big 5 Coach of the Year four times (1996, '97, 2004 and '16).
Seven of Martelli's players reached the NBA, with first round picks Jameer Nelson (2004; 20th by Denver), Delonte West (2004; 24th by Boston) and DeAndre' Bembry (2016; 21st by Atlanta) as well as second-round selection Ahmad Nivins (2009; 56th by Dallas). Additionally, Dwayne Jones and Ronald Roberts, Jr. had NBA?stints and undrafted free agent Langston Galloway earned All-Rookie second team honors with the New York Knicks in 2015. Galloway is currently playing in the NBA G League with the College Park Skyhawks.
Martelli served as President of the NABC's Board of Directors and as a member of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Ethics Coalition, as well as a board member on the NCAA Division I Oversight Committee. In 2016, he was honored with the Gene Bartow Award by CollegeInsider.com for outstanding achievement and contributions to the game.
Martelli was also the chair of the Coaches vs. Cancer National Council for 12 years and served the co-chair of the Philadelphia chapter of that organization, with the city's coaches becoming one of the top fundraising groups in the nation. He has received numerous honors for his community work and in 2017, he was the co-recipient of the American Cancer Society's Circle of Honor Award with Fran Dunphy of Temple. Martelli has also been awarded three honorary doctorates - from his alma mater, Widener University (2004), as well as Cabrini College (2006) and Immaculata University (2010).
You could have just said “ he was the long time head coach at St J” and we would have been ok. Reading that was like watching Ben-Hur.
I agree with the OP. Woodson did a nice job tonight. He had timeouts and set plays when necessary and he went back to the key scorers in the 2nd.
Good win for Coach and for this young team.

I feel like you literally copied that out of a media guide or Wikipedia page.
He had a 19 year NBA playing career. I know LeBron is on 21. One more season and he’ll tie Vince Carter for the longest pro career.
After years of Crean/Archie when I knew we were going to piss it away down the stretch, I found myself thinking during this game: we'll find a way to win this one. Woodson chippin away in terms of the culture, love to see it.
Several smart coaching decisions by Woody. In addition to Ware guarding the inbounds, I loved the late inbounds play to get MM the ball to put him on the line.
Also thought he managed substitutions very well.

Agreed. Specifically…. I noticed his two time outs right before the 8:00 TO’s in both halves.
Although…. Not as strategic as under 1:00 remaining time outs, I see the benefit of giving the players the extra breathing break.
Especially in an away game.
what, you don't think he typed that freehand off the top of his head, just from memory???
The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany might have been a better analogy, comparing reading to reading vs reading to viewing, but your point was in the right direction and understood by the general masses, I imagine. Any book by James Michener, the king of long-windedness, would have sufficed, too.
OT-We need to give Sparks some love. He swished two critical foul shots at a time we really needed them.
I always watch Ben-Hur once a yr so it's my reference point for long productions. Only movie I've seen on TV where they actually run without commercials, and leave in the 10 minute intermission midway (most people under 40 yrs old probably don't even know what that means). The chariot race is still, IMHO, the greatest cinematic production in history. Watch that 10 minute section and realize...no CGI used. One of the stuntmen was actually killed during filming of the race. I'm actually surprised the count was only one.
OT-yes our bench has really come to play in these last 2 games. Good to see with X out.
I went to see Ben Hur in the movie theater with my folks when I was 8-9 years old. Yes, I remember the intermission. The leper cave scene haunted me for many years. Flesh-eating diseases have a way of infecting…excuse me, affecting an impressionable young child in a vicarious way.
Phil Martelli is Phil Martelli.
Do you have something against all your relatives or just the old ones?
yeah the valley of the lepers is something that sticks in your mind forever. I still feel a little uncomfortable when we get to that part of the movie.
Don't see Steve McQueen's Papillon then!
Love that film BUT you might want to google about someone actually dying. I think that is an urban legend.
yeah it's disputed....not sure we'll ever know the real answer. Most all people involved in shooting the movie are dead now.
sorry to hijack this tread and turn it into a Siskel and Ebert show.
Good to see us actually find a way to win (and not lose) a game like last night. Seen too many wilting flowers in past years. Just need backcourt play to pick up. Trey with another zero rebound game along with poor shooting. Cupps will be good but he's been thrown into the fire too quickly, because he had to. But this experience he's getting now will benefit IU in the coming yrs. Would like to see him knock down a couple 3s each game. That would really help.

Actually my shoes went out of style before getting it all read.
