Old Phil Martelli interviews
Found a couple of older (2014) interviews with new MBB assistant coach Phil Martelli.
After watching for a while, I realized he reminded me of someone: John Beilein. No idea how he is as a tactician (esp. compared to an all-time great like Coach B), but from the perspective of being a genuinely good guy, treating the interviewer with uncommon grace, repeatedly talking about graduating players, and mentioning pushing his players instead of coddling them. Seems like he may be a good fit with the UM fan base.

His teams don't turn the ball over. Top 5 in the country for a few years now.
So, he lacks the Harbaugh gift of articulation?
Keep in mind St Joe’s NEVER had the resources to offer their program that Michigan does.
Martelli achieved a lot with little.
Your post is very interesting.
I clicked on the firing press conference on the side of the youtube link. The comments were very telling. One poster claiming inside info was essentially saying the AD didn't want to pay him what he was earning.
I like what I saw with his accomplishments! I'm also liking the connections in extremely important recruiting circles. With these hires we have connections now in Detroit, Chicago, and now Philadelphia.
New Jersey and New York as well. He’s big in both states and he’s great with guards.
"Phil Martelli, King of Philly,
Blast from the past
Out-recruitin' that ass."
Always liked him, always thought he looked like Peter Boyle(dad from everyone loves Raymond). He made a school I never knew existed relevent in basketball.
IIRC, he called Billy Packer a jackass on national TV. Might have even been on the selection show. Anybody who does that is free and clear in my book.
Matt Martucci, bringing the heat!!!
You dubbed yourself the prince of nachos, but this is kingly stuff right here. Allow the peasants to feed you nachos, and feel no shame...
"Phil Martelli, he's smooth like jelly,
The man with a plan,
He's always ready to jam."
Phil Martelli: One of the best lookin’ mothafuckas you’ve ever seen.
SUBS are OUT....
Philadelphia Cheese Steaks are IN!!!
JB is an all time great? Hmm. News to me.
