Phil Martelli is the current basketball coach of the Saint Joseph's Hawks and maintains an impressive resume.

Playing Career

Martelli was a point guard for Widener University. As point guard, he was part of the NCAA Tournament teams in 1974-75 and 1975-76, and set the school's single season and career assist marks.

Career at Saint Joseph's

Martelli began his career on Hawk Hill with SJU's 1985-86 NCAA Tournament team. In his decade as an assistant, he was part of the Hawks' NIT teams in 1992-93 and 1994-95. After 10 years as an assistant at Saint Joseph's, Martelli was named the 14th coach in school history on July 20, 1995, and just the third non-alumnus to follow in the storied tradition of SJU coaches.

In his first season as head coach (1995-96) his team reached the final game of the NIT Tournament. In Phil's second year, under the floor generalship of Junior point guard Rashid Bey, and help from Arthur "Yah" Davis and Dmitri Domani, Martelli's Hawks captured the Atlantic 10 crown and made it into the Sweet Sixteen round of the NCAA tournament. After that year they would run into a road block until the successful recruitment of eventual Naismith College Player of the Year Jameer Nelson and current NBA players Delonte West and Dwayne Jones. With Nelson as point guard, Martelli led the 2003-04 Hawks to a 27-0 regular season. The Hawks lost to Xavier in the Atlantic 10 Tournament, and reached the Elite Eight, ultimately losing to Oklahoma State to finish with a record of 30-2. That year, Martelli was named Naismith College Coach of the Year. In 2004-05, Martelli led the Hawks back to the final game of the NIT, where they lost to South Carolina. In 2005-06, the Hawks returned to the NIT, eventually losing to Hofstra University. In 2008, Martelli led Saint Joseph's to its first NCAA Tournament since 2004 with a team led by Pat Calathes and Ahmad Nivins.

Coach Martelli also surpassed Hawk legend Dr. Jack Ramsay for second among SJU coaches in wins 2008. He is fourth among SJU coaches with a winning percentage of .633. Martelli has won the most postseason games of any Hawk coach and his teams have averaged 23 wins over the course of the last eight seasons.

In 2007, Phil Martelli's first book "Don't Call Me Coach: A Lesson Plan For Life" was published. Students at SJU often say "In Martelli We Trust" about their beloved basketball coach. Martelli has called his job at St. Joe's his "dream job".
