HEAD COACH PHIL MARTELLI
Now in his 12th season as head coach at Saint Joseph’s,
Phil Martelli has built a program that is consistently one of
the top in the conference, a perennial post-season participant and a key player on the national scene.
Martelli turned in another top-notch coaching performance in 2005-06, as the Hawks went from a 10-12 record in
February to win the final five games of the regular season,
and three straight in the conference tournament, to reach the
Atlantic 10 championship for the second year in a row, falling
just one point short of the title. The Hawks were rewarded
with their sixth consecutive postseason bid, but saw the season come to an end in
the NIT Second Round, closing with a 19-14 mark.
Martelli’s effort was similar to the previous season where he turned in perhaps
a more remarkable coaching job than in 2003-04 when he was the consensus
National Coach of the Year. Faced with the loss of two NBA first-round draft picks
from the ‘03-04 squad that went 30-2, the 2004-05 Hawks struggled early on, but
Martelli reworked the team’s style of play to guide SJU to 21 wins in the calendar
year of 2005 to finish 24-12. Saint Joseph’s posted the conference’s best record
(14-2) and won its fifth straight regular-season title to tie the league record. The
Hawks garnered the top seed in the conference tournament for the second year in a
row and reached the championship game. He was named the Atlantic 10 Coach of
the Year for the second straight season and the fourth time in his career. The Hawks
earned their fifth consecutive postseason bid and made an exciting six-game run in
the NIT, falling on a last-second shot in the championship game. It marked the second time in his career that he guided SJU to the NIT title game.
Martelli’s 12-year career record is now 225-125, but more impressively, his
teams have gone 141-54 in the previous six seasons, an average of over 23 victories per year. He currently ranks third on SJU’s all-time list for coaching victories
and needs just 10 to surpass Hall of Famer Jack Ramsay’s total of 234. Martelli is
also fourth in winning percentage (.642) among SJU coaches. Setting the school
record for wins in a season in 2004 (30), Martelli has guided SJU to 20 or more victories five times in 11 seasons. He is 114-62 in Atlantic 10 play, which is the most
conference wins for any active coach in the A-10. Martelli has also been at his best
when it counts the most as his 17 postseason wins (6 NCAA, 11 NIT) are the most
in school history, ahead of Ramsay’s 12. Martelli ranks first among Hawk coaches
with a .680 postseason winning percentage (17-8) and has taken Saint Joseph’s to
the postseason in six consecutive years, and eight times in his 11 seasons.
Martelli’s efforts and the success of the SJU program have been recognized on
a consistent basis. In fact, he has earned a Coach of the Year award, whether it be
a city, conference or regional honor, in six of his 11 seasons.
In the summer of 2005, Martelli served as the head coach of the USA Men’s U21
World Championship Team, which competed at the FIBA U21 World Championship
in Argentina, and earned a fifth-place finish. It was the coach's third assignment
with USA Basketball.
In 2003-04, Martelli guided a focused and unselfish squad that became the most
compelling story in college basketball with its undefeated regular season, a numberone national ranking and number-one seed in the NCAA Tournament. Led by consensus National Player of the Year Jameer Nelson, the Hawks advanced to the Elite
Eight.
After 10 years as an assistant at SJU, Martelli was named the school’s 14th head
coach in 1995 and is just the third non-alumnus to hold the position. Martelli burst
onto the scene in his first season (1995-96) and took the squad to the NIT championship game.
Prior to his arrival at SJU, Martelli spent seven years as head basketball
coach at Bishop Kenrick High School. At Kenrick, he led his team to six straight
Catholic League playoff appearances, a school re c o rd, and still owns the school's
all-time mark for wins with 108. M a rtelli began his career as the junior varsity
coach at Cardinal O'Hara High in Springfield, PA, for the 1976-77 season. He
moved on the following year to become an assistant at his alma mater, where he
helped guide Widener to the NCAA Division III Final Four. After that season, he
accepted the head job at Kenrick.
As a player, the St. Joseph’s Prep graduate was part of Wi d e n e r’s NCAA
Tournament teams in both 1974-75 and 1975-76, serving as team co-captain as a
senior.
Martelli and his wife Judy, a former basketball player with the legendary
Immaculata College teams, have three children. Philip, Jr., a 2003 SJU graduate, is
an assistant basketball coach at Niagara University, Jimmy is an assistant coach at
Randolph-Macon College, and Elizabeth is a sophomore attending Saint Joseph’s

LAST TIME OUT: SJU put together an impressive 63-53 win over
Bucknell, to end a two-game losing streak against the Bison. The
Hawks trailed in the early going, 18-12, nine minutes into the game,
but then turned up the intensity on defense, forcing three straight
Bison turnovers and tying the game, 21-21, with 5:49 to play. Pat
Calathes then hit a 3-pointer to give the Hawks a lead they would
never relinquish. That started a 13-1 Hawk run, which included
seven points from Nivins, that gave SJU a 34-22 lead with under
two minutes left in the half. After a Bison basket, Jawan Carter hit
a 3-pointer from the deep left corner to give the Hawks a 37-24
advantage at the half. Ahmad Nivins had 15 points and nine
rebounds, Calathes scored 14 and Rob Ferguson had 11 points.
INSIDE INFO: SJU players might be hearing the words, “pass it
inside” more than they have in the past few years, with frontcourt
players Rob Ferguson and Ahmad Nivins already proving to be the
main scoring threats. This is a marked change from the guard-dominated teams of the last few years. Ferguson and Nivins have lived
up to that billing so far with a pair of double-figure games. Nivins
currently leads the team with 18.0 ppg while Ferguson is scoring
14.7 ppg.
DEE-FENSE: The Hawks turned up the defense against Bucknell and
that was one of the keys to the win. Freshman D.J. Rivera came off
the bench to harrass the Bison offense and record four steals. The
freshman earned high praise from Phil Martelli as he called
Rivera’s effort “Barley-like”, referring to former Hawk Tyrone Barley
(2000-04), who was known for his tenacious defense.
DOWN BUT NOT OUT: The injury bug bit the Hawks early as freshman Darrin Govens suffered a fractured hand in just 12 minutes of
action in the opener vs. Fairfield. The guard broke the fourth
metacarpal of his right hand and underwent surgery on Nov. 17. His
timetable for return to the court is still undetermined, but he has
begun rehabilitation and will be evaluated on a weekly basis.
NOTICING NIVINS: Ahmad Nivins lived up to the high expectations
with a career-high 20 points in the win over Fairfield. The sophomore made his first five shots of the second half en route to scoring 15 points in that period. He finished with nine rebounds and
made 7-of-9 shots from the field. He followed that with 19 points
on 8-for-11 shooting at Lafayette, and a 15-point, 9-rebound game
against Bucknell.
BALANCING ACT: Five Hawks scored in double figures at Lafayette,
including freshmen Jawan Carter (18) and Garrett Williamson
(11). The 81 points scored by SJU was the most since an 82-51 win
over St. Bonaventure on Feb. 4, 2006.
GIVEAWAYS: Turnovers continue to plague the Hawks. In fact,
they’ve had more turnovers than their opponents in all three games,
with a high of 22 in the season opener. SJU had only five in the first
half at Lafayette, but committed 16 in the second half, including
four in the final two minutes that allowed Lafayette to close to within five points.
FRESH FACES: Phil Martelli brought in another stellar recruiting
class this year. Freshmen Darrin Govens, D.J. Rivera and Garrett
Williamson held three of the five spots on the Pennsylvania AllState 1st Team as chosen by Associated Press. Rounding out the
highly-recognized class, Jawan Carter was an All-State honoree
and Delaware’s Player of the Year, while Rockwell Moody garnered
Virginia Independent Schools All-State recognition. Four of the
players were 1,000-point scorers in their scholastic careers- Carter
(2,462); Govens (1,598), Williamson (1,349) Rivera (1,122). The
four combined amassed a total of 6,531 points. SJU’s recruits also
come from succesful high school programs. Carter (Tatnall
School), Williamson (Lower Merion) and Moody (Bishop O’Connell)
saw their teams each win state titles while Govens’ Chester squad
reached the title game (vs. Lower Merion) and Rivera’s NeumannGoretti team captured the Philadelphia Catholic League title.
ON THE LINE: Saint Joseph’s led the nation in free throw percentage last season (79.9 percent), but are without three players from
that squad who shot 79 percent or better. But despite those missing players, the Hawks have gotten off to a good start from the line,
making 74.4 percent. All five starters are shooting 70 percent or
better.
PERIMETER PLAY: SJU entered the season without that defined 3point threat that they’ve had over the past few years. But the Hawks
have knocked down the three’s “by committee”, making 47.5 percent as a team. Rob Ferguson leads the way hitting 8-of-11 for a
blistering 72.7 percent. Jawan Carter has made 41.7 percent of his
three’s, which included a 4-for-5 effort at Lafayette.
FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS: Jawan Carter is the first freshman to start at point guard since Jameer Nelson did so in 2000-01.
Carter, who hails from the same hometown as Nelson, (Chester,
PA), finished his high school career at the Tatnall School as
Delaware’s all-time leading scorer with 2,464 points.
GUARDED OPTIMISM: The Hawks are starting two freshmen Jawan Cart e r and Garrett Wi l l i a m s o n - in the backcourt.
Classmates Darrin Govens and D.J. Rivera were the first two
guards off the bench, but Govens’ injury will change that rotation.
PAT’S PLAY: The Hawks are looking for big things from 6-10 guard
Pat Calathes. The junior came on strong at the end of last year,
averaging 10.7 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.4 assists in the final
seven games. He had four double-figure scoring games, shot 48.2
percent (27-for-56) from the field and made 15 of 16 free throws
during that span. He’s gotten off to a good start with three doublefigure scoring games to average 12.3 ppg, while grabbing 6.3
rebounds per game.
YOUTH BE SERVED: Phil Martelli is putting one of his youngest
teams on the floor this year, with five freshmen on the squad of 14.
Only three returning players - Rob Ferguson, Pat Calathes, and
Ahmad Nivins- averaged double figures in minutes last season.
Ferguson averaged 30.6 minutes per game, with Nivins seeing 22.7
minutes and Calathes posting just 17 per game. The freshmen have
already seen ample playing time and on a number of instances,
Jawan Carter, D.J. Rivera and Garrett Williamson have been on
the floor at the same time.
CHESTER PIPELINE: Jawan Carter is not the only Hawk freshman
with the Chester, PA, ties. Darrin Govens played for Chester High
School and was the Class 4A Pennsylvania Player of the Year while
finishing his career with 1,598 points. Carter and Govens are distant cousins and have been friends since they were children.
NO HARM, NO FOUL: Phil Martelli was concerned about the ability of Rob Ferguson and Ahmad Nivins to stay out of foul trouble to
ensure that each sees quality time on the floor. So far, it hasn’t been
an issue as the players have seven fouls each this season. At
Lafayette, Ferguson didn’t get whistled for his second foul until
there were two minutes left in the game, and Nivins earned his third
with just 28 seconds to play.
DEAN OF COACHES: Phil Martelli owns the most Atlantic 10 wins
among active coaches with 114. His winning percentage in conference games (.647) is also the highest among active coaches who
have been in the league for more than one season. Martelli owns the
longest tenure at one school of any of the league’s coaches. Only
Jim Baron of Rhode Island has been in the A-10 longer (14 years),
but it’s been at two schools, St. Bonaventure and URI.
PRESEASON PICKS: The Hawks were picked to finish eighth in the
Atlantic 10, in the preseason voting of media and coaches. In 200506, SJU finished fifth in the conference after being picked sixth in
the preseason. The Hawks took that even one step better, reaching
the Atlantic 10 title game and falling two points short to Xavier.
Freshman Jawan Carter was named to the 2006-07 Preseason
Atlantic 10 All-Rookie Team.
LONE STAR: Artur Surov is the only senior on the Hawks’ squad.
Arvydas Lidzius entered SJU the same year as Surov, but he sat out
last season to concentrate on academics and is classified as a junior this year. Surov and Lidzius are the last remaining players from
the 2003-04 NCAA Elite Eight team. Rob Ferguson was also here at
SJU that year, but redshirted the season.
SIGN HIM UP: Idris (pronounced E-driss) Hilliard signed a national letter of intent to attend Saint Joseph’s and will enroll in the
University in the fall of 2007. “We are delighted to add Idris to our
program. He is first, and foremost, a terrific young man with an
exceptional work ethic. He has the multiple skills that lead me to
believe he will have a successful career here at Saint Joseph’s,” said
Martelli. Hilliard, a 6-7, 205-pound forward from Roselle, NJ, and
The Hun School (Princeton, NJ), was an All-State Prep First Team
selection in 2006. He averaged 17.0 points and 7.0 rebounds per
game, helping his team to a 17-9 record. Hilliard, who averaged
15.0 points as a sophomore, earned 2006 All-League and All-Prep
honors, while also being named the 2006 Player of the Year by the
Princeton Packet. He is currently listed among the Rivals.com Top
150 players for 2007.

What Phil’s Saying...
(on Bucknell win): “I wanted our team to accept the dare, because I
thought this was a toughness dare... I dared them before the game to
take a toughness test. And that's what that took. We have a long way
to go in terms of basketball, but at least for the toughness part of it, I'll
take it and we can build on it.
(on D.J. Rivera’s defense against Bucknell): “He’s a fierce competitor.
Certainly at the defensive end of the floor you’re going to get maximum effort.. You have to look at the tape to figure out how he got two
of those balls. But the two balls he came up, and this is with the greatest reverence, that was like Tyrone Barley. One second the guy had the
ball and all of a sudden he (D.J) had it. I was happy with the toughness at that point.”
(on Rob Ferguson and Ahmad Nivins):
“I think at the end of the year, those two guys have to be in the discussion for all-league positions. That’s what I think has to happen if we’re
to have success. They are both foul-prone.. and we can’t afford to have
them sitting on the bench for long periods of time. The bottom line is at the end of the year, you have to be talking about two of the best 15
players in the league.”
“This team has a good work attitude. They’ll do what we ask them to
do. It’s a team that will struggle to score, but a team that will certainly
compete.”
THREE FOR ALL: SJU owns a streak of 396 straight games with at
least one 3-pointer made, a string which began at the start of the
1993-94 season. The last game in which a Hawks’ team did not hit
a “three” was at Southwest Missouri State on Mar. 18, 1993.
is expected that men's and women's basketball will need to play
one full season off campus during the heaviest construction period,
but both squads will retain access to the basketball center and new
practice area.
NO PLACE LIKE HOME: SJU played only had nine games in Alumni
Memorial Fieldhouse last season and compiled a 5-4 record. This year,
the Hawks will have 11 home games on campus. Heading into this season SJU owned a 53-8 re c o rd in the Fieldhouse over the previous six
years (86.8 winning percentage). During the course of 57 seasons in the
Fieldhouse, the Hawks have won 80 percent of their contests, with the
overall re c o rd now 307-76.
ALL IN THE FAMILY: Coaching certainly runs in the Martelli blood
as the head coach’s two sons are currently working the sidelines.
Oldest son Philip, Jr., a 2003 SJU graduate, is an assistant coach at
Niagara University. Jimmy, a 2005 graduate of Dickinson College, is
assisting at Randolph-Macon College.
HALLMARK OF SUCCESS: Entering this season, SJU had compiled a
141-54 record in the past six seasons, with six consecutive postseason
berths.
NEW FACES: Phil Martelli has two new faces on the bench with firstyear assistant coaches David Duda and Doug Overton. Duda served as
the head coach at Martelli’s alma mater Widener for the past eight seasons, where he compiled a 143-68 record with two conference titles and
three trips to the NCAA Division III To u rnament. Overton is a familiar
face in Philadelphia basketball, starring at La Salle and then playing in
the NBA for 11 seasons, concluding his career with the L.A. Clippers. An
All-Big 5 selection, he also played for the Philadelphia 76ers and came
to SJU after a year as the director of player development for that team.
Former SJU standout Mark Bass is the veteran on the staff, as he is now
in his eighth year with Martelli. Duda and Overton replaced Monte Ross,
who is now the head coach at the University of Delaware, and Mike Rice,
who is associate coach at the University of Pittsburgh.
WAITING ON THE SIDELINE: Philadelphia native Tasheed Carr will
sit out this season after transferring to the Hawks from Iowa State.
The 6-4 guard averaged 5.8 points and 2.2 rebounds as the
Cyclones’ sixth man last season, and was named to the Big 10 AllBench Team. Carr attended University City H.S., but then graduated
from Mt. Zion Academy in North Carolina. Carr can practice with
SJU and will have two years of eligibility left.
IF YOU BUILD IT....: An expansion of Alumni Memorial Fieldhouse
and a dedicated center for men's and women's basketball highlight
a comprehensive plan for enhancing varsity and recreational athletics at Saint Joseph's. The total project will proceed in three phases
over the next several years. Phase one will be the construction of a
17,700-square foot center adjacent to the existing Fieldhouse that
will house state-of-the-art facilities for men's and women's basketball. The center is to include new locker rooms, coaches' offices,
meeting areas, and dedicated academic and study space. Phase two
will see the relocation of at least five varsity sports and the student
recreation/intramural program by 2009 to SJU's Maguire Campus
(Episcopal Academy), followed by renovations to the existing Rec
Center to house new athletic offices along with locker rooms and
meeting space for the remaining varsity sports. A permanent practice area for men's and women's basketball will also be added to the
Rec Center during phase two. Phase three is the expansion of the
Fieldhouse to include a full-service concourse around the perimeter
of the arena and an increase in capacity by at least 1,000 seats. It
CRADLE OF COACHES: The Saint Joseph’s coaching connection is
an impressive one. A total of seven Saint Joseph’s graduates have
gone on to become head coaches in the NBA, and SJU is now tied
with Illinois for second on the list of universities with alums that
have served as NBA head coaches. Indiana tops the list with 11
graduates that have coached in the league. Below is the list of former Hawks who have been NBA head coaches.

“HAWKTALK”: Phil Martelli’s “HawkTalk” will return for its 11th season
in 2006-07. The most unique coach’s television show in college basketball, it was named the “Best Coach’s Show in the Nation” by The
Sporting News. Martelli’s show combines a “Tonight Show” format with
unique guests and just a few basketball highlights. The show will air
locally on Comcast SportsNet beginning in January.
INTERNET: Information for Saint Joseph’s basketball is found at SJU’s
athletic website, www.sjuhawks.com with game notes, and live in-game
statistics for all Hawk home games, and selected road games. The
newly redesigned site introduces video streaming for the first time this
year. Through Hawks All-Access, fans can watch and listen to every
game from Alumni Memorial Fieldhouse.
THE HAWK
The Saint Joseph’s Hawk mascot has been flapping its wings for more than a half a century, having
celebrated its golden anniversary in 2005-06.
One of the most famous mascots in college
sports, the Hawk is best known for staying in constant motion by flapping its wings throughout every
basketball game and representing the Saint Joseph’s
motto, “The Hawk Will Never Die”.
The idea for the Hawk as a mascot was originated
by Jim Brennan during the 1954-55 season.
Brennan, an ex-Marine and SJU cheerleader, at first
wanted to secure an actual hawk, but later switched
to the costume idea. The student government raised
the 120 dollars needed to buy the initial costume, which Brennan donned for three
years. He made his debut as the Hawk on January 4, 1956, a 69-56 win over La Salle
at the Palestra. The Hawk has not missed a men’s basketball game since that first season.
In addition to the constant flapping, the Hawk is also recognized by its “flying” in figure eights around the court during timeouts. The constant motion, coupled with the
scrappy play of the University’s athletic teams, helped to spawn the school’s familiar
slogan “The Hawk Will Never Die!” A few years ago, ESPN used a “flap-o-meter” on the
national telecast of a Saint Joseph’s game to estimate that the Hawk flaps its wings
3,500 times during a regulation game.
The Hawk is unique because it is one of the few mascots in the nation that travels
to every game, and the student who holds the position gains a full scholarship. The student, who is selected through an interview process during the previous spring semester, also serves as a team manager for the men’s basketball team and travels with the
squad.
Jim Miller is this year’s Hawk mascot, and the 30th student to wear the wings. He
is a junior public administration major from Broomall, PA.

GAME RECAPS
SJU 63- Fairfield 47: The Hawks won their season opener for the second
year in a row, defeating Fairfield, 63-47 at Alumni Memorial Fieldhouse.
Ahmad Nivins scored a career-high 20 points, with 15 of them in the second half as the Hawks maintained a double-digit lead through the final 20
minutes. Rob Ferguson added 14 points as the Hawks put their new inside
game into play. Pat Calathes scored 13 and grabbed a career-high nine
rebounds, as the Hawks shot 58.8 percent in the second half alone. The
game was turnover-ridden as SJU committed 22 while Fairfield had 16.
SJU led by as many as 18 points late in the game.
SJU 81- Lafayette 73: Solid shooting and a balanced scoring attack helped
the Hawks to an 81-73 win over Lafayette to improve to 2-0. SJU went 27of-49 from the floor (55.1 percent) and had five players in double figures.
Rob Ferguson and Ahmad Nivins led the way for the Hawks, scoring 19
points apiece with freshman Jawan Carter hitting for a personal best 18.
After a back-and-forth opening 14 minutes of play, the Hawks began to pull
away. Leading 26-24, the Hawks went on an 18-6 run over the next five
minutes, capped by a pair of free throws by Carter. SJU would enter halftime up 44-32 despite the Leopards hitting 62 percent of their shots. In the
second half, Saint Joseph's quickly opened an 18-point lead, and held the
same advantage, 60-42, at the 11:11 mark. The Hawks committed 16
turnovers in the second half and allowed Lafayette to fight back to within
five, 78-73, at :28. But SJU hung on as Pat Calathes converted three free
throws to seal the win, as he finished with 10 points and a career-high nine
rebounds.
SJU 63- Bucknell 53: SJU put together an impressive 63-53 win over
Bucknell, to end a two-game losing streak against the Bison. The Hawks
trailed in the early going, 18-12, nine minutes into the game, but then
turned up the intensity on defense, forcing three straight Bison turnovers
and tying the game, 21-21, with 5:49 to play. Pat Calathes then hit a 3pointer to give the Hawks a lead they would never relinquish. That started
a 13-1 Hawk run, which included seven points from Nivins, that gave SJU
a 34-22 lead with under two minutes left in the half. After a Bison basket,
Jawan Carter hit a 3-pointer from the deep left corner to give the Hawks a
37-24 advantage at the half. Ahmad Nivins had 15 points and nine
rebounds, Calathes scored 14 and Rob Ferguson had 11 points.
