2015-16 PRESEASON NOTES
• Phil Martelli enters his 21st season as the head coach of the Hawks with a 375-‐265 career record. He owns a 185-‐137 record in Atlantic 10 play for the most conference wins of any active coach.
• Junior All-‐America candidate DeAndre’ Bembry leads a group of four returning starters from Saint Joseph’s team that went 13-‐18 last year. Joining Bembry as returning starters are senior forward Isaiah Miles
(10.7 ppg), sophomore James Demery(6.7), and junior center Javon Baumann(3.6). Senior guard Aaron Brown was the Hawks’ sixth man and averaged 9.3 ppg.
• Bembry was the leading scorer in the Atlantic 10 in overall (17.7) and conference games (19.1) in 2014-‐15 becoming the first player in SJU history to finish the season as the conference’s scoring champion. He averaged a team-‐best 7.7 rebounds per game and scored double fig-‐ ures in 28 games, with six double-‐doubles.
• Bembry, an A-‐10 All-‐Conference First Team honoree in 2014, also led the nation in minutes played with 38.6 per game, seeing 40 minutes of action in 10 games.
• Also returning for SJU this season is graduate student Papa Ndao, a 6-‐8 forward who sat out last year due to a medical issue. Ndao has played in 85 career games for the Hawks while making seven starts. • Making his Saint Joseph’s debut will be redshirt freshman Markell Lodge, who sat out last year to concentrate on academics. A 6-‐8 for-‐ ward from Pace Academy (N.C.), Lodge has a vertical leap of 39 inches, which is the highest in the program’s history.
• Joining the Hawks this season are a pair of freshmen from Philadelphia -‐ Chris Clover(St. Joseph’s Prep) and Lamarr Kimble
(Neumann-‐Goretti) -‐ as well as Italian import Pierfrancesco Oliva
(Bergen Catholic). Clover, a 6-‐3 guard, was the Most Valuable Player of the Philadelphia Catholic League, averaging 20.7 points to rank fifth in the city in scoring. Kimble, a 6-‐0 point guard, was an All-‐Catholic League First Team honoree after averaging 14.5 points and helping Neumann-‐Goretti to its second straight PIAA Class AAA championship. Oliva, a 6-‐8 forward from Taranto, Italy, earned All-‐State Third Team honors at Bergen Catholic while scoring 15.9 ppg.
• The Hawks will participate in the Hall of Fame Tip-‐Off, hosting Niagara and Buffalo at Hagan Arena, on November 13 and 15, respec-‐ tively. SJU will continue play in the tournament at Mohegan Sun Arena by facing Florida on Nov. 21 and then either Old Dominion or Purdue on Nov. 22.
• Saint Joseph’s will have first-‐time meetings with two teams this year -‐ Columbia and Illinois State. The Hawks will also take part in a Big 5 doubleheader at The Palestra in honor of the 60th anniversary of Philadelphia’s famed league, taking on Penn on January 20, with La Salle and Temple facing off in the other game.
DeAndre’ Bembry led the A-‐10 in scoring in 2014 with 17.7 points per game.
2015-16 PREVIEW
What do you see as the strengths and weaknesses of this squad?
I start with the quality of people on the team. They have followed
those that have gone before them in the way that they handle
their business – with their practice habits and their approach to
coaching or to being coached and to competing. That’s definitely
a strength.
I think there’s a bubbling discontent with how last year went. We
cannot become desperate or anxious – we have to become more
efficient. There were so many close games and we didn’t do the
job. But that starts with me. I have to do more with them
whether it’s how we practice, or how we develop our depth. And
we might have to play a different style with the 30-‐second shot
clock.
Acceptance of their weaknesses is a strength. A weakness of this
team is perimeter shooting but they have put in a lot of work to
overcome that.
Size is going to be an issue with this team. If Papa (Ndao) comes
back healthy, he has to help in the frontcourt but he’s more
equipped to be a wing player. The size is with Javon (Baumann)
and Jai (Williams), but is that the right way to play for us? Do we
play smaller? I think it is a strength that we have combinations
we have to look at. The unknown is who has gotten better. Have
we collectively gotten better? Along with the players the coach-‐
ing staff has to answer the challenge too.
What difference will the 30-‐second shot clock make?
I don’t think it’s going to make any difference at all. I think at the
end of the shot clock you’re going to see more bad shots. Teams
will change defensively and I think you’ll see teams delaying pres-‐
sure and probably playing a little more zone. It takes more time
to get a quality shot against zone.
What is the biggest area of improvement needed?
Obviously it’s our shooting. We can’t struggle to score like last
year. It hurt us. It’s an easy game if you can score. But if we can’t
score, we’re not beating anybody. That’s the biggest challenge
and that’s what we spent all of our Spring on, improving shoot-‐
ing strokes. Now we’ve been looking at the pattern and style of
play that will mask that weakness and highlight a strength, which
hopefully will be depth.
Do you have depth this year?
I’m hoping we do. It’s got to measure out. I’d like to play with
eight guys. But I also like to win. So whatever gives us best
chance of winning – if it’s an eight-‐man rotation, if it’s a 10-‐man
rotation, or if it’s a six-‐man rotation. It’s got to be what it’s got to
be because at the end of the day you don’t get a badge for play-‐
ing guys – you get a badge for winning games.
What does DeAndre’ need to do to elevate his game and help the
team?
His shooting stroke has to get tighter. It has to stay consistent so
when he does get worn down he can maintain that same shoot-‐
ing stroke. That’s important for us this season and is important
for him for his future. His turnovers have to come down and
again, that’s important for us and is important for his future.
These things are tied together. His foul shooting is a big area of
concern... it just doesn’t make sense. But the thing that I like
about DeAndre’ is that despite the successes he’s had with win-‐
ning an Atlantic 10 Championship, being the top freshman in the
A-‐10, and a first team All-‐ League player – he really was the best
player in the Atlantic 10 and the Big 5 last year -‐ he has stayed
very humble. He lives in the day.
Talk about the freshmen –
(Lamarr Kimble)
“Fresh” has so many wins under his belt. The thing that I’ve
observed about him is that the ball’s never stuck – the ball’s out
of his hand and goes to the next person. Whether it’s on his high
school team or traveling the circuit with his AAU team, he’s a
‘blender’. He doesn’t need to star and he doesn’t look to star. He
plays the game for the reason of his team winning. If his team
wins, then he takes value in them winning. We’re going to have
to accelerate his physical conditioning to play point guard, with
the demands of playing that position for a freshman. We’re going
to have to tighten everything up and speed everything up with
him.
(Chris Clover)
Chris is a scorer and is physically ready to play college basketball.
He has an incredible work ethic and he can score in a lot of dif-‐
ferent ways. I think that he is very willing to be mentored by
DeAndre’ and James. He has a high basketball IQ, as do Lamarr
and Checco (Oliva). Chris is going to be counted on to score some
baskets and to ride out some rough spots, which he will have
because he’s a freshman.
(Pierfrancesco Oliva)
Checco has a view of the game at the offensive end that is very
mature. Defensively, he’s going to learn and he’s going to have to
be a studier of scouting reports. He has the best shooting form
on the team. The gold standard for us is Pat Carroll’s shooting
form and Checco’s form, not results, is better than Pat’s. He’s
also a very creative passer, like Halil Kanacevic was. Checco is a
very skilled young guy.
(Markell Lodge)
Markell is really excited. Every day he walks into the gym is like
Christmas Eve for a five-‐ year old. Everyone knows about his
jumping prowess but he’s a very good defender and a very good
rim protector. He can play against bigger guys because of his ath-‐
letic gifts. An area that I need to work on with him is that he has
to catch the ball cleanly. But he’s not coming here to be the next
Ron Roberts – he’s coming here to be Markell Lodge.
Talk about some of the returning players -‐
(Aaron Brown)
I’d like to see him become more consistent in practice. If things
worked where Markell and Checco and Papa all add to the front-‐
court, then Aaron may move to the wing. The thing I like about
Aaron is he’s an honorable guy. He recognizes the flaws and he’ll
allow us to coach him, but at the same time, he’s fiercely com-‐
petitive.
(James Demery)
If people want to root for somebody, you root for a guy with
James’ character to have success. He’s a terrific young guy. But
he’s got to be better. He played and really, I was in shock as we
went through the season that he wasn’t one of the best freshman
in the A-‐10. But it is what it is. We have to see some improve-‐
ment.
(Brendan Casper)
He was needed at times and did some nice things. If he can add
to the depth, that would be tremendous. I love his confidence.
He’s another worker. He looks forward to the opportunity to be
in the gym. Almost everyone on this team does and that’s a good
sign and a good starting point.
(Shavar Newkirk)
I think there’s going to be a very healthy competition for the
point guard spot. Shavar needs to shoot the ball better. He’s got
to make college decisions at the rim. He has to flow a little bit
more. I think that he’s better than he showed last year. Again,
with his character and the work that he’s put in – you want good
things to happen for him.
(Jai Williams and Javon Baumann)
There’s going to be an opportunity and it’s going to be what they
make of it. Jai and Javon are big bodies but they’re not going to
be out there to just be a fifth guy. There’s going to be opportuni-‐
ties to present themselves and we’re going to need them to step
forward. – as we are with everybody.
What are your thoughts on the Atlantic 10 this season?
I see us probably in the middle or the top of the middle. We have
the best player. Many teams have a lot back. It’s a deep league
and certainly should be an energized league this year.
What do you think about the schedule?
Anytime you can start your schedule with likes of Villanova,
Temple and Florida and then add in Illinois State and Virginia
Tech, it’s strong. But it really comes down to three or four games.
I say it all the time -‐ does the non-‐conference portion of our
schedule prepare us for the Atlantic 10? If our results warrant it,
our schedule will never prevent us from being on the board at the
end. Our wins and losses might, but our schedule will not. We’re
very aware of our students wanting to see us play at home and
hopefully our fan base will also support us at home which could
make a big difference at the end of the year.
2015-16 PREVIEW
Q & A with Phil Martelli
In 20 seasons as head coach at Saint Joseph’s,
Phil Martelli has built a program that is consis-‐ tently one of the top in the conference, a perenni-‐ al post-‐season participant and a key player on the national scene. In doing so, he has earned his place among the top coaches in the school’s storied history and becoming one of the more respected coaches in the game.
Martelli is the Hawks' all-‐time leader in career victories with a mark of 375-‐ 265. Setting the school record for wins in a season (30) in 2004, Martelli has guid-‐ ed SJU to 20 or more victories eight times in 20 seasons, which is the most for any Hawks' coach. He is 185-‐137 in Atlantic 10 play, which is the most conference wins for any active coach.
He has also served the game of basketball as a Past President of the NABC’s Board of Directors as well as a being a member of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Ethics Coalition.
Martelli has seen four of his former Hawks play in the NBA, with Langston Galloway of the New York Knicks becoming the most recent, as the undrafted player earned All-‐Rookie Second Team honors in 2015. The coach has also had three players chosen in the NBA Draft -‐ Jameer Nelson (2004), Delonte West (2004) and Ahmad Nivins (2009).
Martelli has been at his best when it counts the most as his 17 postseason wins (6 NCAA, 11 NIT) are the most in school history. Martelli ranks first among Hawk coaches with a .608 postseason winning percentage (17-‐12) and has taken SJU to the postseason in 10 of the last 15 years, and 12 times in his 20 seasons at SJU.
The 2014-‐15 Hawks were challenged after losing three All-‐Conference players from the 2014 A-‐10 champion team, but saw the emergence of sophomore DeAndre’ Bembry as one of the league’s top players, as he topped the A-‐10 in scoring and earned All-‐Conference First Team honors.
In 2013-‐14, Martelli and his veteran team turned in one of the more memo-‐ rable seasons in school history, adding another A-‐10 Championship to his résumé. The Hawks, led by seniors Langston Galloway, Halil Kanacevic and Ronald Roberts, Jr., won 20 of 26 games from mid-‐December and captured the school’s third conference title and its first since 1997. SJU went 24-‐10 and reached the NCAA Tournament for the sixth time under Martelli, falling to eventual national champion Connecticut in overtime.
The 2012-‐13 season saw an experienced Saint Joseph’s squad reach the Atlantic 10 Quarterfinals and earn a second consecutive NIT bid, for the 11th postseason berth in Martelli’s career. Among the highlights of the season was a win over nationally-‐ranked Notre Dame in the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic.
In 2011-‐12, Martelli and the Hawks won 20 games and returned to the post-‐ season by earning an NIT bid. Saint Joseph's boasted one of the most balanced squads in school history, as five different players received Atlantic 10 honors, the most ever for the Hawks. During the course of the season, SJU scored two wins over Top 25 teams (Creighton and Temple), while Martelli became SJU’s all-‐time leader in victories, breaking the mark held by Bill Ferguson (309).
In 2010-‐11, Martelli guided the youngest squad in his career, which included three freshman starters. The Hawks made an exciting late-‐season run, earning a berth in the Atlantic 10 Tournament with a win in the final regular-‐season game, and won two games in the tourney to reach the semifinals. He also reached a milestone with his 300th career victory over Duquesne.
Martelli’s 2009-‐10 squad went 11-‐20 coming off a 2008-‐09 season that saw the Hawks go 17-‐15 for his ninth consecutive winning season. Among the high-‐ lights was Ahmad Nivins earning AP Honorable Mention All-‐America honors and becoming the third Hawk in six years to garner the Atlantic 10’s Player of the Year Award, while also being chosen by the Dallas Mavericks in the 2009 NBA Draft.
The 2007-‐08 Hawks reached the Atlantic 10 Championship game for the third time in four years and earned the program’s 19th bid to the NCAA Tournament, and Martelli’s fifth. The 11th-‐seeded Hawks fell to sixth-‐seeded Oklahoma in the NCAA First Round, while ending the year at 21-‐13.
He reached a significant milestone in 2006-‐07 when he surpassed Hall of Famer Jack Ramsay (234) for second place on the school’s all-‐time list for wins, guiding a young squad to 18 victories.
Martelli turned in another top-‐notch coaching performance in 2005-‐06 as the Hawks reached the Atlantic 10 Championship game for the second year in a row. SJU was rewarded with its sixth consecutive postseason bid, but saw the year come to an end in the NIT Second Round, closing with a 19-‐14 mark.
In 2004-‐05, Martelli 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, the 2004-‐05 Hawks struggled early on, but Martelli guided SJU to 21 wins in the calendar year of 2005 to finish 24-‐12. SJU posted the conference’s best record (14-‐2), won its fifth straight regular-‐season title to tie the league record, earned the A-‐10’s top seed and reached the title game. He was named the Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year for the second straight
season and the fourth time in his career. SJU earned its fifth consecutive post-‐ season bid and made an exciting six-‐game run in the NIT, falling on a last-‐second shot in the championship game.
In 2003-‐04, Martelli guided a focused and unselfish squad that became the most compelling story in college basketball. The Hawks went undefeated in the regular season, reached the pinnacle as the top-‐ranked team in the nation, earned the school’s first-‐ever number-‐one seed in the NCAA Tournament, and advanced to the Elite Eight, falling just two points short of the Final Four. Jameer Nelson was the consensus National Player of the Year and with teammate Delonte West, were both first-‐round selections in the NBA Draft. SJU opened the season ranked 12th in the polls and took the top spot on March 8, 2004, for the first time ever, while finishing fifth in the polls, for SJU’s highest final ranking since 1966. It was a school-‐record fourth straight season, and fifth in Martelli’s tenure, that the Hawks were ranked in the AP poll.
Martelli joined with Nelson to sweep the national coach and player awards, marking one of the few times in history that the top player and coach were from the same school. In addition to the national awards, he was the Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year for the third time and a repeat winner of the Big 5 Coach of the Year.
One of the more colorful coaches in the nation, Martelli’s personality, wit and accessibility have always made him a media favorite. His popularity grew to an even higher level in 2004, as the Hawks remained unbeaten and the coach was besieged by media requests from all over the country. Because of this, the Saint Joseph’s story was well documented by the Philadelphia press and told by count-‐ less media outlets nationwide.
Martelli is not only passionate for coaching, but also for his work in the com-‐ munity.
