Coach Phil Martelli Jr. Show, Media Minutes, & Pressers

[AlienAiden]

and like a fool I don't feel like He is looking for his next coaching gig...might be around a while...certainly more than a year and a half like Odom

I feel the same way. It is awesome to have a hungry young coach that wants to do well for VCU and the city as a whole.

Hey Hey! A rare comment from you here. Ha! Are you feeling like I do about Coach Martelli? I told my wife last night that things were looking fantastic when she asked about him.

I do feel good about our new coach. I know some wondered (were disappointed?) when he was first announced. Wondered about his resume, the breadth and depth of experience. But while he's 43 years old, I think he's 86 in basketball I.Q. He grew up with one of the best college coaches as his father - what do you think they talked about at breakfast & dinner? Bet he was diagramming plays when he was 10. But I like the game he coaches and he's assembled a strong roster in short order. Finally, like Ramdog said, if he is successful here I don't think he's constantly looking for the next job. I think he wants this one to be where he shines. Like his father said "This is a special place" and I think Coach wants to make it even more special. Okay AA, I'm headed back to off-season mode now. Hold down the fort.

I like the staff he is putting together too. Ryan Daly is all in and he is a young coach that can still play ball. Brought his brother back in and The Mayor. Cole is a great recruiter. Coach Martelli threw out the first pitch last night but so far he is hitting home runs.

I LOVE that Coach Cole's main point of interest/influence is the NY/Philly swath.....TONS of great ballers from there. Exactly the kind of guys who tend to do well at VCU
Jamir Watkins, Bones, Samir Daughtry, Melvin Johnson, Terry Larrier...just to name a few....I'm honestly still a little bummed Jayden Reid ended up at NW.

Jennings during the first 17 games: 2.4 ppg, 2.3 rpg, 0.8 spg, 31.1% shooting (18.8% 3-point shooting)

Jennings during the last 18 games: 3.0 ppg, 2.3 rpg, 41.1% shooting (66.7% 3-point shooting)

That's the mark of a player who has found his focus. In conference play his stats per 40 minutes were 10 ppg, 7.9 rpg, 1.9 apg, and 1.1 spg with adjusted shooting percentages of 42.9% overall and 58.3% from 3-point range.

I think the game started slowing down for him.

TRENTON MAKES THE WORLD TAKES

We've certainly had some good players from that area. I hope we also have some contacts in Toledo and NC, we've had a few players from those places too.

FYI, George Templeton, host of Rams Rewind, is scheduled to interview Coach Martelli for the podcast Friday morning. Assuming that schedule plays out, I’ll be publishing the episode on Friday afternoon at the latest. There is a LOT to talk about, obviously.

Looking forward to it.

Stumbled upon this when I was reading an article about UVA increasing ticket prices. Looks like the info on Coach Martelli's contract is out and it is very similar to Coach Odom's.

The details on VCU Basketball coach Phil Martelli's contract

The new VCU Basketball coach, Phil Martelli Jr., is, as expected, getting paid a smidge less than his predecessor, Ryan Odom.

For years, we heard Phil Sr. (And others, like Schmidt) say “VCU is the best job in the A10… if I had those resources…”

How funny would it be if that was true all along? Hope that’s the chip he has passed along to Phil Jr.

Feels like it with who we’re landing early.
