2006-07 SAINT JOSEPH S BASKETBALL - PG. 3 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 233-133, 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 two to surpass Hall of Famer Jack Ramsay s total of 234. Martelli is also fourth in winning percentage (.637) 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 118-64 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 To u rnament teams in both 1974-75 and 1975-76, serving as team co-captain as a s e n i o r. 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.

2006-07 SAINT JOSEPH S BASKETBALL - PG. 4 LAST TIME OUT: Despite a strong start and a lead it held most of the game, Saint Joseph s went cold from the field and committed key turnovers in the final minutes as George Washington rallied to win, 74-65. GW went on an 18-3 run in the final 6:56 while the Hawks were without a field goal during that span and committed four of their 20 turnovers. The second half was close all the way through, with the teams tied seven times. On six of those occasions when GW would tie the game, SJU would answer back with a big bucket by Pat Calathes, Rob Ferguson or Ahmad Nivins. After the seventh tie at 62-62, the Colonials took their first lead of the game on a layup at 3:20. GW went ahead, 68-63, and Calathes hit two free throws to pull the Hawks within 68-65 at 1:23, but a putback gave GW a 70-65 lead at :52. Calathes, who made six consecutive shots, finished with a career-high 21 points on 6-for-7 shooting. Ferguson added 14 and Nivins scored 12, with 10 in the second half. TUR-NO-VERS: As Phil Martelli has said repeatedly, the Hawks can give themselves a chance if they limit the turnovers. The win over was a perfect example as SJU had only nine in the game. Even more impressively, the Hawks only had three turnovers in the second half, and were without any in the final 15 minutes of the game. That s a season-low, tying the effort against Duquesne. On the flip side, turnovers cost them the game at GW, as SJU committed 20 in the game, including four critical ones in the last six minutes. In conference games, the Hawks are averaging 12.8 per game - in their non-conference slate, SJU had 16.6 turnovers per game. COLD SPELL: After starting the game with a 15-2 run and hitting its first six shots, the Hawks held the lead at GW until the 3:42 mark. SJU went without a field goal in the final 6:56 and committed four crucial turnovers during that span, while allowing GW to go on an 18-3 run. TWO AGAINST FIVE: A rare occurence happened in the first half at Fordham as Ahmad Nivins and Pat Calathes accounted for all of the Hawks 21 points, with Nivins notching 12 and Calathes tallying nine. Jawan Carter became the first Hawk other than the duo to reach the scoring column when he hit a 3-pointer at 18:19 of the second half. One telling statistic for the first half was that third leading scorer Rob Ferguson did not have a shot, as he was saddled with three early fouls. 3-POINTS THE HARD WAY: In the seven conference games combined, Ahmad Nivins has converted a total of 12 3-point plays. The Hawks leading scorer is taking advantage of his free throw shooting, as he is hitting 79.4 percent from the line in league games. IMPROVED NUMBERS: With the focus of the offense resting on their shoulders, Ahmad Nivins, Pat Calathes and Rob Ferguson have upped their numbers. Here s a look at last year s compared to this season s: Nivins Calathes Ferguson 05-06 06-07 05-06 06-07 05-06 06-07 Points 6.1 17.1* 4.8 13.3* 10.8 12.2* Rebounds 5.0 7.3* 2.4 6.7* 4.4 5.4* FG%.613.614*.382.468*.398.482* FT%.706.731*.895*.813.844*.826 * career-best statistics INJURY REPORT: Arvydas Lidzius suffered a fracture in the frontal bone over his left eye practice on Jan. 15 and is sidelined indefinitely and will have to wear a protective mask when returns. Edwin Lashley suffered a broken nose in the practice on Jan. 20, but he is cleared to play. PAT S PLAY: Pat Calathes has been a top contributor with his all-around play. The junior has scored double figures in all but four games and has a current streak of eight in a row, including a career-high 21 at GW. Calathes is one of the team s top rebounders and in addition to recording one double-double on the season, has totalled nine rebounds on seven occasions. HONOR ROLL Ahmad Nivins Big 5 Player of the Week (Jan. 15, Jan. 8) Atlantic 10 Co-Player of the Week (Dec. 9) Aeropostale Holiday Festival All-Tournament Team NABC Classic All-Tournament Team D.J. Rivera Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week (Jan. 7) The junior is second on the team in scoring (13.3), rebounding (6.7) and assists (3.1). He also ranks among the A-10 leaders in seven different categories, including rebounding, 3-point and free throw shooting. ON BOARD: The Hawks have turned into a strong rebounding team, with a plus margin in 13 of 19 games. SJU has outrebounded its foes by double digits five times. Ahmad Nivins and Pat Calathes are the top Hawks on the boards with averages of 7.3 and 6.7, respectively. In the first half at GW, the Hawks held a decisive 21-8 margin. POINT TAKEN: Phil Martelli credits assistant coach and former NBA player Doug Overton with his work with the Hawks young guards, particularly with point guards Jawan Carter and Darrin Govens. Martelli was looking for more assertiveness from the point guards and Carter responded with a career-high 20 points in the win over. CITY RIVALRY: Saint Joseph s is 1-0 in the Big 5 after the win over Temple on Jan. 10. Last season, SJU went 3-1 in the Big 5, suffering its lone loss to Villanova in the game that decided the outright title. SJU has won a total of 19 Big 5 titles (9 outright/10 shared), which is second all-time to Temple s 22 titles (5 outright/17 shared). A loss to Penn on Jan. 25, 2005 snapped a 10-game Big 5 winning streak for the Hawks. KEY TO THE CITY: SJU owns a 20-5 record against city teams over the last five seasons (counting this year). This mark counts all games against Philadelphia teams (Drexel included). The Hawks were defeated by Drexel in December of this year, but beat Temple in January. PALESTRA PLAY: With the formation of the Philadelphia Big 5 in 1955, SJU began utilizing The Palestra as a home venue. Since that year, the Hawks have played at least one home game in the historic arena every season. SJU has compiled a 314-149 re c o rd (.678) at The Palestra, with more wins than the pro- ON THE LINE: Despite being the top free throw shooting team in the nation in 05-06 (79.9), it has been one of the Hawks biggest inconsistencies this season. The percentage has improved in league play, with the Hawks now hitting 79.4 percent in conference games.

2006-07 SAINT JOSEPH S BASKETBALL - PG. 5 gram's victory total at Alumni Memorial Fieldhouse (311). The Hawks are playing at the famed building four times this year, having lost to Drexel on Dec. 2. Still to come are games with La Salle (Feb. 10) and Temple (Feb. 22). D.J. S SPARK: D.J. Rivera has been able to often provide the Hawks with a spark off the bench and he did that again at Fordham. Rivera held the Rams leading scorer Marcus Stout to five points in the second half, although Stout broke free on a switch to get the winning layup. Offensively, Rivera scored all 10 of his points in the second half, including a 3-point play with 3:44 to go in regulation and then what looked to be the game-winning putback at :24. KEEPING THE RESOLUTIONS: The Hawks got the New Year off to a solid start with a drastic change in the numbers from the non-conference games. Here are the numbers in the four conference victories, with a comparison to the games prior to Jan. 3: A-10 Wins Non-Conference Scoring 81.5 63.8 Scoring Defense 63.0 61.2 FG% 53.0% 35.4% 3-pt FG% 54.2% 45.7% FT% 88.0% 69.5% Rebounds 34.0 31.6 Turnovers 10.5 16.6 Assists 18.7 11.8 PHIL S FOUR FRESHMEN: With all due respect to other standout groups of freshmen across the country, the Hawks four guards have started to come into their own and make an impact. At Temple, Jawan Carter, Garrett Williamson, D.J. Rivera and Darrin Govens had collectively, one of their best games so far. Rivera and Govens provided a spark off the bench and combined for 15 points in the first as the Hawks came back from an early deficit. Williamson and Rivera shut down Temple s leading scorer Dionte Christmas, limiting him to nine points. Carter ran the offense and scored nine points while handing out four assists. Carter had a season-best game against, scoring 20 points while hitting 4-of-6 3-pointers. IRON MAN: Ahmad Nivins is among the A-10 s leader in minutes played, averaging 34.5 per game to rank sixth. In the last five games, Nivins has averaged 37 minutes (that s including a full 45 in the OT game at Fordham). Impressively, the sophomore has stayed out of foul trouble, with just 17 fouls in those six contests. COMEBACK KIDS: The Hawks fought back from a double-digit deficit at Charlotte to pull out a 75-70 win. It was the largest deficit (13 pts in 1st half; 12 in 2nd) overcome for a win this season. CONFERENCE CALL: In conference games only, the Hawks have three players notching double figures - Ahmad Nivins (19.1 ppg), Pat Calathes (16.1), and Rob Ferguson (13.4). Nivins is shooting 61.4 percent from the field in A-10 contests. WHERE S THE D?: The Hawks defense deserted them against Rhode Island, as they gave up a season-high 86 points. It was the highest total produced against SJU since Gonzaga scored 102 on Dec. 31, 2005. Saint Joseph s allowed the Rams to shoot 53.7 percent, the best effort for an opponent since Ohio hit 60.4 percent on Dec. 10. Heading into the URI game, the Hawks led the A-10 with a scoring defense of 60.2. THE BIG THREE: The Hawks are getting balanced scoring and have had their three leading scorers- Ahmad Nivins, Rob Ferg u s o n and P a t Calathes - provide 61.2 percent of the offense. In fact, there have been 10 games this year in which all three have notched double figures, and the Hawks have won eight of those contests.

(on Pat Calathes): I think that there s progress because he s getting minutes to play. I still think that there s a lot there and opportunities there for him to move his game even further. I give him credit because he s worked hard defensively. He s not afraid to take a shot and he made a big three against their zone (vs. ). (on Ahmad Nivins): We have a basket waiting to happen. I don t know what people are going to do with Ahmad Nivins. (on team s scoring): The scoring has me flabbergasted. Whatever we had against Duquesne (89 pts), 75 against Charlotte and then 80 here (at Temple). I remember years where we didn t get 80 points against Temple in both games. (on Garrett Williamson): Jameer (Nelson) called me this summer and said, Coach, you ve got a guy that I can t get by. I thought who could that possibly be. Jameer said it was Garrett. Garrett has a fire in his belly that really drives him. (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. 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.

2006-07 SAINT JOSEPH S BASKETBALL - PG. 6 NOTING NIVINS: Ahmad Nivins has been named the Big 5 Player of the Week twice this season (Jan. 15, Jan. 8) and has earned the Atlantic 10 honor once (Dec. 9). FERG S FINEST: SJU s coaches told Rob Ferguson he needs to be more aggressive on offense, and he responded with the kind of game against Duquesne that has been expected of him. The junior made seven of his first eight shots to score 17 points in the first half alone, en route to tying his career-high with 22 points. He s now averaging 12.2 points and 5.4 rebounds, while shooting 48.2 percent from the field and 82.6 percent from the foul line. GIVEN BY GOVENS: Freshman reserve Darrin Govens is one of the A-10 s leaders in assist/turnover ratio with 2.0 (tied for second). Govens handed out a season-best seven assists against Duquesne and averages 3.13. At Charlotte, he had what Phil Martelli called his best college game, with a career-high 14 points and four assists in 29 minutes. Martelli said it wasn t the points that stood out, but the fact that he had the right pace of the game and had the guys running with him. INSIDE INFO: SJU players are hearing the words, pass it inside more than they have in the past few years, with frontcourt players Rob Ferguson and Ahmad Nivins proving to be the main scoring threats. This is a marked change from the guard-dominated teams of the last few years. Nivins currently leads the team with 17.1 ppg while Ferguson is scoring 12.2 ppg. DEAN OF COACHES: Phil Martelli owns the most Atlantic 10 wins among active coaches with 118. His winning percentage in conference games (.645) 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. D.J. s DEFENSE: D.J. Rivera has given the Hawks a spark off the bench with his energy and defense. Phil Martelli refers to his fierceness on defense, and equates that to the qualities that Tyrone Barley, one of the Hawks top defenders, brought to the Hawks from 2000-04. Rivera definitely gave the Hawks a boost at Temple, scoring seven first-half points, blocking three shots and helping limit TU s Dionte Christmas to just nine points. Rivera tops the Hawks in steals with 1.5 per game. TO THE POINT: Although Phil Martelli prefers to not label his guards by position, he does have five players capable of running the point, and has the flexibility of using a number of combinations in the backcourt. Jawan Carter is the primary point guard, but at times, Darrin Govens, Pat Calathes, Garrett Williamson and D.J. Rivera have filled that role. YOUTH MOVEMENT: Phil Martelli is giving plenty of minutes to his freshmen, and SJU has often had three or four of them on the court at the same time. Jawan Carter and Garrett Williamson comprise the starting backcourt, with D.J. Rivera and Darrin Govens being among the first players off the bench. Carter ranks fourth on the team in minutes played with 25.7, with Williamson averaging 24.3, with Rivera at 23.9 and Govens seeing 23.1 minutes per game. THE FOUR FRESHMEN: In the Saint Mary s win, SJU had four freshmen on the court for one of the longest periods of the season thus far (approx. four minutes). The Hawks trailed 16-11 at the time, but Rockwell Moody, D.J. Rivera, Garrett Williamson, and Darrin Govens (replaced by Jawan Carter) teamed with upperclassman Rob Ferguson, and then Pat Calathes, to overtake the lead, 17-16. SJU used that momentum to outscore the Gaels, 7-2, at the end of the half and then go into halftime tied, 30-30. THE COMEBACK KID: Darrin Govens made an extremely quick return to action playing in the Boston University game, just 10 days after having surgery on his fractured right hand (fourth metacarpal). Govens, who had surgery on Nov. 17, asked to participate in practice on Nov. 26, and then was cleared by the doctor just hours before the BU game. STRONG FINISH: After a 4-7 start in conference play last year, Saint Joseph s finished strong, putting together a five-game winning streak heading into the A-10 Tournament, and finishing with a 9-7 mark. The Hawks then went on to win three straight in the conference tournament, before losing to by a point in the championship game. PERIMETER PLAY: SJU seemed to be without that defined 3-point threat that they ve had over the past few years, but Rob Ferguson is close to filling the role. He s currently hitting 46.6 percent from beyond the arc, with Pat Calathes posting the second best number at 46.0 percent. The team is shooting 40.4 percent on the year and made a season-high 10 3-pointers against and Duquesne. 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. 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. 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. PRESEASON PICKS: The Hawks were picked to finish eighth in the Atlantic 10, in the preseason voting of media and coaches. In 2005-06, 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. 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. 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. 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. NO PLACE LIKE HOME: The Hawks are 6-1 in Alumni Memorial Fieldhouse this season and are 59-9 (86.7 winning pct.) over the past seven years. During the course of 58 seasons in the Fieldhouse (counting this one), the Hawks have won 80 percent on the home court, with the overall re c o rd now at 311-77.

2006-07 SAINT JOSEPH S BASKETBALL - PG. 7 THREE FOR ALL: SJU owns a streak of 423 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. HALLMARK OF SUCCESS: Entering this season, SJU had compiled a 141-54 record in the past six seasons, with six consecutive postseason berths. 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 Phil, 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. FIVE FRESHMEN: 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 All-State 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 c a reers- 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 Neumann-Goretti team captured the Philadelphia Catholic League title. NEW FACES: Phil Mart e l l i has two new faces on the bench with first-year assistant coaches David Duda and Doug Overt o n. Duda served as the head coach at M a rt e l l i s alma mater Widener for the past eight seasons, where he compiled a 143-68 re c o rd 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. 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 All-Bench Team. Carr attended University City H.S., but then graduated from Mt. Zion Academy in North Carolina. Carr is practicing 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 SJU. The total project will proceed in three phases over the next several years. Phase one will be the construction of a 17,700-sq. ft. center adjacent to the existing Fieldhouse that will house state-of-the-art facilities for the basketball teams. 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 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. WATCHING THE HAWKS: Four SJU games will be televised in Philadelphia on Comcast SportsNet. The games are Jan. 13 vs. Rhode Island (2 pm); Jan. 21 vs. (Noon); Feb. 4 vs. Dayton (Noon); and Mar. 3 vs. UMass (4 pm). All four game times have changed from the original schedule. The appearances are part of the Atlantic 10 s new agreement with CSTV. MUST-SEE TV: It doesn t have as long of a run as Law and Order, but the most unique coaches tv show in the nation - Phil Martelli s HawkTalk - is in its 11th year. Called the nation s best coach s show by The Sporting News in 2001, Martelli hosts the unscripted show in a Tonight Show setting with a variety of guests. It airs on Comcast SportsNet every Wednesday at 11 p.m. (except for Jan. 31 at 7 p.m.) and then nationally on CSTV on Fridays at 6:30 p.m. (check listings). H AWKS IN THE PROS: Saint Joseph s is currently re p resented in the NBA by 2004 first-round picks Jameer Nelson (Orlando Magic) and Delonte We s t ( B o s t o n Celtics), as well as 2005 A-10 Defensive Player of the Year Dwayne Jones (Cleveland Cavaliers). Here are their current stats: Nelson - 38 starts, 13.2 ppg, 2.9 rpg, 4.1 apg West - 34 games, 13 starts, 10.2 ppg, 2.5 rpg, 3.7 apg Jones - 1 game, 1.0 rpg 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. Here s the list of former Hawks who have been NBA head coaches. Player (Class) NBA Teams W-L (yrs.)

It will be aired nationally on CSTV on Fridays at 6:30 p.m. Martelli s HawkTalk Radio Show airs live every Monday (beginning on Jan. 8) from the Boulevard Restaurant in Havertown, PA, from 7-8 p.m. on WNTP (990 AM). 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 HAW K 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 s p o rts, the Hawk is best known for staying in constant motion by flapping its wings throughout every basketball game and re p resenting 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. B rennan, 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 thre e 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 figu re 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 semest e r, 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.
