Multiple reports have surfaced indicating the former Saint Joesph head basketball coach, Phil Martelli, will be joining Juward Howard in Ann Arbor to coach Michigan basketball for the upcoming season.
According to Rivals Chris Balas ($), Phil was looking for a head coaching position elsewhere; however, the position at Michigan basketball was the best opportunity for him and that the deal is essentially completed pending the announcement from the University.
The Philidelphia Inquirer confirmed Phil was offered the job while the legendary coach and media personality Dick Vitale congratulated Juwan for putting a “1st class staff together”.
