With over 43 years of coaching, legendary coach Phil Martelli joins the University of Michigan basketball program as the associate head coach following a 34 year tenure at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia.

Starting his career at Saint Joseph's as an assistant coach for 10 years, Martelli spent his final 24 seasons as the head coach building the Saint Joseph's program into one of the most consistent in the Atlantic 10, becoming a perennial postseason participant and a key player on the national scene. He earned his place among the top coaches in the school's storied history and is one of the most respected coaches in the game.

Martelli is the Hawks' all-time leader in career victories with a mark of 444-328. He set the school record for most wins in a season (30) in 2004 and recorded nine 20-plus win seasons -- the most for any Hawks' coach. His Atlantic 10 record of 218-176 ranks second all-time in the league history and trailed only Temple's John Chaney. He won six Atlantic 10 regular season/divisional titles (1997, 2001, '02, '03, '04 and '05) and guided the Hawks to three A-10 Tournament championships (1997, 2014 and '16).
