    Perhaps the rules are different for post-graduate transfers.

    Possibly. But the hold up was Martelli not granting the waiver for no reason.

    He signed a waiver? St. Joes gave him a waiver to sign, or he just had a make believe one drafted? And he did this for what purpose? So he could sit the bench?

    The privacy protection is for the student. The student can waive that protection.

    O'Brien did it to show he wasn't afraid of their side of the story, which is what SJU claimed at first, then turned around and claimed privacy protection.

    And in the end, the kid was just going to sit on the bench. From one bench to another. Martelli didn't like that apparently. He wants all of his players to sit on the bench during a 4-12 A10 season. Except O'Brien didn't sit the bench at SJU, because he left.

    I like Phil Martelli, but he hasn't been a good coach in a long time. I think he was good for St Joes at some point in time, but that time has passed. I met him in an airport once, and we had a good conversation.

    I am not sure who was right or wrong in the O'Brien case, but the fact is, St Joes can suck it.....along with the rest of the A-10.

    Maybe since O'Brien was really not an actual player, he was just looking for an opportunity to sue.

    "Is there anybody here from the Xavier administration? Do you know when graduation is? That goddamn Burrell, every year, every goddam game makes a shot against us. He was averaging 7.5 points coming into the game in seven league games – or eight games. Doesn’t look like the same player, playing great defense. Dagger. I want to be here to make sure that sonofabitch gets out of here to be honest with you.”

    Graduation day is today Coach (3-20-13).

    They did give him a uniform.

    Also, SJU gave him permission to talk to other schools over the summer.

    There is absolutely no way you can look at this situation and take SJU side. Unless you are Phil Martelli.
