    Juwan Howard Adds Familiar Face to Staff

    Link

    The newly-appointed Wolverines coach is adding former St. Joseph’s coach Phil Martelli to his staff, giving the first-time head coach who has never spent time on a bench at the collegiate level the benefit of an experienced, veteran head coach of over 20 years who has been a National Coach of the Year while winning and recruiting big at a mid-major program.

    In general, I think when people suggest that someone bring on an experienced coach that it's a dumb idea, but in this case I think it makes sense.

    Prolly being paid as much as he was @ St Joe's.
    I have seen only two great plays: Hamlet and put the ball into the basket

    Some reason why Travis Steele did not take that approach ?

    Because he had years of college coaching experience. Howard has none.

    None at the collegiate level, but he is an experienced NBA assistant with his time at Miami.
