Here’s some of the latest buzz on Michigan basketball recruiting and how assistant Phil Martelli is killing it on the trail.

Every great head coach has great assistant coaches and when Juwan Howard became the man at Michigan basketball, one of his best decisions was hiring Phil Martelli to be an assistant.

The move certainly paid off for Howard last season as he learned the ropes coaching college basketball after nearly two decades of playing and coaching in the NBA. Martelli proved to be an invaluable resource on the sidelines and he’s starting to become an asset on the recruiting trail too.
