ON THE COVER PRINTING Saint Joseph’s players have been the foundation for success, which includes five straight postseason appear- Smith-Edwards-Dunlap Company, ances and five consecutive Atlantic 10 regular-season titles. Seniors (left to right) Chet Stachitas, Dwayne Lee, Philadelphia, PA Dave Mallon and Rob Sullivan pose in front of Barbelin-Lonergan Hall. (Photo by Greg Carroccio/Sideline Photos) Barbelin-Lonergan Hall and its distinctive carillon tower were completed in 1927, when what was then Saint Joseph's College moved to its current City Avenue location. The builder, noted Philadelphian and alumnus John McShain '22, also built the Pentagon, the Jefferson Memorial, and the reconstructed White House under a com- mission from President Harry S. Truman. At the time, the Barbelin Tower was the highest point in Philadelphia, contributing partly to Saint Joseph's becoming known as "Hawk Hill." 2005-062005-06 ScheduleSchedule

Why S-a-i-n-t Joseph's University? The corporate title "S-a-i-n-t" Joseph's University, which has been in place since Saint Joseph's was granted university status by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1979, is now the public title of the institution for all aspects of its operations. Previously, the abbreviation "St." Joseph's University was permitted in a number of alumni and athletic contexts. The vast majority of academic and government publications have referred to S-a-i-n-t Joseph's University since at least 1986, as have most campus references with the exception of athletics. However, the recent sesquicentennial celebration (1851-2001) and subsequent university-wide "image campaign" have revealed the need to clarify this policy both internal- ly and externally. According to the most recent edition of the Higher Education Directory, there are at least nine recognized "St. Joseph's" among the nation's colleges and universities. Only one of them - Saint Joseph's University, Philadelphia - is a university-level, Master's I, NCAA Division I institution. A complete spelling of S-a-i-n-t Joseph's University in all contexts will help eliminate any confusion among higher education and other public constituencies. Style information for print, electronic and digital media is available. It includes accepted abbreviations of the corporate name (e.g., "SJU" or "St. Joe's" in headlines or certain informal references) as well as prohibited usages (e.g., partial abbreviations such as "St. Joseph's" or "Saint Joe's"). Please direct any questions to the Office of University Communications, (610) 660-1222.

It’s a different twist on the standard coach’s show as the witty Phil Martelli hosts in a "Tonight Show" setting. Some obliga- tory game highlights are included but rarely overshadow the wacky jokes and interviews. In 2001, The Sporting News called HawkTalk the nation’s best coach’s show. The 2005-06 season marks the 10th anniversary of the show. Martelli hosts the unscripted show and aside from trading barbs with co-host Joe Lunardi, interviews guests ranging from Saint Joseph’s students to his wife Judy to the Governor of Pennsylvania. Governor Ed Rendell was among the “high- profile” guests on HawkTalk in the past few years, along with author and Washington Post columnist John Feinstein, Saint Joseph’s coaching legend and head coach Ken Hitchcock. For the past two years, HawkTalk has been taped primarily on campus with a live studio audience of SJU students, faculty and staff. The show airs weekly from January to March in the Basketball is often the secondary topic on Phil Martelli’s HawkTalk, when Philadelphia region on Comcast SportsNet. Beginning in the SJU coach and co-host Joe Lunardi get together on the most unique 2003-04, a whole new audience experienced HawkTalk as fans coach’s show in the country. nationwide were treated to the broadcast of Martelli’s show on CollegeSports Television.

‘05-06 SAINT JOSEPH’S BASKETBALL• 25 Q&AQ&A WithWith PhilPhil MarMartellitelli

What do you hope that the upperclassmen will take from what they achieved last year and even the previous season? I always expect my seniors to lead and certainly Dwayne Lee, Rob Sullivan, Dave Mallon and Chet Stachitas have had the best of experiences in winning, crowd support, big games and atmosphere. They’ve certainly had the best of college basketball and the best that St. Joe’s can offer. I expect that they would lead and explain to the younger players that we get to where we’re going by hard work and by sticking to the plan. I also expect that they will explain how to conduct themselves as a Saint Joseph’s basketball player. What will be the characteristics of the team or style of play this year? I do think that we have depth, but an All-League player or go-to guy will have to evolve. This is going to be a balanced team, and it’s going to have to be a balanced team. It’s going to be a team where we have to get a lot from everybody. The style is going to be predicated more on which players develop and which players have gotten better and we’ll judge that in the early season. What did Dwayne Lee show last year with his play at the point? What Dwayne Lee did was show that there’s no challenge too big. Obviously everybody watched and knew that he stayed with it all year long defensively. He was recognized on the Atlantic 10 All-Defensive Team, but he also settled in. I think early on he worried more about scoring and we don’t really worry about the point guard scoring, that’s a byproduct of playing good basketball. One of the things was that he led in a quiet, calm fashion. We might need him to be a little more demonstrative this season. What are some of the team’s strengths? This team has an incredible work ethic. I have never had a team that works like this and I’m talking about the spring workouts and the things they’ve done individually in the summer. This team is really, really com- mitted to working. The other strength is that they’ve won. They don’t know anything other than winning. Weaknesses? The weakness is going to be replacing veteran players who have played major roles. The weakness is the unknown of who’s going to step up and the fear that maybe no one steps forward. If no one steps for- ward then we wouldn’t be good enough. But if a number of guys step forward and make it challenging for the coaches in deciding playing time, then that’s a good thing for us. How do you fill the gap left by the departure of Dwayne Jones? It’s a huge hole in the middle because of the experience, but the numbers are different. Can you get 10 points and 12 rebounds from that posi- tion? – I’d like to think so. But you’re counting on the unknown. It’s a couple of freshmen and two upperclassmen who haven’t played much. I’m not really worried about the size but certainly our defense has been anchored by him (Jones) being back there and blocking shots. So when you’re averaging a few blocks a game you wonder if you can get that. And not only whether you can get it, but know that you’ll be getting it. With DJ, we knew that he’d get 10 or 12 rebounds and block three shots. And now with these unknowns, you find yourself saying ‘what if?’ – ‘what if one night they only get six points?’. We know that points are going to be hard to come by – then we might not be able to make up the difference. What’s your impression of the three true freshmen (Lashley, Mofunanya, Nivins)? All three really want to be here and that means a lot to me. They’re excited about being here and they’re aware of what they’re representing and what has gone on here. They have a deep appreciation for that and I think that’s a good thing. What about each one indivudally? Edwin (Lashley) has the unique ability to make long-distance shots. His positive attitude and willingness to ask for and accept help lead me to believe he will be a great addition to our program. Alvin (Mofunanya) has uncanny strength for a college freshman and a more than willing attitude to utilize this strength. The key will be the coaches harnessing that strength. He can play defense immediately at this level. The work in practice will be to find a consistent offensive game.

Ahmad (Nivins) has a mature approach to the game of basketball. He believes wholeheartedly that defense wins games. The challenge for our staff will be to accelerate Ahmad’s physical and mental understanding of what is necessary at this level.

How about Jordan Fowler, who enrolled in school last January and practiced with the team? Jordan has a unique combination of strength and skill. He studies the game of basketball and my hope is that he will utilize all of the finer points of the game. The key for Jordan’s development is day-to-day improvement. What about some of the younger players who return? I think it’s a good healthy thing that Pat Calathes wasn’t happy with his playing time. He certainly has attached himself to the label of “gym rat”. His shot has improved, his body has improved and only time will tell if his defense has improved and that is a mental commitment that he has to make. For Rob Ferguson the light and the fire still has to go on with regards to basketball. I think he’s extremely gifted. He’s a guy who I would zero in on. The same with Abdulai (Jalloh). I think he had flashes of brilliance last year. But now we’re looking for consistency and looking for that climb that we’ve seen between freshman and sophomore years from guys like Tyrone Barley and Delonte West. I think that he has the capability of being an All-League player, but handling that and producing that – I need to see that on a day-to-day basis. For Artur (Surov), maybe being needed changes an approach. He’s a guy who likes to go day by day and drill by drill. Now what we’re really looking for and need to see is that sense of urgency. He played some international basketball this summer and I think that helped – but we need to see that sense of urgency. With Arvydas (Lidzius) I think it’s just a matter of settling in. He has all of the intangibles. No one is more intense, no one is more coachable and no one believes more in what we’re teaching – that you can play the game if you can play from the defensive end. What we need him to do is become more skillful. I think the biggest thing with him is the opportunity. If he gets the opportunity, I believe he can produce.
