Chucky goes south/A Milt Wagner flash back
The following is from the NJhoops.com web site...about former Monmouth U. player Jose "Chucky"' Martin, played with Alex Blackwell in the early 90's....
Jose "Chuck" Martin, an assistant at St. John's University the past two seasons, has been hired as an assistant men's basketball coach at the University of Memphis, head coach John Calipari announced Tuesday. The 2006-07 campaign will be Martin's eighth year as an assistant, as prior to St. John's he also served on the staffs at Drexel, UMass and Manhattan. "Chuck brings great experience to our staff," said Calipari. "He worked with a close friend of mine (and former Calipari assistant) in Bruiser Flint at UMass and Drexel.
Martin was a key recruiter on the St. John's staff the past two seasons.
. "It's an honor to join the staff here at Memphis, and I'm excited to have the opportunity to work with John Calipari and the staff," Martin said. "I'm looking forward to being a part of the Memphis family"St. John's will always be special to me because I grew up in New York City. It was a great experience working with Coach (Norm) Roberts at St. John's. They are turning the corner there, and they'll do well this year."
Prior to St. John's, Martin was an assistant coach at Drexel for head coach Bruiser Flint, who served as an assistant for Calipari at UMass in the 1990s. During his time with the Dragons, Martin was involved in all aspects of the basketball program, including national recruiting, working with the team's guards on skill development, scouting and game preparation. "Chuck will be a great fit for the Tiger program," Flint said.
"I've known Coach Calipari for a few years, and I also worked for Bruiser Flint so I'm familiar with what they do," said Martin.
Martin attended Champlain (Vt.) Junior College, where he captained a pair of NJCAA Tournament teams, before he was recruited to Monmouth by then coach Wayne Szoke and completing his career at Monmouth University.
At Monmouth, Martin played the point guard position and averaged 7.1 points and 2.0 assists for his career. Martin is a 1993 graduate of Monmouth with a degree in communications.
In other news regarding the Memphis program, one of the greatest players in New Jersey history, Camden's Milt Wagner has left the Tiger staff and gone to the University of Texas El-Paso as part of new coach Tony Barbee's staff. Milt is the father of another NJ scholastic legend Dajuan Wagner.
I saw Milt - when he was at Camden - hit the shot that helped defeat Middletown South and coach Pat Houston in the late 70's in the NJSIAAs at Rutgers. MS finished that year 27-1..Not that I'm dating myself or anything....
