Mike Martin recently completed his 12th season as the Men's Basketball Head Coach at Brown University. He is the 31st head men’s basketball coach in the program’s 117-year history. Martin launched his Brown career in 2012-2013 as the fourth youngest head men’s basketball coach in Division I. Martin is the winningest head coach in Brown men's basketball history with 148 victories.
Martin began his coaching career at Brown on head coach Glen Miller’s staff as an assistant coach in 2005-2006. He was an assistant at Penn from 2006 – 2012 under both Miller and later Jerome Allen before returning to take over the program at Brown in 2012.
As a player, Martin was a four-year starter at Brown and was part of the winningest class in the Bears' basketball history, posting a 63-45 four-year record from 2000-2004. He also helped the Class of 2004 to a school-record 39-17 Ivy League mark during that period -- the best by an Ivy League team other than Penn and Princeton since 1970. He also helped the Bears to a school-record four straight winning seasons. When he graduated, Martin ranked third all-time at Brown in career treys (143), ninth in career steals (113), and tenth in career assists (232).

On this episode Mike & Jason discuss the Cavs' loss to Boston and speculate on who stays, who goes, and why out of Mitchell, Garland, Allen, Mobley, and Bickerstaff. Our consensus - Mitchell and Mobley stay, Allen, Garland, and Bickerstaff go. Next, they look at the Mavs' game 5 win in OKC behind Luka's triple double. Then they turn their attention to the Denver Nuggets and the complete turnaround that has taken place in this series behind the incredible performances of Nikola Jokic. Finally, they wonder about the "battle" between Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Haliburton and whether the Pacers have any chance of winning a game 7 in New York.
