MSNBC - A Philly guy through and through

Even a big tough guy like Phil Martelli respects the power of a librarian.

MSNBC - A Philly guy through and through: "Both shows turned out to be prophetic. Martelli resuscitated the Hawks' struggling program, but lately he's learned that staying on top is every bit as tough as getting there. In late January, en route to a 114-63 demolition of St. Bonaventure, a Bonnies fan yelled at Martelli for clamping on full-court pressure when Saint Joe's was already ahead by 25 points. He wheeled toward the stands and yelled back, ''Shut up, you nitwit!''
That was before learning the woman he screamed at was a school librarian. Martelli had the good sense to follow that up with a handwritten letter of apology soon after."
