Poor Communication

Coach Martone holds grudges and retaliates. The past several years have gone downhill which brought pressure. Pressure created blaming and zero tolerance for mistakes. Yet he made many coaching mistakes but never owned up. When things emerged from bad team chemistry and he caught some blame for bad decisions, he threw the players under the bus. Poor leader. Accepts zero accountability. Retaliates against players who speak up. Finally, if your name doesn't end in a vowel, Merrimack College is not for you.

Old School Mentality

Check Reddit on him for claims he's abusive. Alums are alarmed about his bullying, downhill results, and shameful international pipeline. The poster who said US players need not apply was right. US players are only there to pay tuition and help financially for the coaches to recruit more Italians. Something is suspicious at Merrimack. Stay Away, Far Away!

DisorganizedFitness Is ImportantOld School MentalityPoor Communication

I've been around this guy a long time. Americans need not apply. His history with Italy and his return to recruit there shows his clear bias toward Italian players. American players are at Merrimack to be tuition paying subsidizers for the program. Getting recruited by Tony as a US planet is a scam. It just means he's spent too much abroad and needs some tuition paying students to balance his books.

Cares About AcademicsOld School MentalityPoor Communication

Checked out and living on his reputation. Plays the system and cowtows to the athletic director, which is hockey, football and basketball focused so he does their bidding to survive and the players suffer. It's a rotating roster that's mostly international. But he pretends to care while hiding what's really going on. Dishonest and no integrity. Communication is poor. Plays favorites which is usually the player from Europe.

Very passionate about the sport and is all about the fundamentals that come with the sport...from a clean touch on the ball to which way to turn with a defender on your back and so on. I had a positive experience all four years and the coaching really improved not just my skills, responsibilities, but also my knowledge towards the game.
