I couldn't find anything more recent other than a short piece noting that he was [URL='http://www.syracuse.com/poliquin/index.ssf/2015/07/greater_syracuse_sports_hall_of_fame_will_greet_six_new_electees_in_october.html']inducted into the Great Syracuse Sports Hall of Fame[/URL] in October 2015.

A good summary of Marty the SU Player can be found at the orangehoops site: [URL]http://www.orangehoops.org/MHeadd.htm[/URL]

Looking back at those teams in JB's early tenure brings back some memories from what seems like a lifetime ago (I suppose that for some of the posters here it actually is a lifetime ago!) - local guys Marty & Danny Schayes (who was blocked behind Roosevelt Bouie & only became a full-time starter in his senior year), somewhat local guys Hal Cohen (from Canton, the TV announcers would always mention that he'd once made 598 consecutive free throws after a high school practice) & Dale Shackleford (from Utica, he was one of the first to wear a t-shirt under his jersey, in his case he started doing it because he had a cold) and of course the Bouie & Louie Show. A different time for sure, when games against St Bonaventure were regularly scheduled (and not regularly won).
