As a student-athlete at Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School, he excelled in basketball and baseball, earning all-Union County and all-Watchung Conference honors as a senior captain. At Montclair State University, Martinez was a two-year co-captain, leading his team to a conference championship and a Sweet 16 appearance in the NCAA tournament, where he was named to the All-NCAA Sectional team.
Transitioning to coaching, he began as a varsity assistant at his alma mater, contributing to the school’s first and only state championship and later guiding the team as head coach to a rare state sectional championship appearance. Martinez has been instrumental in developing top talent, including the school’s all-time leading scorer and several athletes who advanced to collegiate sports. From 2012 to 2022, he served as the Men’s Basketball Assistant Coach at Stevens Institute of Technology, helping secure two conference championships and mentoring multiple all-conference players, including two conference players of the year and an All-American.
His expertise encompasses recruiting, player development, scouting, and academic support, establishing him as a well-rounded leader in basketball coaching.
What families sayLong Island families
From skills, to skills, to more skills- then broken down to in game scenarios. not about winning and loosing- they approach it as player development and future possibilities. Ideally PSB is for the serious players who want to take their game to the next level- and learn how to play basketball at a high IQ level. Highly recommend.
Jon C., PSB Long Island familyWe didn’t know what to expect when PSB Basketball came to the area, but it’s been an incredible experience from day one. The program is extremely well organized and always focused on player development—not just wins. The coaches are fantastic, and having my son train with actual high school and college coaches has been such a valuable experience for him. He’s learning the game, gaining confidence, and being pushed to improve every session. Highly recommend PSB for any family serious about long-term basketball growth.
