A few bits from Martz press conf:
Basically he took questions about his health. The doctor told him if he
tried to go
back to coaching duties, even after the antibiotics, he would end up back
where
he started health. He repeated it's not fair to the team, players, etc for
him to be
involved, so he will have no further involement this year.
"In his best interest healthwise to not coach the rest of the season."
"For me to have one foot in, one foot out is not fair to these coaches or
players."
"This is a tough thing to do. Feel like there is a lot of guilt here."
"The only good part at this point is I know Joe Vitt and the job he has done
here,
deserves to be head coach in his own right."
"This is very difficult for me, but I know it's the right thing to do. Dr.
Fraiser was
adamant about it."
Will you be back next year?
"Yes, why wouldn't I be."
Will you continue to have input?
"No. Not fair to Joe, not fair to the staff. I have to divorce myself
from this.
This is Joe's team."
