Villanova is looking into whether assistant coach Doug Martin may have given incorrect information in his bio submitted to the university and posted online on the school's athletic department website.
According to a statement issued by Villanova when Martin was hired, he "played collegiate basketball at UW-Green Bay for coach Dick Bennett from 1991-95."
However Green Bay has no records of Martin ever playing there. He is not listed on the all-time roster, and Andrew Gavin, Green Bay's director of athletic communications, said via email, "I do not have a record of a Doug Martin playing here and looked through our stats from each of those years as well."
Bennett, Martin's supposed coach, said he has absolutely no recollection of Martin.
"He certainly didn't play for me," Bennett said.

Resume inflation is bizarre especially when one considers how many have been exposed in recent years...
With the PFB festivities taking place this weekend, this also brings to mind a business situation many years ago when a top sales rep for a company we were working with told me he had played for our Friars, claiming to have been a walk-on...
My associates all knew I was a Friar Freak and so sure enough I charged with checking him out 6 ways to Sunday and he was indeed a fraud.
What he doesn't know to this day - and I have seen him once or twice around the Dunk - is that little white lie cost him big time - he was never ever considered for any future business deals once I uncovered his BS...he never knew why and nobody ever told him either.
And so it goes...
