Martinelli was called for 3 offensive fouls. I watched in amazement this year as he was allowed to use his off hand to hold off and frequently hook his defender, I am sure every opposing coach will get in the ref's ears about this before games.

Yes, I've seen this too. A lot of players do this but Martinelli does it more than most. I think it is more a habit fueled by success, rather than intentional.

He has a little push also.

I forget which game it was a couple weeks ago where he scored 20+ points with an array of hooks and pushes on offense. I hope not as many of them will be called in conference play as I thought there would be.
