Zeke Martin (basketball)

Carl Taylor "Zeke" Martin (December 17, 1884 – March 1, 1976) was a college basketball player and coach, as well as a mechanical engineer.

[5] According to Stroud, "Martin is not only fast on his feet, and a good shot, as every forward must be, but he is slippery and quick to dodge or wriggle from the bunch.

Only a rugged guard can cover him, as he is strong at shaking free.

He was a native of Mobile, Alabama and is the namesake of nearby Zeke's Landing, and the "Mar" in Romar Beach.

[6][7] He was once suspended from coaching the team for spending extra days on the beach in Mobile.
