As St. Rose is about to go belly up making one particular outstanding coach across MULTIPLE levels and genres available, all it takes to fix the Siena problem is a functional brain.
Of course, it would also require Siena to man up and just admit that this guy took Siena's big crosstown rival from absolutely nothing (starting at age 29) and let it to the point where Siena was turned in to a red headed stepchild. Siena would also have to let go of this guy insisting (or else) that the annual rivalry game between the two not ALWAYS be played in Siena's downtown arena even if it meant sometimes playing it in a glorified high school gym.
Its' do you want to fix the problem or don't you??? It's do you want to win or don't you??? It's do you want to "reverse polarity" and now make UAlbany the red headed stepchild or don't you???
All done in 15 seconds!!! All it would take is some Siena drone yutz to walk up to a podium and say (or read): Ladies and gentlemen of the media. The next coach of the Siena men's' program basketball program, Mr, Will Brown. Problem worked, problem solved!!!
P.S. In the interest of full disclosure(s), yes I am casually acquainted with the Brown family. Also, the then still competent, functional and relevant individual who chose Brown (at age 29) to lead UAlbany out of the abyss was, indeed, one Lee McElroy. Unfortunately, RPI picked up McElroy at the same point in his career that Gil Hodges, Duke Snyder and Warren Spahn were in theirs when the early day Mets picked them up. For those old enough, that was not a pretty sight either.
Not to hijack the thread, but I completely agree. Siena fired the wrong guy. John D'Argenio has alone (no search company) made the hire of the last four (?...5?) coaches since Fran McCaffrey....all of whom were either duds or jumped ship after a year. He gave the kiss of death "vote of confidence' to Macariello in February, apparently without consulting his boss or the powerful alumni. How many mulligans does this guy get? Time for him to hand in his keys and head to Boca ....
