So he already knows how to play against Albany to follow in the footsteps of the last 2 guys on rt 9

Reminds me a lot of John Gallagher...hoists up a million 3's and don't defend anything. I know the TU indicated he emphasizes defense but his career numbers tell a different story. 

 

His teams are middling at best on defense, don't rebound the ball and don't get to the FT line.

Told a MtMary recruit last week he was NOT going anywhere. Looks like a typical $iena high integrity guy?

I don't know the numbers, but make sure you look at the defensive stats for his conference record. From what I have read, he did a great job at scheduling "up" and "money" games in their OOC schedule. Gotta imagine the defensive stats will take a hit when you are a low low major playing against the big schools.

I reserve judgment on his integrity until they announce whether he is bringing his team to Albany or not.

If he doesn't play at Albany I wont see him  coach a game until he decides he had enough of Loudonville

Gonna be interesting to see if this one sacks up and comes down to SEFCU or if he'll be a little *itch like the rest of the coaches that have come through there...As for me, either it's a home and home or I'll never go to another Siena/UA game.

President of Siena gets up to the podium and welcomes J. Christian to Olean...they don't even know as a program what city they are in. No wonder they couldn't find their ass with both hands trying to fire Patsos and hire a new coach.

Just watched it...absolutely hilarious.....Click is right......a great way to cap off this search....sort of like a several week root canal for their fans. The only downside is that Patsos was so easy to make fun of and this fellow looks like a genuinely nice guy. Well, hopefully his family is not looking for a house near the Bonnie's campus.

Albany media with ONE question for the guy...wow that was brutal!

[Clickclack]

That whole presser was absolutely brutal...JD looks like a greasy car salesman...president doesn't know what city the school plays in...Christian with awkward thanks to everyone, some mombo jumbo about best conditioned program...he seemed a bit uncomfortable but towards the end got a bit more comfortable...media hits him with one question. 

Wow...honestly that was painful.

A well known Siena *clears throat* fan (read stalker) MTS who doesn't even attend games, has no season tickets etc. has already pledged his allegiance on LCC board...

""Listening to Jamion - we got the right guy. He's the right guy at the right time. He's young and hungry. Well spoken. He commands respect. I'm ready to run into a wall for the guy!!"

...into the wall for the guy...I'M DYING HELP ME!

Hopefully WB isn’t either! Old grudges die hard

Funny Mt St Mary's had an RPI of 225 and a strength of schedule of 333 and over on the Siena Board they're trying to say he scheduled a lot of up games. He also had 2 wins this year against non DI teams and a loss to Bryant 3-28 with a 341 RPI.

 

Should be interesting.
