Couple things getting old . The name dropping in ALL of your interviews and your constant tongue in cheek accepting blame for the loss. End of my mini rant.

We are 0-5 against 'up' teams in the league...but that's Ok because we were picked 10th. BULL $ HIT. These kids were in positions to win 3 of thise five games, not to mention Purdue. PLEASE teach them to stay on the gas, how not to foul, and manage end of game strategies in time outs, not during the running of our offense. Really heartbraking for our kids last night.

I agree with the accepting blame bit, it is just awkward and not genuine at all. He does it repeatedly almost like he is trying to be the anti-mitch

Hang in there-- things will get better. We are young..and young team blow games like this. And quite honestly Quinny- Iona- Canisius and Manhattan are better than us.Can we beat them on a given night- of course we can, but it will be nothing more than an upset. Don't forget next season we lose no player of consequence , we add Patrick Cole and hopefully address our need for another athletic big man ( preferably one that can shoot) and a athletic combo guard that can play the point

Normally just "Like" a posts but this deserves to be seen again in the thread! Yes the team is young and young teams need to learn, etc. but to have them so close in so many games up games only to lose each.... A timeout and IMO there is a significantly higher chance of a W for our Saints. This is Siena not Loyola, we pay attention to our hoops program and expect the coach to earn his $$$

1. Jimmy has done a great job - just look at the individual performances and the team compared to last year. He not only coaches these kids ..he inspires them to WIN! And they NEVER give up!
2. This is young team- However, if we had Cole playing..we would be contending for the MAAC! We pin him with a great backup pg next year we might win the MAAC! It takes time!

Bottom line Jimmy cost us that game.The coach have to put us in the win situation and he did not do that last night.You cannot blame the kids.

Jimmy didn’t have his best game for sure—but before you go and give the players a pass—plenty of just outright dumb fouls last night. Add to that the fact Jimmy got almost nothing out of his bench they shot 2 for 19 for a total of 7 points in 81 min of game time..I’d say plenty of blame to go around

You tell me.

Fran would have never lost that game. It's obvious that Jimmy is no Fran.
Jimmy gets compared to Mitch, who was the worst hire in Siena history.
Jimmy's coaching in this game was horrible. A few more like this and the honeymoon will be over.
I pray for better days ahead.

I don't see how this game is on coaching. If Poole does not foul him like he was told, then we are up 1 with the ball. On the final play of regulation they switched the screen and Wright had the lane but lost the ball. Same situation as the Bonaventure game yet no one complained about not using a time out in that situation. Do we foul too much, absolutely. Were we in position to win if we have our starters on the floor, yes. But like everyone has said all year, we are going to be on a roller coaster ride this year and win games that surprise us, and lose games we should win. This is one we should have won.
Instead of worrying about the state of the men's team, let's look at the women's coach. She is struggling right now with her team. Certainly not the hire to change the program overnight unlike what the UAlbany coach has done. I do not follow women's hoops, but that turnaround has been impressive.

Enough with the Fran crap talk- he is not the coach-so move on people!
I mean ...what exactly do you want from Jimmy..Siena do be contending his first year? He is dong the best he can with the talent on this team. For us to contend- Siena needed Cole on this team..and a solid back up point guard. Again..move on people!
Next year..Cole will be playing..maybe we have a solid up at PG.maybe another SG- So ..RELAX people!

Jimmy is doing a great job IMO. He's getting a lot out of these guys as a group. I do think we should have done something before this to address the fouls, though. This has obviously hurt us and it culminated in that heart breaker last night. Not second guessing the non-time out last night, but with 15 secs left I was screaming for us to take one.
