Hi Everyone, New as member, but been reading these posts for years. What is said to the media is one thing. What is happening behind the scenes if anything is another thing. I hope Siena and RP do talk without media finding out. If things don't work out between them, then both save face.

This is my point. We vote for criminals, adulterers and liars "but don't tarnish my college" with someone accused of the same. #Hypocrisy... Laughable I agree the Clintons and Obama are criminals. But I didn’t vote for them, so my conscience is clear. Your conscience may be clear but your vision and mental acuity have some issues...it's not by accident that the highest game score in Bridge is No-Trump....

Gents lets keep politics out of it. This isn’t the place for it. Play nice.
I 82 has a good point, regarding hypocrisy. Everyone and I mean everyone here is guilty. RP is gone let’s drop it and get along.
Far as English major, S22, I will put the olive branch out to you. BTW you never answered my private msg. Peace brother, MP says your a gentleman who loves Siena, so peace, we can agree to disagree on some subject but probably agree on most. I learned long time ago to forgive and forget. Taught well by the Franciscans.

I look at Rick Patino strictly is a business move. The revenue he would bring into the school would be immense. Siena's search won't find better coach and recruiter. - Increased ticket sales - Merchandise sales - 2 National Championships - Took 3 different schools to final four. - Recruiting, I beleive he can out recruit any MAAC coach. Players at this level having Rick Patino going to their house and saying come play for me. Siena will get better athletes. - Making Siena succesful again will bring national media attention. That media attention works as a recruiting tool. A possible move to A-10.
Yes he has dirty laundry in his past. Siena could use Franciscan Values as a reason to give him a chance. "Diversity and inclusivity: We welcome all. Simply put." Make it a feel good story of redemption.
These are just a few thoughts I had.

I dont know how many times I have to tell you guys no politics on this board. We fight like hell without politics - can you imagine how bad it would be with politics? Deleted several posts in this thread.
Here is the deal- We have no idea what went into the Pitino situation, it was always an extreme long shot. It didnt work out- move on a lot of good candidates out there. If you are that pissed off move on, drop your tickets support whatever you want, but lets not make this board unreadable

Interesting....

Interesting.... If it’s not Beilein, let’s sell are collective souls for Pitino! 5 years of a packed TUC, 5 conference 1st place finishes, 5 ncaa tournament appearances, maybe 2 to 3 sweet sixteens, and an elite 8, final 4 and maybe one... hey! I can dream can’t I?

Talked to a big money donor tonight and he confirmed Pitinos interest in this job (Ugh). Said he wrote D'Arg about it and talked money. Said first time he could ever remember, he didn't get a response. Clearly the school doesn't want to go down the Pitino road.

You can't get anything out of Siena these days.

Yup shortsighted for sure but I’ve been saying it since his name was floated Siena wouldn’t look his way ... That soap operas over College needs to get this done right. Other board noted infighting going on, leadership direction and vision is definitely lacking.
