There are ZERO basketball reasons to bring Carm back. ZERO. He had his shot and failed. He is simply not a very good HC. For Carm to have any sustained success going forward, he would need to completely reinvent himself (both on and off the court), his coaching philosophy, style and schemes, offense and defense, in game adjustments, substitution patterns, etc. and significantly elevate the talent level of the team. All of that happening together by next season is virtually impossible. For Siena College to put the players, program and fans through another season with Carm would be criminal. Time for a new chapter in Siena Men's basketball. Do you really want Darg picking next coach? Retire Darg, get new AD and give Carm another year- think long term

Tony, I want them both gone! No better time to clean house than right after the worse season in program history. Keeping either presents problems for the Saints. Time for a new chapter of Siena basketball.

Retire Darg, get new AD and give Carm another year- think long term If Carm still had support from the donor base I could maybe convince myself that a roster rebuild could result in a respectable season next year- even if say a 17-15 year would still result in Carm’s firing. If the admin keeps Carm next year they better make sure he’ll have adequate NIL resources to turn over the roster- maybe they can smooth out the rift between SMO and Carm for the time being. If they retain Carm and have virtually no NIL resources because of the understandable lack of trust in Carm then next year could set the program back more than any other year in the program’s history.

He let 2 scholarships gather dust on his desk, and let a kid from Georgia go to school for 3 years, not play one minute and get his degree. We were, by far, the least talented team in the league, and he only gives out 10 scholarships? Should be fired for this philosophy alone. 4-34 last 38. Hasnt won a MAAC tourney game in 4 years. Expect the entire staff to walk... AGAIN. Is there any doubt a change has to be made? Well said. What argument can be made against this? Only one I can think of is that the admin don't care. That's a much bigger issue if that is the case.

I actually thought it was odd that Chuck was on vacation the week of the tournament for his marquee athletic program. (Used to be anyway...) That gave me hope that he was meeting quietly out of town with a prospective new hire or 2. Still hoping--

From what I’m hearing it sounds like D’Arg will be shown the door but Carm will be back. That's a good start. A new AD would likely want his own HC choice in place.

If this is real … 1st comes Lori Ancil appointment followed by Will Brown … then come the Aussies … Siena women already brings one from down under next season

If this is real … 1st comes Lori Ancil appointment followed by Will Brown … then come the Aussies … Siena women already brings one from down under next season We need a new AD that comes from somewhere else who has worked I a bogey program And will bring Desh ideas and connections. Nothing against Lori as I am sure she is fine but we need to reinvigorate the athletic program and think bigger

It seems weird to me that they would get rid of D’arg for essentially riding with Carm but then keep Carm. I’m sure there’s other factors at play with D’arg but the direction of the Men’s Basketball program is the most important.
