What possible value would a local HS coach bring to the program? The Capital District is not a hot bed for recruiting D1 college basketball players. There are plenty of good, qualified and experienced assist college coaches out there who have recruiting contacts well beyond this area. I have always felt from JP's start at Siena that his assistant coaches were a weakness and is something that needs to be addressed. Hopefully JP is realizing what got it done and was acceptable at Loyola will not work or be accepted at Siena. All aspects of his coaching and how he runs his program, including the assistants that he has on his been need to be elevated to the next level. Hiring a local HS coach is not the answer. A little food for thought- Love to see Jimmy get a older guy like Don Basset. Willie Wooden listens to Don, who has forgot more about basketball than most coaches know. On top of that Basset is one of best shooting coaches on east coast- check out UA foul shooting pct.—pretty sure they lead the AE every year – and coach Basset plays a big part in that. I hear you on this staff needs recruiters- but an older smart coach wouldn’t hurt either
