I was at the game and saw OD sitting the last 13 minutes or so but just assumed that Mitch was giving him a rest. However, after listening to the call in show, it appears that there was an argument between Mitch and OD. Can anyone elaborate? Thanks!

I HEARD THE CALL IN SHOW ALSO. NORMALLY I WOULD SIDE WITH THE COACH BUT THE ONLY BRIGHT SPOT FOR SIENA THIS SEASON HAS BEEN THE REBOUNDING STATISTICS OF OD. WE HAVE A YOUNG MAN THAT HAS GIVEN HIS ALL FOR SIENA , WELL REPRESENTED THE SCHOOL,AND HAS A CHANCE TO BE A MEMBER OF A VERY VERY EXCLUSIVE BASKETBALL CLUB WITH LEADING THE NATION TWO YEARS IN A ROW IN REBOUNDS.IF MITCH OR ANY OTHER COACH ON THE SIENA TEAM HAS DONE OR IN THE FUTURE DOES ANYTHING TO JEOPARDIZE OD I THINK THE REPERCUSSIONS WILL END ANY FUTURE CAREER IN BASKETBALL FOR THEM.

My seats about 10 rows behind bench. During timeout mitch was drawing a play on the board. OD said something and so it began. OD had to be restrained as both still going back and forth. Coach Carter then pulled him to the end of the bench and had to keep him there. Mitch kept looking OD's way trying to see if he would say anything. Mitch then told OD to get out of here. He then looked at OD and carter and said "He's Done". Then about 10 sec later he looks at coach c and says " he says another word He's Done".

No worries. Our guys still haven't made a decision on Mitchs future. Let's all wait until the end of the year. It's the Francescan way ps---having OD on his side, pretending to support him, was all he had left. I feel so bad for this kid. He's been a great ambassador for this progrma and he had to deal with the worst coach in Siena history his last 3 years.

The corpse of a dead team is now falling apart. Mitch has destroyed every fiber of this team and quite possibly contributed to permanent health injuries by his coaching decisions. I just hope players don't quit the program. I suspect Poole, for one, is thoroughly disgusted and likely to leave if we don't get a good coach in place. Every game brings a new low. Poor OD has tried to set a good example and stay positive.

After tonight Mitch must go. now Another day would end any credibility D'arg or Herr Kevin might have. The treatment of OD is inexcusable and unforgiveable.

We can't say we didn't see this coming. The Mitch era was over after the California trip. Unfortunately the Arm Crosser can still do a lot of damage to the kids and the program over the next few weeks, and there is nothing we can do about it. What a shame.

Thanks for the insight. OD is such a classy young man and it is so sad to see that things have deteriorated this far. I hope the rest of the team hang in there for a new coach next year.

not pretty,
1st half play stopped for trash talking between brooks & OD?
2nd half players mixing it up violently causing T's to brooks & evan.
then the OD/coach spat, vocals quite loud.
embarrassing, can't wait till season ends.

Siena Admin has to be proud of the situation they've allowed to be created here. Yes, it's their fault because they should have "ditched Mitch" at mid season and avoided this disaster. They are and should be held just as accountable for the current strait of Siena basketball as Mitch. I wonder if D'Arg has figured out if Siena is improving yet? Here's another guy that needs to hit the road too! Also, in all probability Mitch's spat with OD on the bench during last nights game and his subsequent benching of OD for the last +13 minutes of the game probably cost OD a "repeat" of the National Division 1 rebounding title.

It should NOT have come to this, I agree. But surely, some of you must realize that this stems from a lack of respect and discipline that successful coaches innately develop in their teams. You can't start the tenure based on the opinions of who the team members think should get the job, never instill discipline, and expect much respect in return when everything goes sideways. The new staff needs to instill The Four Agreements of Shamanic teaching: Be impeccable with your word. Don't take anything personally. Don't make assumptions. Always do your best

Right now...after what happened last night ! I would love to see Siena give Gina Castelli the head coach position for the rest of the season !
1. GREAT P.R. !
2. Kid's might do better !
3. Things won't turn into WWF !
- any idea if she still lives around Albany ?!
