First, I was all in favor of giving Mitch this past year to prove his worth ... the team did not live up to expectations and Siena's decision to go in another direction was the right one.
I think there is more talent on the roster than many are giving the Saints for having. Poole, Burdine, Silas, Martins, Audu, Oliver, Bispring are all viable MAAC level players, with Poole, Burdine and Silas having all maac potential. Hymes/Brookins both have talent that needs discipline. This is the same team that many expected a top 3 finish this year, the talent has not changed all that much. (OD will be a loss but I see Silas and Martins making a big jump without OD in the lane.) Doesnt mean they are going to go for 9th to 1st but the right coach who can fit his style to the players will give them a chance at success.
As for the coach, I would preach patience. As a fan base, we have to let this play out. I'd rather they took their time and made the right choice then to rush in and take the first big name out there. Pitino may or may not be a great candidate but I'd prefer they talked to a couple of different candidates first.
