Honestly it seems to be a theme. I'm fine with it, by the way, as long as other options are better at that spot. I’m not fine with it. The fact that Carm prefers a ACL-torn Gaines for one year over 3 years of Martin. I’ve asked before and I’ll ask again….what sort of blackmail material does Gaines have on Carm??? I thought you were through with claims of criminality against a player . You are one sick puppy.

What kind of factual information would you like? As for names, I’m not releasing them for the sake of my son’s privacy, even though I’d really really like to. I get it, an issue may exist but….. Without knowing the player, circumstance & exact nature of the the conflict with Carm it’s hard to tell what’s going on. I’ve seen this soooooo many times with coaches and athletics. Some coaches are demanding, some kids are more sensitive to criticism or being challenged, some rise to the challenge, others don’t, there’s a lot that can be going on behind the scenes. I just don’t think accusations coming anonymously second hand & without factual details are appropriate. OI not responding to your comment but just in general based on the few who say players dislike the coach. I’d be more worried if all but two players didn’t like Carm. The potential fact that maybe two dislike him and maybe the remaining do like him makes me feel better. Look, no coach is perfect. I’m sure some players didn’t like, Mike, Paul & Fran and they were/are considered great Siena coaches. I hope Carm gets to that level of Siena greatness as well.

My son is very close with some of the members of the team and there are many more than 2 players that don’t like Carm. They don’t like Castagna either. Carm has a pattern of not telling the truth to his players and to the media. To many he seems like the hometown hero, but behind the scenes he’s definitely not a hero. If this is true (and I have no idea if it is or is not), Carm needs to go ASAP. Like I said, I have no idea if it’s true but from all the departures and seeing the way he treats players differently, it wouldn’t surprise me anymore. I hope it’s not true. I said when Carm made the Carp comment ‘he was really sore and needed to stay home to take care of class work’ that Carm needs to say nothing at all or give the ‘its an internal team matter and I’m not going to discuss it’ but don’t lie to us. If he lies in statements like that it’s not to big of a jump for me to think he is lying to others.

What if Carm literally meant after Carp practiced that week before the game and Carp WAS sore and Carm didn’t lie at all? We’ll never know. The article said before tipoff that Carp could possibly play if Siena advanced. I’m not saying he didn’t lie but I just find it odd that we’re thinking he did w/o evidence.

Granted I am speculating but it just seems odd that a couple of days later Carp goes in the portal. I also think he said if they made it to Fri he ‘might come down.’ I don’t think he used the word ‘play.’ And if a player truly is to sore to play in a tournament game with a groin injury, he is going to be better in 24 hours? I said it at the time…just don’t lie to us Carm. Say nothing or give the coachspeak. So while I can’t say that all of this true, it wouldn’t surprise me in the least.

I’m assuming that AC was one of the two players who didn’t like Carm (per the other unnamed source). That would make sense especially if AC felt he wasn’t being allow to play PG more. The problem was he didn’t seem to play the point as well as maybe we’d w expect a PG to play it. I hate to see any Siena player leave but Siena usually lands in it’s feet and I expect the same next year. Carm will find 2-3 transfers in the portal and the team as a hole will overachieve like they did this season in spite of all our injuries.
