Anyone, like IndianSaint , that follows the Siena Women's team closely, know what the real story is with the coach? He seems to be a disciplinarian but I thought he had an excellent resume and was surprised by what is publicly being inferred. |

Anyone, like IndianSaint , that follows the Siena Women's team closely, know what the real story is with the coach? He seems to be a disciplinarian but I thought he had an excellent resume and was surprised by what is publicly being inferred. I have no information, other than what I read in the newspaper. I don’t know coach personally but I’ve spoken with him many times and been at functions he’s spoken at and nothing I’ve seen gives me cause for concern. I’m not saying he did or didn’t say something another individual could take offense with but nothing has ever indicated to me that he could/would say anything derogatory. Now if you told me it was Jimmy P who said something, I’d probably tend to believe them. 😂 The paper said that as soon as Siena found out about the complaint they turned it o Dr to the Title IX unit for investigation. The coach voluntarily stepped down from coaching until investigation of over. So this is nothing like what’s happened at UA since that Coach continued to coach and was only suspended 5 games (albeit not the first 5 consecutive). 🙂 I just can’t wait till this investigation is over and any punishment (if warranted) is served do we can get back on with our great season these young women are having. Here’s the thing that doesn’t make sense to me; if coach is raciest in any way (which I’m not saying he is and I’d be very surprised if he were) why would his #1 assistant be with him for all these (6) years? Just didn’t make sense to me. But what do I know? |

Team looks real good. Too 8 are strong. Let’s hope this gets resolved soon and they can continue to get better and be a great team.

She was touted as one of the better players coming in this season. She’ll be a redshirt freshman and we may continue with the ROW honors. 🙂 That and improving on our MAAC record and tournament play. I’m still holding out hope that we can still make some noise in the MAAC tournament this year. |

www.timesunion.com/sports/article/Siena-women-s-basketball-wins-third-straight-in-17697215.php“ Siena women's basketball assistant coach Terry Primm gave credit to head coach Jim Jabir for establishing a team culture that allows the Saints to deal with various kinds of adversity.” “ He (Jabir) sets a great tone in terms of us being a family and us being a linked chain and just staying tight no matter what happens," Primm said. "We've experienced adversity in the past. We've had kids not feel well and we've had to react to that kind of thing. We've had kids struggle academically and we've had to throw our arms around them and rally as a team. So he wouldn't want it any other way but for us to stick together and stay strong and rally." Me too!!! "I tend to respect the process and just let it run its course," Primm said. "I think any outside comments could negatively influence (the investigation) one way or the other. And so, we've decided to just let the school handle it. It's the best way for the kids and then when it's over, we're pretty sure it's going to be a favorable resolution, so we just wait for that day."
