Is the relative silence re: coaching search good?

[glensfalls]

A couple of quick questions

1. Do you believe that the relative quiet search of the new Siena head coach god or bad?personally I would like to hear more names in the newspapers mentioned.

2. Do you believe Siena will have its new coach hired before the NCAA Championship game?

Thanks.

I think it’s a good thing, I’m sure a few interviews have taken place. I would also guess many of the candidates were still coaching their teams the last 10 days or so. I would expect the search to “heat” up this week as many of the candidates complete their season.. Might as well take your time conduct a thorough search and get the right guy. I would guess Siena will have a coach in place sometime in next few weeks

1. It's good...means things are getting done without the media speculation

2. Yes (Between April 1-5 coach will be announced IMHO)

This board will have more knowledge of who's in the mix than the Times Union will. So don't wait for them to enlighten you, they won't.

Silence is golden, but also disturbing. I was excited, hearing about Patsos, then Pitino would be great, now.... dead silence.... hope that doesn't mean all of the top candidates are out and they are moving on to tier two people. Understood that Jimmy and Loyola are playing this afternoon yet. But a lot of Richard Pitino talk, now none. Is that a bad sign that the Pitinos were interested initially, but have now moved on?

Hoopdirt reported today the top 3 are Pitino, Patsos, and Brady, and that 2 of them have already been on campus.

Thats impossible with the coaching drones in place. We would surely have heard about that.....

MTS will be camped out at Albany International airport warching everyone who lands, rumor has it there has been some payola to gate agents for tips. I give it 2 weeks at best.

The camping out is not necessary now that the trackers have been installed.

This is accurate in one regard. Brady played at Siena and Patsos had his Loyola team practice at Siena. They have both been on campus.

None of that is accurate. They certainly haven't interviewed anyone on campus yet. The fact is no one knows what the hell D'Arg is doing. He's been traveling around meeting with people at neutral locations, but isn't talking to a soul about it. If the people I speak to have no idea what's going on, then Hoopdirt certainly doesn't.

Brady and patsos! I certainly would not be happy

I couldn't agree more. D'Arg blows this hire he should be the next to go. This program is in a critical spot we need a home run hire.

[glensfalls]

I lack confidence that D'Argenio will get it done.

I hope he proves me wrong.

In the past, Brady said he would never interview for the Siena coaches job again. I hope he keeps his word.
