OMG, he is laughing at us!….“Well, I’m glad there’s chatter,” D’Argenio said before the game, breaking into a grin. “That means people have a passion for Siena basketball, which we all want.”…he doesn’t realize that the passion can be lost.
When attendance drops by over a thousand per game maybe he’ll realize we aren’t fools. Someone made a great comment the other day. I’m sure they can tell how many no shows to each game. These people won’t be renewing and he can do the math to figure out the financial risk of keeping Carm. But I agree, it looks like Carm is back for another year.

I’m sure Belber is watching his concessions and parking revenue plummet and is all over Darg. They don’t even bother blocking Pearl street off anymore

This to me was his most telling quote. People are spending good money on season tickets. I am not one of them as I live too far away and just cherry pick a few games a year that work with my high school hoops schedule. I’ll tell you that I will not be attending another game this year. Darg needs to know that people will not support what the program has become.

Only thing these guys will understand is an empty arena, a firm no on season ticket renewals & a tightening up on NIL $ distribution and boosters no longer contributing.
Darg is a fossil , & a major reason why this program hasn’t flourished, he’s done more to set this program back with idiotic hires and bad contracts than anyone else I can think of.
Watching DArg strutting around the arena glad-handing and back-slapping and clueless Carm flounder on the bench as his team repeatedly looks as prepared as a 3rd grade CYO team is sickening!

The problem with looking backward is D’Arg can’t see the impact on the past recruiting on the future roster. Scholarships a locked up and without runoffs and successful portal backfills the future is bleak. Things won’t get better without a change in direction asap.

I assume either way we have atleast 5 sports open up. Def gone unless rules change: Eley Duru Gio Frazier Coyle Most likely gone: Gribben Mason Ojo Could stay: Smith Tekin ME2 Birgisson

The portal is the key and with the current AD and HC it will be more of the same and likely no influx of talented upperclassmen coming in and with your scenario no help from returnees.

Darg sucked as a SID. He is old and clueless and needs to go out to pasture. I have only gone to 2 games and will not be renewing my 4 season tickets.

Seriously who is going to want to play for this guy, you’d have to think the word has been out around AAU and high school coaches in northeast (and maybe further). Even Hart doesn’t send any decent CR kids our way unless they have nowhere else to go.
I can’t see another year or two going by and anything turning out for the positive. If Carm’s version of unwatchable basketball goes on much longer no one is showing up downtown.
What we’re seeing in this article is two guys on the hot seat. One guy with a vote of confidence for the other when both are incompetent means zip!

I won’t be surprised if we have an entire new roster next year like Iona had this year.

After 50+ years I gave up my season ticket this year. Many pleasant and exciting years but this year been depressing so I'm happy nt to attend. Who in the chain of command would be the one to fire D'Arg? His record at coaching hires is dismal except for Fran.

Dude my 3rs grade CYO team was and by 8th grade won area championship- let’s not insult the CYO teams 😸

D'Arg comments is all you need to know about the direction of Siena basketball with him and Carm in charge. Those early wins were mainly from on the backs of Jalen Pickett and Manny Camper whom neither were recruited by Carm. PS Let's all fans show up on february 18th in respect for our 1994 teams run in the NIT's GO SAINTS!! Be patient? Lol. JD missed the window to MAKE TYIS PROGRAM SIGNIFICANT! Sure bigger league, but the recruiting FOLLOWS. WERE a big fish in small pond, now we are a sunfish in an Adirondack pond.

I love the arena and the program,but THIS isn't competitive and frankly, a joke. JD IS LOST.
