GMAC / Blackwell / AO to Siena

Let's suit 'em up like they do in baseball!

Who wouldn't want to see some of these guys in tank tops and shorts?

Ugh. Now I have a mental image of Rick Majerus (rest his soul) and Bobby Huggins wearing uniforms.

I was actually going to use Rick Majerus as an example, then I remembered he passed - RIP.

I agree 100%… I know people here have given me a hard time for letting it known I’m a hs hoops coach when talking about stuff … I can tell you with Great certainty that Gerry has “it”… that post game interview everyone should watch and it will tell you .. No nervousness … Understands his expectations for his players and his culture .. Built from how he played … He has a chip on his shoulder and that is dangerously good in coaching .. . in the interview he said to the announcer “ you know how I played and I could not take a play off” His players love and take in his coaching.. My other thing that will benefit him is Red has talked about “playing the NIL and portal game and not pissing players off” .that’s hard for red in first job at a big school .. Gerry is at Siena and is learning to not give in or lose his edge cause he's wining with lesser players anyway …Gerry won’t cave if your not playing good. Dude is gonna be a great coach!… It’s written all over him

I know most of us on this board could have cared less what JB thought about things in his final years.
But I dare say no one got a better look at who Red and Gerry were and what kind of coach each would make. I think there may have been a reason, other than personal fondness, why JB wanted GMAC to succeed him. Maybe he could see that Gerry had the “it factor”

Doty back again doing it all. Team reminds me of the old bob Huggins WVU teams the way they turn other teams over in the backcourt off inbounds passes etc. It all starts with Doty, he is the ultimate scrapper. Would really love for him to end up in Orange

Surprised we never even gave him a sniff, being a local boy and all.
Gerry said in an interview he was his number one recruiting priority once he got the Siena job.
Basically said Doty epitomized what he wanted the team to be
