Siena Basketball: GMAC / Blackwell / AO

Is that right?

I’ll make sure to get that back to Gerry then. Don’t want him entertaining any P4 jobs before you think he’s ready.

Pretty sure he agrees with me. If he stays on the current trajectory, he'll have his pick.

Thinking those resumes are similar is what's truly mind-boggling.

Big fan of GMac. Looks like he could be a great coach.

He's not ready for P4 ball.

The difference between sienna and usf is quite large. I went to the game Siena played against Fairfield. Sat by the bench. Paid a lot of attention to Gerry’s coaching. Love his fire and leadership. It would be a welcome change. Did not love the offensive design. It was better than Red though. And I think he’s going to get better. But not sure he’s ready to take on the SU job. I think he could one day though.

it’s what Red should have done. It’s hard to learn on the job in the ACC.

I will agree that for various reasons GMAC would not be the fit right now at SU.
But TPTB really screwed up picking Red over GMAC three years ago.
Listen to the interview posted on a previous page.
GMAC gets it as far as what he expects from his players and what culture he wanted to build.
Sadly, Red had absolutely no clue how to build a culture and how to get his players to improve.
Thus, the team regresses as the year goes on and the attitude of the players literally goes down the toilet.

And yes, I adore GMAC and think he will be a great SU coach one day.
But Hodgson is the better pick right now.

I didn't initially think we'd end up with Hodgson (by SU's choice), but the more I watch his teams, the more I want that style of play here.
