Siena Basketball: GMAC / Blackwell / AO

Siena just won their 20th game.
Second straight game without their big forward Chandler due to unexplained
NCAA eligibility issue.
Without his presence, they probably won’t get very far in the tournament
Cheers to Gerry - from 4 wins to 20 wins in just 2 years.
A fine achievement 😀

Didn't Gerry learn anything from 2012? Screw the NCAA and play Chandler
 
Siena is +330 to win the MAAC tourney .. 2nd only to Merrimack who is +310 .. so Vegas likes the Saints .. Some of you have Gerry under a microscope for coaching … I’ve watched a lot of their games .. Dude can coach , but more importantly has control of his team and staff .. He has the edge ..He runs offense even thought some of you cannot see that .. It comes down to players executing and every team has a flat game here and there .. Look at St. John’s and Pitino at UCONn .. Yeah it’s UCONN but St. John’s was flat and that’s one of the best HCs around .. It happens

I definitely think he'd be an upgrade over Red, just not as big as others mentioned here. At least not at this time. He was 13-7 in the MAAC. That's decent, but not amazing.

What is so impressive is his team has been devastated by injuries and the temporary? NCAA suspension of Chandler who is their big man and big rebounder.
Lets not forget he took them to 20 wins from 4 wins two years ago.
And has a decent shot at making the NCAAT, Siena has not been there since 2010.

The team plays hard because he completely remade the team culture in his image.
They fight really hard!

Fact of the matter is - if he gets to the NCAAT, there will be a lot of places coming calling.

But I would be shocked if he left so soon, he really likes it there, unless an incredible opportunity presented itself.

Don't see him replacing Red but dang, the powers that be picked the wrong assistant coach 3 years ago.
Sometimes you cant rely on seniority or what the optics look like, you really have to evaluate who would be the best head coach. Supposedly JB pushed for Gerry, but was overruled for Red.

Chandler’s eligibility issue might have something to do with this being his 7th year playing college basketball.Just saying!

Wouldn’t that have been investigated before he was granted the extra year(s)? Wonder if some other issue related to it just came to light. Oops didn’t see Cliftonpark’s post before posting myself.

You would think it would have been looked at but nothing surprises me anymore in college athletics.
 
What I love about Doty is not only how he produces on the court, but what a leader he is for his teammates.
I dont know 100% that Doty could be a starter for SU.
But I know he could have been a desperately needed leader.

Not for nothing, whoever comes in, they need to bring in someone who can not only produce but lead his teammates. SU has not had that in years.

Chandler’s paperwork to the NCAA was sent in, but never finalized. The person on his case took a new job and didn’t complete it. As a result, his name won’t show up when NCAA rosters come out. It’s a problem.

Was that new job at SU? Sounds like something this school screw up.

The love for Baby Shark Hodgson and hate on GMAC for what are very similar resumes is mind boggling

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.
