Late Wednesday night, details surfaced regarding a current Siena College investigation into the alleged behavior of men's basketball head coach Jimmy Patsos.
The Siena Saints had a down season last year where Murphy's law seemed to be in full effect. Not only was the team young and inexperienced but losing Point Guard Roman Penn to a heel injury basically ended their season. Head Coach Jimmy Patsos took a step to make sure that wouldn't be the same this year by locking down DeVon Baker, a 6-foot-1, 185-pound senior point guard from SPIRE Institute in Geneva, Ohio.
This is why I love Siena Saints head coach Jimmy Patsos. Some coaches have a down year and they tuck their tail between their legs and beg for mercy, not Patsos. Jimmy goes nationwide recruiting and letting the world know he and the Saints will be back!
One of the many issues leading to a down season for the Siena Saints Men's Basketball team was losing Point Guard Roman Penn for the final nine games of the season. Penn suffered a stress fracture to his heel during a very promising Freshman campaign.
The 10th seeded Siena Saints looked outmatched last night in their 67-58 loss to the 7th seed Quinnipiac Bobcats. It seemed like the Saints had more fouls than points in the first five minutes of the game and never quite got it together in their first round loss. So of course as usual sports fans begin to over react. I'm here to say take a deep breath and let's see what head coach Jimmy Patsos can do with this team now that their not one of the most inexperienced teams in all of college hoops.
