Coach Carm

One coach will take the sidelines for the very first time in the lead chair. The other looks to secure an allusive MAAC Championship that has been snagged from his team's grips the past two seasons. Fans will eagerly return to their seats that have collected dust since March of 2020. Tuesday night, empty basketball venues will be a thing of the past for the Capital Region's two Division I basketball programs.

Earlier today, the Siena Saints men's basketball team announced on Twitter that assistant coach Bob Simon is leaving for Eastern Michigan.

For the first time since signing his extension with Siena college, Men's Basketball Head Coach Carmen Maciariello joins Levack in the afternoon here on 1045 The Team ESPN Radio. Coach Carm gives an over view of where the Saints are in their offseason program as well as anything he took away from the NCAA Tournament Championship last night.

If you were wondering just what you could expect from the Siena Saints Men's basketball team when they were finally able to take the court you weren't alone. Furthermore, if you were pleasantly surprised by just how strong the Saints have looked so far again you'd be joined by myself and many others. That's not meant to be a knock on the Saints or their coach Carmen Maciariello, that's just acknowledging the journey this team has faced in its attempt to even practice together. The Saints 2-0 start gained high praise from two-time MAAC coach of the year King Rice of Monmouth.

That wasn't the entire call though. Coach Carm is teaming up with other coaches and people in around college basketball to help players not only register to vote but also how to stay informed on the issues surrounding the candidates.
