First, Mit...Dolores --<br />We'll agree to disagree.<br />First, Mitch did most of the game-planning, and helped devise the style of play, under McCaffery.<br />Second ... he was the guy who developed the game plan when Villanova defeated Georgetown in the 1985 NCAA championship game.<br />Third ... you have no idea about the situation at Fairfield 20 years ago.<br />Make no mistake: The guy is a terrific coach.<br />But, any team that loses three all-time players and, then, has its second-best returnee hurt basically the entire year is bound to regress.<br />People who know something about basketball understand why Siena finished 8-10 in the MAAC this year.<br />But, knee-jerk "fans" who have little patience and are ready to ditch Mitch without giving the guy a real chance ... well, I don't think those type of fans know much about basketball.<br />End of debate.Steve Amediohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06557652851061527816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014040350302121545.post-35312031114508723892011-03-02T13:10:03.988-08:002011-03-02T13:10:03.988-08:00Siena HAD a very good coach in place but he left f...Siena HAD a very good coach in place but he left for Iowa. <br /><br />Mitch Buonaguro has had six straight losing seasons in the MAAC now dating back to his Fairfield days. He is 45-97 (.317) in his last 5 years as a head coach. How will it get better next year without the likely PoY in Ryan Rossiter? Mitch was hired to keep the continuity from the McCaffery era and it wasn't a bad thought and certainly Siena was going to take a step back but not this drastic. Worse the team has gotten worse as the season has gone on. Some people aren't made to be head coaches - nothing wrong with that. <br /><br />If Paul Hewitt is out there and wants to return to Siena. I'd make the move and I'm sure Siena would too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04806568641521906613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014040350302121545.post-34578302480285706792011-03-02T12:58:03.579-08:002011-03-02T12:58:03.579-08:00Dear Dolores --
