Gerry McNamara will be the new head coach of the Siena men’s basketball team, according to NewsChannel 13’s Rodger Wyland.
There will be a press conference at some point before the week is out.
The 15-year assistant coach at Syracuse University takes over for Carmen Maciariello, who was fired last week after a dismal 4-28 season for the Saints.
