Siena College now has to hire a new women's basketball coach, too.
Less than a week after men's coach Carmen Maciariello was let go, Jim Jabir, the women's coach, announced his retirement after three seasons into his 2nd stint with Siena (he previously coached from 1987-90). What may have brought the decision forward wasn't so much losing so many players to the transfer portal after being eliminated in the MAAC semifinals nearly 2 weeks ago, but that his wife, Angela, has left Siena to take a job at Stanford University. The Jabirs are relocating to California. In addition to his two tours at Siena, Jabir's resume also includes stops at Providence, Buffalo State, Dayton, Marquette, & Florida Atlantic.
WNYT's Rodger Wyland, writing in today's Albany Times-Union, is touting former UAlbany & Patroons coach Will Brown, fresh off a season with the College of St. Rose, as Jabir's successor, with former Syracuse star Gerry McNamara a front-runner for the men's job.
Again, Siena really doesn't need a national coaching search, not when the answer's in their own backyard. Plus, assistant coach Terry Primm deserves a promotion.
