Knowing the abrupt change of direction rattled supporters of a program struggling to live up to a storied past, Iona University leaned on newly-hired men’s basketball coach Dan Geriot to dial up the enthusiasm. The 36-year-old Pennsylvania native with NBA sideline credentials led with passion Tuesday, April 1, when he was officially introduced to students, alumni, staffers and fans in the LaPenta School of Business atrium. “What a time to be at Iona University,” said Geriot, who is the 16th coach in program history. “I think this is groundbreaking. … We don’t even know what the rules are going to be in two years.” Geriot follows Tobin Anderson who was let go March 17 after going 33-34 in two seasons. The Gaels advanced to the championship game of the MAAC tournament last month before falling to Mount St. Mary’s. Anderson was out two days later. 🔗: Read more of the story and see more photos and a video at our link in bio. 📸: Frank Becerra Jr. frankbjrphoto ✍: Mike Dougherty hoops...
