    After firing former men’s basketball coach Tobin Anderson, Iona wasted no time in naming his replacement.

    Iona appointed Dan Geriot head coach after he spent the last nine seasons as an assistant with the Cleveland Cavaliers and New Orleans Pelicans. In addition, Iona is announcing its intentions to hire the first-ever general manager for the program in the upcoming days.

    “The landscape of college basketball has changed dramatically over the last couple of years. In order to sustain the success Iona basketball has achieved over several decades, we need a different orientation and structure for the program,” said Seamus Carey, Ph.D., Iona president. “Dan Geriot’s experience fits the needs of the program well and we are confident that under his guidance, our student-athletes will grow and succeed both on and off the court.”
