Time Cluess Stepping Down at Iona

[Wags]

Iona announces Tim Cluess is stepping down due to health concern. Will remain in an advisory role.

Probably nothing coronavirus related, as he had announced health issues a while back.

Either way, I hope he'll be okay and I wish him the best.

I wonder if Farley or Speedy would be considered for the head coaching job

[Jojogunne]

I would think Grasso would be the leading candidate:

Pitino gets the job.

My, how the mighty have fallen.

[stuball888]

Wow how much are they paying him?

[Wags]

Pitino to Iona is almost as shocking at the NCAA tournament being canceled.

Crazy times.

It will be harder for us to get media attention when a mid-major in the area has a famous coach.

According to the Post, he'll be getting slightly less than the 1.1mil that Cluess was getting. It's a five year deal.

Cluess got 1.1 mil Boy no wonder he didnt leave Iona

Petino has 6 verbals already at Iona including a 7-1 kid...wonder if Gaels will get new arena while Petino is there ?

[HofstraHockey]

They just finished a $6 mil renovation on the existing place. That's not a no, but I can't see them going for it right away. https://www.lohud.com/story/sports/coll ... 151987001/
