Cluess retiring I guess is possible. But when the same report mentions Grasso, who is under contract and his team's season is in progress ... doubtful any of it's true. Iona, I doubt, would have had contact with a coach under contract. Maybe I'm wrong ...

I don't believe it either.
With Tim keeping the nature of his illness a state secret for this long there's no way he allows a plan to retire leak out.
Also, as others have said, the Grasso part makes it even less credible.
I call bullshit.

Rumors like this are the result of nothing being said for 2 months. I know Iona is in a tough position and Cluess may still not know exactly what his future holds.
My guess is we will probably get another statement from Cluess sometime between now and the start of the Maac tourney.

I know that Jared has a lot of friends on this board, myself included, but Bryant (6-11) is not exactly tearing up the NEC. No doubt that he's a GREAT recruiter, but is he the right guy to replace TC, whenever TC does step down?

59 — fair point but remember that Bryant won just two games the season before Jared took over. Not saying they are world beaters by any means, but he has done a respectable job so far with very little to work with.

My guess is we will probably get another statement from Cluess sometime between now and the start of the Maac tourney. Unless there is a definitive statement that Cluess is either coming back or not, I would prefer for Iona/Cluess not to respond to this speculation. This coaching changes account is run by multiple individuals and they are the type to respond to any press releases questioning their tweet. Just let this speculation die down and go away. It would just be better for Cluess to contact the primary recruiting targets and assure them he plans to return if that's the case. I have already heard from a few coaches from the AAU ranks asking if there's any truth to the tweet. This "report" has to be addressed by Cluess and the staff, but in my opinion, not in public.

This is why it has to be addressed with recruits. This site has a huge following and most are programs that Iona recruits from, including all of the JUCO programs that have kids Iona has recently offered.
As far as Grasso, he will be at the very top of the list.

More likely dropped by someone who has a recruiting interest on one of our targeted kids.

Smells like disinformation. And if it is on twitter or Facebook as we have seen re politics, those platforms that do not vet content for truthfulness or balance are cess-pools of disinformation. Critical thinking 101 - is it logical? Is it sourced? Are the sources cited? Does the author have an agenda? Etc.
