Marian I see listed as an Athletics Ambassador on an Iona directory. That could be old, not sure.

I believe Lou passed a couple of years ago. Sorry to hear that. He was a nice guy and they were a nice couple. May he RIP.

That would be Ed (Dawg) Cooley now at Providence.
I’m sure they’re also hoping to divert some Stepinac talent from the ACC.

ED COOLEY is not only a great coach , he is also a great guy He might well be a great guy, but I remember how he denigrated Iona when he was at FF. Didn't sit too well with me.

"I ain't worried about Iona, dog," Cooley said. "I ain't worried about them. I don't have to see them until Monday night. I could give two (bleeps) about Iona. I'll worry about them if we get to that Monday night. Right now Iona is Iona and Fairfield is Fairfield."

Right or wrong, but that influenced my opinion of EC.

Really nothing to report about the current roster. All we have seen are the pics of the team in the weight room. Per Twitter the staff is spread out recruiting at a couple different AAU and JUCO showcase events. Have not seen any reports of Pitino at any events. I'm sure there would be reports of him at a event again recruiting for the 1st time in 4 years. The news I want to hear is that Jolly and Duach are finally on campus. That would make me feel much better Duach appears to be playing for an Australian youth team whose season looks like it goes into August.

I'm not sure of the rules, but I'm under the impression that you must be enrolled in classes in order to live on campus, and since the July summer session started about two weeks ago, maybe he can't arrive until August. But, like I said, I'm not sure.

When RP agreed to coach the Greek Olympic team, do you think that he was expecting the "Greek Freak" to be on the team?
