Burke in the final 3 at Siena

Just to supplement DFW's note on the front page, local info indicates that Siena has finished interviewing, narrowing the field to 3. The front-runner appears to be McAffrey fron NCGreensboro, but there is speculation that he may be using the Siena interviews to get more money where he is. The third candidate is a very successful local Div. II coach. Good luck to Rob, although it would be tough to lose him after just 1 year.

BULLET DODGED! While I wish the best to Coach Burke, I am a selfish GU fan, so I am glad that he is with us moving forward. Great to have their work validated by this consideration. I don't remember a similar thing happening during past years.

I agree. I want the best for Coach Burke as well but I'd like to have him with us for at least 1 more year before he gets his own head coaching job.
