Iona already has eyes on a replacement as the school is targeting New Orleans Pelicans assistant coach Dan Geriot, according to ESPN. Geriot, a former Cavaliers assistant, spent one season as the head coach of Cleveland’s G League affiliate in 2021-22.

In just year two under Tobin Anderson, Iona basketball was just 40 minutes away from reaching the NCAA Tournament. The Gaels eventually fell short against Mount St. Mary’s in the MAAC title game, but they still seemed to be on an upward trajectory heading into year three with Anderson at the helm.
