Geriot, with a decade of NBA experience, steps in after Tobin Anderson's firing and a 17-17 season for the Gaels.

Dan Geriot, previously an assistant coach with the New Orleans Pelicans, has been appointed as Iona College's new men's basketball head coach.
The hiring comes three days after the dismissal of Tobin Anderson, who served as head coach for two seasons following Rick Pitino's tenure.
