Iona Names NBA Veteran Dan Geriot as New Head Basketball Coach

The college plans to modernize its program with a general manager hire and a focus on NIL opportunities.

Dan Geriot, a former NBA assistant coach with a decade of experience, has been appointed as Iona's new head basketball coach.
Iona is set to hire its first-ever general manager to enhance NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) opportunities for players.
Geriot brings extensive expertise in player development, having worked with the Cleveland Cavaliers and New Orleans Pelicans, and as head coach in the G League.
The decision to replace Tobin Anderson, who led Iona to the MAAC Championship game this season, has drawn attention and criticism.
LeBron James publicly congratulated Geriot on social media, reflecting their prior working relationship during James' time with the Cavaliers.
