New Manhattan Coach Steve Masiello Talks Hoops

New Manhattan coach Steve Masiello dropped by the SNY.tv studio today to talk about taking over the MAAC program.

Masiello talked about his vision for the program, which went 6-25 a year ago; his recruiting plans; and his goals for hiring a staff.

A former Knicks ball boy, Masiello even chimed in on the skill-set of TheKnicksBlog.com author Tommy Dee, and gave his prediction for the upcoming Knicks-Celtics series.

As a side note, neither Russ Smith nor George Goode will be coming to Manhattan from Louisville, despite rumors to the contrary.
