Here’s today’s edition of the Daily Dirt…
• I can confirm that Hudson Valley CC head coach Ken Dagostino has been hired as the head coach at Ave Maria (FL). Dagostino had been the head coach at HVCC for the past four seasons (74-44). He also served as the DBO at Albany from 2007-09. The official announcement is expected shortly.
• I have heard from multiple sources that Jim Rullo will be named as the next head coach at Neumann University (PA). The former Drexel player has been serving as the head coach at Malvern Prep (PA). He has also spent time as an assistant at both Drexel and Hobart.
• Guys who want to get into the business should read this: http://chronicle.com/article/Bounced-Around/139581… . It is the unbelievable journey of Elwyn McRoy and his 12 coaching jobs in 16 years. It’s incredible what coaches will go through to stay in this business – I give Coach McRoy a ton of credit for for working hard and following his dreams (and we appreciate him mentioning HoopDirt!).
