Siena hires Jamion Christian as men's basketball coach

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) Although the search for a new coach took longer than many expected, Siena knew it had the right man for the job as soon as school officials met with Mount St. Mary's coach Jamion Christian.

That happened eight days ago, and on Wednesday Christian was named to succeed Jimmy Patsos.

"I'll be honest, I never knew this opportunity would be there for me," Christian said at an afternoon news conference at Times Union Center in downtown Albany where the Saints play their home games.
