Fran McCaffery has reenergized Siena's storied basketball program in his three years at the helm. He has also helped lead the Capital Region efforts for Coaches vs. Cancer in that time. Coach McCaffery has partnered with UAlbany Head Coach Will Brown to raise close to $300,000 for the fight against cancer. McCaffery has proven to be a leader in the community both on and off the basketball court.
After guiding the Saints to the fifth greatest turnaround in all of Division I in his first year, McCaffery helped the Saints to a 20-win season and a MAAC Championship game appearance in his second. Last season, Siena took the biggest step forward under his direction, earning the MAAC Regular-Season and Tournament Championship as well as an NCAA Tournament First Round win over Vanderbilt.
