When one of the three Iona assistants are away recruiting, Masiello is allowed to be on the floor for practice.On Friday, the two will be in the NCAA Tournament together, as No. 13 Iona looks to upset fourth-seeded Connecticut in a West Region opening-round game in Albany., just two weeks before his 12th season at the MAAC school.
He worked for him from 2005-11 at Louisville, and was part of two Elite Eight teams, developing a reputation as an elite recruiter and strong assistant coach.The Jaspers lost more games than they won six of the next seven years, but there were high expectations this year in Riverdale. “Manhattan did Iona the greatest favor in the world, because we got Stevie Mas on our staff, and he did a wonderful job,” Pitino said the night Iona won the MAAC Tournament. “Thank you, Manhattan.”
