You’ve seen Siena College men’s basketball coach Jimmy Patsos roaming the sidelines during Saints games at the Times Union Center.

B’nai Sholom Reform Congregation will host “Bagels and Basketball” with Jimmy Patsos on Sunday, October 30, at 10:30 a.m. B’nai Sholom is located at 420 Whitehall Road, Albany, New York.

Admission is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.

                Entering his fourth season at Siena, Patsos will talk about Saints basketball and his thoughts on the upcoming season. He also will describe what it was like winning a national championship at Maryland in 2002. The program will include time for questions and answers, giving the audience a chance to “ask the Coach.”
