NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. (AP) — New Orleans Pelicans assistant Dan Geriot was named coach at Iona on Thursday, three days after Tobin Anderson was fired following two years in the job as the replacement for Rick Pitino.

He played at Richmond from 2006-11 and began his coaching career as an assistant at Princeton and Campbell.
