To fill the void on Matt Brady&#8217;s staff, <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.timesunion.com\/collegesports\/mike-deane-hired-as-james-madison-assistant\/13836\/\">JMU has hired Mike Deane<\/a>. Deane has head coaching experience including stops at Marquette, Sienna, and most recently Wagner. In his first year at Sienna he had the opportunity to coach a senior point guard with impeccably parted hair named Matt Brady. Yes, that Matt Brady. Now Brady is bringing his old coach back to help him right the ship after a disappointing 2011-2012 season.<\/p>\n<p>I know what you&#8217;re thinking already. &#8220;But he&#8217;s just an assistant coach, what&#8217;s the big deal?&#8221; I&#8217;ll tell you what the big deal is. It&#8217;s summer and until we hear some real news coming for the CAA meetings, we have nothing to write about. Nothing at all. So when JMU hires an assistant coach who once <a href=\"http:\/\/sportsillustrated.cnn.com\/2008\/writers\/kevin_armstrong\/01\/04\/wagner.buckle\/index.html\">installed a seatbelt on his sideline chair in an attempt to avoid technicals<\/a>, we absolutely need to post about it. It&#8217;s in our by-laws.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to receiving his 15 minutes for the seatbelt gag, Deane has racked up over 400 wins as a head coach. He has a lifetime record of 437-322. He also has taken 3 different teams, Marquette, Siena, and Lamar, to the NCAA tournament. In 1989 his Siena team upset a Stanford team that had gone 26-7 and earned a 3 seed. Deane&#8217;s most recent stop was at Wagner, where he managed to have only 2 winning seasons in 7 years. He was fired in 2010 after Wagner struggled to a 5-26 record. His admirers, such as ESPN analyst and former Vermont coach Tom Brennan, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.silive.com\/colleges\/index.ssf\/2010\/03\/deane_not_ready_to_give_up_coa.html\">claim he&#8217;s one of the best X&#8217;s and O&#8217;s guys around<\/a>. However, his detractors allege that he simply isn&#8217;t able to relate to today&#8217;s players. Here&#8217;s to hoping the admirers are right.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fjmusportsblog.com%2F%3Fp%3D3996&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week former JMU assistant coach Lou Rowe left to take an assistant position at Rider.
