“We are extremely happy that John has decided to join the Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s family,” said Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s Director of Athletics Bill Stein. “He has great ties to the area and will continue to lead the men’s basketball in the right direction on the court and in the classroom.”<\/p>\n

“I am excited that my first head coaching job will be at Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s and in the MAAC,” Dunne said. “I really started my career in the MAAC back in 1998 and am looking forward to leading Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s to the MAAC Championship and the NCAA Tournament.”<\/p>\n
A 1992 graduate of Ithaca College with a degree in psychology, Dunne was a three-year starter and served as captain during his senior season. <\/p>\n
