Gerry McNamara

Syracuse University officials formally introduced former star guard Gerry McNamara as the program's ninth head basketball coach on Monday.

McNamara played at Syracuse and spent 14 years as an assistant coach with the Orange before spending the last two years as the head coach at Siena.

Duke rallied from 13 points down to beat the 16th-seeded Siena Saints 71-65 Thursday.

McNamara, who won a national championship at Syracuse in 2003, would not say if he has been contacted by Syracuse about the opening.
