Dickinson found its new men’s basketball coach a couple hours to the west, picking Penn State-Altoona coach Alan Seretti to fill the vacancy. Seretti replaces Dennis Csensits who left the College to take a development position at his alma mater, DeSales.

Seretti went 45-59 in four seasons with the Lions and led them to the last three AMCC tournaments. Prior to his arrival, Penn State-Altoona's all-time record was 40-131 with no winning seasons. The Lions finished above .500 for the first time ever under Seretti in 2007-2008 (14-13) followed by this year's 14-12 mark.

“Coach Seretti has taken our basketball program to new heights during his four-year tenure, and we are thankful for his many contributions to our program and the university,” said Penn State-Altoona Athletic Director Ferdina M. Ingold in a statement on the team's website. “His tireless efforts have yielded positive results not only on the basketball court but also in the classroom and throughout the community. All of us at Penn State Altoona wish him the best of luck and have no doubt he will find success in his future endeavors.”

Seretti takes over a Dickinson program that finished 12-12 last year, ninth of ten teams in the Centennial Conference. The Red Devils have had just one winning season since 2002-2003. Seretti replaces Dennis Csensits who went 60-115 in seven seasons at Dickinson.

Prior to Penn State-Altoona, Seretti was the assistant coach at Washington and Jefferson for three seasons. He was a three year letter winner at Allegheny and made two NCAA tournament appearances with the Gators before graduating in 1999. He is also a 2002 graduate of the Duquesne University School of Law.

Penn State-Altoona has begun a search process to fill its vacancy.
