Subject: Is the men's basketball program terminally ill?

I've been following the Griffs for over 50 years, but I have never had my enthusiasm for my alma mater so sapped. I remember a student body that fully supported the program heading down to the Aud to watch a game.The Aud would rock. Many of us living in the the dorms would listen to away games pounding on our walls and desks in exciting highly contested games. That's all gone now.
Even a decade ago, I would attend the MAAC tournament in Albany with President Hurley sitting in front of me supporting the Griffs. I attended a post tournament alumni reception in Springfield with Coach Baron, Dennis Misko, Tony Massiello, etc. That's all gone now.
We can't even get a straight answer today when "injured" players are going to come back with no clear description of the injuries except some vague comments by announcers during the game.
The basketball program use to help create an allegiance among alumni, students and the greater Buffalo community. That's barely alive.

No, it isn't just the coach that doesn't communicate and reach out to the greater Canisius community. I hope President Stoute can see the need for significant change to put a little life back into to program. It just may be too late.

I get what you’re saying because I remember that too. I don’t think it’s too late Griffs basketball needs major overhaul and changes beyond just the coach. This isn’t just a money thing that an excuse from a Canisius University administration that doesn’t know how to use the money they have because they refuse to change. The Canisius University logo was very average at best and could have been done better incorporating the City of Buffalo. But Canisius University refuses to change much from what they have been doing for 20 years. I am not impressed with the Canisius University President Stoute at all he is way too vague and slow what he is going to do. KAC needs to add banners like St Bonaventure, Niagara and UB that is a start make the KAC into a real home instead of a coat of White paint it’s like lipstick on a pig. The whole United States can see this and I think Canisius University administration has to realize it’s not 20 years ago where you can hide all of Canisius basketball warts with KAC because few people saw the games. Today with ESPN+ all the games are available and people notice this stuff and say no I am doing KAC. At least pretend your trying Canisius University they don’t even bother to do that anymore which yes is sad but it’s never too late. People have to be fired at Canisius University. I not talking a few that whole Birds nest of mediocrity and do something close to nothing but different than the day before needs to be fired. I would give Canisius University President Stoute so far a grade of F. He gets one more year if he does nothing this offseason coming up he should be shown the door fired. Because Canisius University is at rock bottom and this nonsense of saying little and doing nothing can’t go on much longer before more damage is done. I think it’s 50/50 Canisius University is still open at a university in the 2030’s in my opinion. Go Griffs! Let’s Go Buffalo
