Eh I respectfully disagree Cager. If Reggie had shown any effort whatsoever to build relationships with alums, students, boosters, season ticket holders, etc., I would be more inclined to agree with you. If he hadn't done things like inexplicably sit Malek Green, Jamir Moultrie, Kassius Robertson, Isaiah Reese (I'm sure there are others) and whatever in the world is going on with Staveskie and Long, I would be more inclined to agree with you. If he didn't routinely make other awful coaching decisions, I'd be more inclined to agree with you. The bottom line is that if you were to summarize his time at Canisius, you could write a hell of a book about what not to do as a D1 basketball coach. And all of that is why he will be out in a month. And all of that is why there is zero sympathy for this guy.

I agree with Griff 100%. No more chances. Time to move on.

Griff,
You did a great job in encapsulating all of my frustrations. Yes, he has unexplicably taken out key players out of the game at critical times. My first recollection was in his first or second year, when he pulled Kassius Robinson in the MAAC tournament when we were fighting to stay in the tournament. We were struggling from the field and Kassius was clearly our best offensive ballplayer. We, obviously, lost the game. Next year, Robinson transfers and goes on to star at MISSOURI.
In terms of the shroud of secrecy surrounding Stravesky and Long, I still don't know what is going on beyond this vague note that they have lower leg injuries that will keep them out the rest of the season. I beleive they don't lose the year of eligibility. It's easy to speculate what the possibilities are.
It's, of course, frustrating to see Tre get beat up on the court without much help given the players they have. Maybe coach is trying, but I can't see much to free Tre up to get him an open shot. I do respect the efforts of all of the team, but the bench isn't very deep or highly talented.
Frank has been a monster on the boards and on the inside. If the Griffs are lucky, Frank will be around next year.
I wish the entire program a successful future, but it is abundantly obvious what are some of the needced changes that are needed.
