Not sure what might come of a coaching change if it does happen but more likely to get an assistant at a mid major or a div 2 or 3 head coach, but the true unknown is the division 1 basketball future of the smaller tuition driven schools like Canisius where serious NIL money is just a dream. I see Niagara is undertaking some effort to raise NIL money but an interesting comment I saw is the reminder that a school or NIL collective has to raise the funds every year which would seem to be a daunting task. I'm sure there will be some schools that rise to the challenge that have significant alumni or local support but most will not I believe , personally I don't see a way forward for many current division 1 programs without the creation of a non or limited NIL subdivision within or even outside division 1 as it currently exists for basketball anyway, what ever happened to the idea of a college education being the main ingredient of a scholarship athletes desire to attend a school, probably has been that for many years I guess.

Whoever it is we need to make the job attractive.

That means money. Sorry, Buffalo, NY is not a selling point. Give the new coach the autonomy to make the necessary changes to the program. That means putting a NIL program in place & bring active with the portal.

I doubt we would look at Patrick or Grasso. We live in a world now which lacks forgiveness.

Jimmy Baron would be an interesting hire. He knows the game for sure and would be a great developer of talent.

I doubt that Adam Cohen will come back. He is waiting for the next big job.

He are a few names worth looking at.


Josh Merkel - Randolph Macon
Ben Howlett - West Liberty
Josh Loeffler - Cincinnati assistant
Matt Logie - Montana State

These are 3 we should take a closer look at.

Matt Capell, St Thomas Aquinas- From Buffalo area, protege of Tobin Anderson, has maintained STAC as a D2 power



Phil Martelli Jr, Bryant- From suburban Philly, Paid dues as an assistant for years despite famous coaching father, has Bryant playing well so far


Jordan Fee, Gannon- From Western PA, Mid 30's, In first year at Gannon they are 16-2 and ranked 12th in D2 while averaging 106 PPG. Last year Gannon went 3-23. He could be at the front door of Koessler in under 2 hours.

The school needs to get this right. Hire a search firm like DHL International.

Steal a page of what Marist, Siena & Quinnipiac did.
