BUFFALO, N.Y. — After mutually parting ways with former head coach Reggie Witherspoon in early March, Canisius University immediately launched a search for its next men's basketball head coach.
On Monday afternoon, Canisius Vice President and Director of Athletics and Recreation Bill Maher announced that Jim Christian has been named the 25th head coach in Canisius men's basketball history.
Christian is coming to Buffalo with nearly two decades of NCAA Division I head coaching experience and has most recently spent the last two years at Kent State University.
Before his most recent time spent at Kent State, Christian also served as the head coach at Boston College, Ohio University, and TCU.
Canisius University is set to introduce the Griffs' new head coach in an introductory press conference on Thursday, April 11.
