| St. Francis (NY)'s Clive Bentick | |
 |
Brooklyn Heights, NY -- St. Francis College (NY) head men’s basketball coach Brian Nash announced the addition of Clive Bentick to the assistant coaching staff. Bentick comes to St. Francis after one season on the sidelines at Le Moyne and two seasons at Canisius.
"I am very pleased with the addition of Clive to our staff," Nash said. "Not only was he a very successful player at Canisius, but he has also worked hard as an assistant coach at the Division I, II, and III levels. That kind of experience is hard to find and I know he will help us toward reaching our goal of winning the Northeast Conference."
Bentick earned four letters on the Golden Griffin basketball team from 1997-2001. The New York City native finished 15th in the MAAC in scoring (13.6/gm) and fifth in assists (4.03/gm) as a senior. That year, he was named a MAAC Third Team All Conference Selection, and was named to the MAAC All-Tournament Team after leading the Griffs into the MAAC Championship contest, a run that included a 26-point effort and the game-winning bucket in a semifinal victory over Niagara.
Bentick ranks 39th on the Canisius all-time scoring list with 840 points and sixth in assists with 354. He recently received honorable mention honors on the Canisius College Post-1970s All-Century Team. In addition, he was a finalist for the 1998 NCAA Sports Person of the Year Award.
He earned his bachelor’s degree in Business Management and Marketing from Canisius in 2001 and graduated from Canisius with a Master’s Degree in Sports Administration in 2006. Bentick spent one season at D’Youville as an assistant coach under Brian Miller. He also served as an assistant coach at Catholic Central Junior High and worked the Eastern Invitational Basketball camp in 2004.
