I think Canton has won around 15 games over the past three seasons combined. 

One thing if they were still competitive, but they are routinely blown out.  Meanwhile the women's team is 8-1.

Women's team has an outstanding coach and they've developed a real culture of accountability and support. Word around the men's program is the coach is a buddy of his players. That doesn't work at any level.

I have not seen it posted anywhere else (including anywhere related to d3hoops.com), but rest in peace to the great Jerry Welsh.  The story of division 3 basketball cannot be told without mentioning Welsh's tenure at Potsdam, and that is an understatement. 

Everyone even tangentially connected to north country basketball has a story about Welsh. My father has one that I think sums up Welsh's legacy.  My dad attended a coaching conference downstate in the mid/late 1980s. Every big name coach in the country was there.  Dean Smith held a Q&A session one afternoon, and one of the first questions asked came from none other than Jerry Welsh.  According to my dad Dean Smith cut Welsh off before he could finish his question by saying "Jerry, why on earth are you asking me this?  I should be asking you this! 

A major, major loss for college basketball.
