Canisius University Athletics

Clive Bentick enters his second season on the Golden Griffin coaching staff. He is responsible for recruiting, on-floor coaching and scouting.

Bentick is no stranger to Canisius as he earned four letters on the Golden Griffin basketball team from 1997-2001. The New York City native really blossomed as a senior, when he finished 15th in the MAAC in scoring (13.6/gm) and fifth in assists (4.03/gm). He was named third-team All-MAAC and earned all-tournament honors after leading the Griffs into the championship contest, a run that included a 26-point effort and the game-winning bucket in a semifinal victory over Niagara. Bentick ranks 38th 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. He earned his bachelor's degree in business management and marketing from Canisius in 2001 and 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.

Bentick resides in Buffalo and is working towards his master's degree in sport administration at Canisius.
