What a Year! 

With 17 wins overall and 11 conference wins last year, 

the Bulls posted their highest overall and conference win 

total since joining the Mid-American Conference in 1998. 

The Bulls went 12-18 overall and 7-11 in conference play 

during the 2001-02 season. The Bulls will have 12 

players, including all five starters returning for the upcoming 

season. 

Have Yassin Him? 

Freshman Yassin Idbihi joined Turner Battle as only 

the second Bull to be named to the MAC All-Freshman 

team in 2003-04. The 6-10 center averaged 10.3 points 

and a team-best 5.8 rebound per game in his freshman 

campaign. He scored a career-high 23 points in UB’s win 

over Northern Illinois in the first round of the MAC 

Tournament. 

Witherspoon Earns Coaching Honors 

After guiding the Bulls to 17 wins last season, head 

coach Reggie Witherspoon was rewarded by being 

named the MAC Coach of the Year as voted by the MAC 

News Media Association. The fifth-year mentor was also 

named the collegeinsider.com Mid-Major Coach of the 

Year and the Division I Co-Coach of the Year by the 

Basketball Coaches Association of New York. 

Battle Named to All-MAC Second Team 

Turner Battle was named to the All-MAC Second 

Team. It marks the third straight year that the junior point 

guard was recognized by the conference. Battle was 

named All-MAC Honorable Mention in 2002-03 and to the 

MAC All-Freshman team in 2001-02. 

Top Turnaround 

UB’s turnaround from two MAC wins in 2002-03 to 11 

conference wins last season ties for the second best 

improvement in conference history. Central Michigan 

holds the record at +12, going from two wins to 14 

victories in 2001. Also at +9 are Western Michigan in 

1992 and Ohio in 1999. 

Finishing Strong 

The Bulls shot 53.5 percent from the field and 45.7 

percent from beyond the arc over the final six games of 

the season last year. Buffalo averaged 10.5 threepointers 

per game over the last six games. The Bulls 

averaged 5.4 three-pointers per game over the first 23 

games. 

Bulls Have Second-Highest Turnaround in Nation 

With 12 more wins than the 2002-03 season, Buffalo 

tied for the second-best turnaround in Division I basketball 

last season. Texas - El Paso, with 16 more wins, 

was the only school with a bigger turnaround. High Point 

also improved by 12 wins last season. 

Three Bulls Earn Player of the Week Honors 

Buffalo was one of only three schools in the conference 

(Kent State, Western Michigan) to have three 

different players earned MAC Player of the Week honors 

last season. Calvin Cage won the award on Mar. 1, 

Turner Battle won the award on Feb. 2 and Mario 

Jordan won the award on Dec. 8. 

Super Mario 

Mario Jordan had a breakout season last year. 

During his sophomore campaign, the 6-6 forward 

averaged 10.2 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. A 

nice improvement from his freshman season when he 

averaged 3.5 points and 2.2 rebounds per contest. 

Uncaged 

Calvin Cage blossomed in the latter stages of the 

2003-04 season. Over the first 50 games of his career, 

Cage averaged 5.9 points per game and scored more 

than 15 points only once in his career - 24 points against 

Northwestern last season. The sophomore guard 

exploded onto the scene over the final six games of the 

season, averaging 16.3 points on 52.5 percent shooting 

and knocked down 19 three-pointers. 

Academic All-MAC 

Turner Battle and Mark Bortz were named to the 

2004 Academic All-MAC men's basketball team as voted 

on by the league's Faculty Athletic Representatives. It 

was the second straight season that Battle was named 

to the team, while Bortz earned the honor for the first 

time. Battle, a communication major who sported a 3.47 

grade point average, was also named to the 2003-04 

College Sports Information Director's of America 

(CoSIDA) Academic All-District I University Division 

Men's Basketball Team. Bortz, a management major, 

owns a 3.53 grade point average. 

Danny Hustle 

Not only did Daniel Gilbert improve offensively in 

2003-04 (8.8 ppg.), but he also emerged as one of the 

Bulls’ top defenders. The 6-6 swingman had 50 steals 

on the year - 12 more pilfers than his first two seasons 

combined. 

Road Warriors 

The Bulls won eight road games last season. The 

eight road wins in a single season were the most in the 

history of the Buffalo basketball program. Their previous 

high was seven wins accomplished during the 1994-95 

season. 

The House was Rockin’ 

Buffalo had 8,971 fans at Alumni Arena on Monday 

night to see the Bulls beat Northern Illinois in the first 

round of the MAC Tournament. It was the largest crowd 

in the history of the arena and the second largest crowd 

to ever witness an on-campus MAC playoff game.


Reggie Witherspoon enters his sixth season as head coach of the University at Buffalo men’s 

basketball program. 

A native Buffalonian, Witherspoon was officially named head men’s basketball coach at the 

University at Buffalo on March 10, 2000 after guiding the Bulls through the remainder of the 1999- 

2000 season as the interim head coach. He became the 11th head coach in Bulls’ basketball 

history and the third since Buffalo returned to Division I play in the 1991-92 season. 

Witherspoon was named the Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year and collegeinsider.com 

Mid-Major Coach of the Year following the 2003-04 season. He guided the Bulls to a 17-12 overall 

record and an 11-7 conference mark, their best effort since joining the MAC in 1998. Buffalo won 

12 of its final 15 games of the season, beating their opponents by an average of 14.2 points. The 

12-win improvement from the previous season was the second best turnaround in the nation in 

2003-04. He led UB to its first ever home playoff game in the opening round of the MAC Tournament 

and, after defeating Northern Illinois, led the Bulls to Cleveland for the quarterfinal round for the first time in school history. 

In 2002-03, Witherspoon guided a very young UB squad to a 5-23 mark. With freshmen and sophomores playing over 80 

percent of the minutes, the Bulls proved to be competitive in nearly every game as they lost 13 games by 10 points or less. 

In 2001-02, Witherspoon led the Bulls to a 12-18 mark. The Bulls’ eight-win improvement from the previous season was the 

sixth- highest among Division I teams. Witherspoon’s biggest win of the season occurred on January 9, 2002 when the Bulls 

knocked off Kent State, 66-65. It was the Golden Flashes’ only loss in the MAC and their last loss for before falling to Indiana in the 

Regional Finals of the NCAA Tournament. 

The 2000-01 season saw Witherspoon guide the Bulls to a 4-24 record and their second MAC Tournament appearance. However, 

the record was not reflective on the strides the program made as they dropped 12 regular season games by 10 points or less, 

the second most in the country to American University’s 13. Included in that list were seven of Buffalo’s first nine games and four 

overtime games. 

During his period as interim coach, which began five games into the 1999-00 season, Witherspoon, 40, tripled the team’s win 

output in the highly-competitive Mid-American Conference from the previous season. Buffalo also saw its first three-game home 

court winning streak since the 1997-98 season. 

Witherspoon has 19 years of collegiate and high school coaching experience in Western New York and has enjoyed considerable 

success during his coaching career. In his two-plus seasons at Erie Community College, he produced a 44-23 record and, in 

1998-99, earned Region III Division I Coach of the Year honors 

after leading the Kats to a 24-5 record and a Region III title. 

In his first season at ECC, Witherspoon led the program to a 

19-10 record and was named Western New York Athletic Conference 

Coach of the Year, an honor he repeated in the 1998-99 

season as well. During his tenure at ECC, Witherspoon produced 

four Division I players, two All-Americans and one Academic All- 

American. 

Prior to his stint at Erie CC, Witherspoon spent 13 years at 

Sweet Home High School, eight as an assistant and five as head 

coach. During his five years as head coach, his teams won four 

straight divisional championships, the first and only time that happened 

in school history. 

Off the court, Witherspoon has been extremely involved in 

community work. He served as Director of Amateur Athletic Events 

for the Big 4 from 1996-98 and founded, along with Jim Kwitchoff 

and Joe Corey, a youth development program called Buffalo Team 

ACE (Athletes Committed to Excellence) in 1991. 

Witherspoon is a member of the National Association of Basketball 

Coaches and the Basketball Coaches Association of New 

York. He is active in Western New York Athletics in many roles, 

including being a member of the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of 

Fame Board of Directors. 

Witherspoon earned his associate’s degree from Erie Community 

College and bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies 

from Empire State College. While at Erie Community College, he 

played for West Virginia head coach John Beilien. He played for 

Boston Celtic head coach Jim O’Brien at Wheeling Jesuit College. 

Witherspoon resides in East Amherst, NY, with his wife, the 

former Dawn Taggart, and the couples’ two daughters, Lydia (11) 

and Rachel (10).

post players while he also handles administrative duties and serves as the summer camp director. 

Kwitchoff was as assistant coach at Erie Community College in Buffalo, NY, and helped build the Kats’ 

program with Witherspoon. ECC finished the 1998-99 season as the Division I, Region III Champions with a 

24-5 record, reaching a national ranking of 17th in the country. That team also finished second nationally in 

team defense. In the 1997-98 season, the Kats finished as the Region III runner up with a 19-10 record. 

Prior to coaching at ECC, Kwitchoff was an assistant for Witherspoon at Sweet Home High School from

Kwitchoff resides in Wheatfield, NY with his wife Tricia and their daughter Madison (3). 

MICHAEL MENNENGA 

ASSISTANT COACH • FIFTH YEAR • MOREHEAD STATE, 1993 

Michael Mennenga was Coach Witherspoon’s first new hire after his announcement as full time head 

coach. That move has paid dividends in the Bulls’ recruiting efforts. His focus at UB is recruiting, game 

preparation, working with post/perimeter players, and academic coordination. 

Mennenga, a native of Rantoul, IL, spent four seasons with the University of Maine before coming to the 

University at Buffalo. While at Maine, he helped the Black Bears set school records in wins, attendance, 

and All-Conference players. In his final season, 1999-2000, the Black Bears compiled a 24-7 record. 

Along with his coaching duties at the University at Buffalo, Mennenga has served with the Nigeria 

Basketball Federation and USA Basketball. In the summer of 1999, he served as an assistant coach for 

the Nigeria Junior National Team at the World Championships held in Portugal, spending one month in Lagos, Nigeria and 

Portugal. 

In the summer of 2001, he served as a workout coach and member of the Selection Committee for USA Basketball. This 

team consisted of the Top 12 Junior College Players in the country. The team traveled to the Tournament of the Americas in 

Argentina. His duties included practice preparation, implementation of team system and player selection. 

Prior to his hiring at Maine, Mennenga devised and developed the Nike SuperSoph basketball camp, featuring the Top 50 

Sophomores in the Midwest. At that time, he also served as a member of the Nike All-American Camp Staff. 

Mennenga began his coaching career at Rantoul High School in 1993 and joined Parkland 

Community College for one season. He graduated from Morehead State University cum laude in 1993 with a degree in Finance 

and was a member of the men’s basketball program. 

Mennenga resides in Buffalo, NY, with his wife Shanneta and baby daughter Cheyanne 

CHRIS HAWKINS 

ASSISTANT COACH • FIFTH YEAR • RADFORD, 1992 

Chris Hawkins enters his fifth season as an assistant coach with the Bulls. Hawkins was the final piece to 

the puzzle for the UB coaching staff and has been instrumental in the recruiting efforts. Hawkins also contributes 

to the scouting of opponents and coaching the perimeter players. 

Hawkins came to UB from Radford University, where he served as an assistant coach for three seasons. 

While with the Highlanders, Hawkins helped lead the team to a 58-28 record over three seasons, including 

the 1997-98 Big South Championship and a trip to the NCAA Tournament. In 1999-2000, Radford was the 

Big South Conference regular season champions. 

As a player for the Highlanders, Hawkins was named the Most Valuable Player of the 1991-92 team that

record. He still ranks fourth in the school's records for career assists. 

Prior to his coaching stint at Radford, Hawkins coached for three seasons at Bladensburg High School in Bladensburg, MD. His first 

year was as an assistant coach, followed by two seasons as the head coach. During his tenure as head coach, he guided the team to
