There, in a pre-taped intro, was Fordham’s president since 2003, Father Joseph McShane, who said, it is “my great honor and my pleasure to introduce our new football coach.”Ī few minutes later, before cutting back to host Andrew Bogusch, in one last Wayne-and-Garth-from-the-basement moment, McShane asked the camera, “Was that OK?” If you’d like a Cliffs Notes version of why Fordham basketball is where Fordham basketball has been the past few decades, it was right there Tuesday afternoon, as part of the meet-and-greet for new basketball coach Kyle Neptune on YouTube and Twitter.
