| Title: | Head Coach |
2020-21 will see Cassidy Kannemeyer enter his sixth season as the head coach of the Capilano University Blues men's basketball program. During his time at CapU, his team's best finish is a silver medal in the 2016-17 PACWEST playoffs.
The 2019-20 campaign was an injury-plagued one for the Blues with as many as four key players sidelined simultaneously. The result was a sixth-place finish in the standings and the Blues headed into the 2020 PACWEST playoffs as tournament hosts. The Blues played a thrilling contest against Okanagan College in front of a packed crowd at the Centre for Sport & Wellness but came up just a bucket short of advancing.
In 2018-19, the Blues defeated Okanagan College in the quarterfinals before a narrow loss to Douglas College in the semifinals.
A long-time coach with Basketball BC, Kannemeyer was named head coach of the U15 Boys Provincial Team in December of 2017. He also works as a Special Education Teacher for the Vancouver School Board, and is very involved in the East Vancouver basketball community.
