For new basketball head coaches Johnny Dawkins and Katie Abrahamson-Henderson, a change in culture has been their main prerogative during the offseason since being hired by athletics director Danny White last year.
"Well it's almost here — the new era," Abrahamson-Henderson said during media day for the Knights' men's and women's basketball teams. "We're really excited and we've been working really hard. Really enjoyable journey so far and I'm really excited for the team."
Abrahamson-Henderson said the difficulty in changing a culture is teaching a brand new group a brand new concept.
"It's really hard to change a culture and it was the same thing at Albany when I was at Albany," she said.
