Basketball in the great white north

So here I am a basketball guy in Canada.
Our national basketball program is a complete joke up here now. After a respectable showing in the 2000 Olympics, which I think was the Steve Nash breakthrough, our teams have shown very poorly since.

What do I think needs to be done?

I think Basketball Canada should choose a new leader to get our program on the right track. Under the recent leadership we have gotten nowhere and I think regressed. Meanwhile USA Basketball brought in Jerry Colangelo and under his leadership have returned their program to best in the world with what looks like a bright future.

Is there someone available? I don't know who they can get, but we need someone with a plan and the means to make it happen.
