There are many reasons.
Lack of tradition.
Hard to recruit black athletes to Macomb. Some schools with a tradition of winning and in the middle of nowhere can recruit the black athletes. But Western doesn't have that winning tradition and an inner city black kid isn't going to find Macomb an attractive option.
Bad hires. Some head coaches were terrible. Some of the assistant coaches belong in youth leagues.
I think getting a new arena would be a huge boost but it will be very hard to get that funded.
I've heard that Western pays coaches among the lowest salaries in the Mid-Con. If that's true then they need to find the money to pay the coaches better.
