Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Wright State coach Scott Nagy has pondered all kinds of scenarios to get his team playing up to expectations this year — starting with what he could be doing differently.
It’s not like the season has gone off the rails. The Raiders are 3-5 against a top-100 schedule nationally and have had only two home games.
But he went into practice this week planning to ramp up the intensity and give his players a hard word when necessary.
“Sometimes people need to recognize, ‘I need to change, and some of this is my fault,’” he said. “It all depends on how seriously the kids take it — because you know the coaches take it seriously.
“I just want to coach people who want to win and feel the same way about losing as I do. I want to coach guys who are in that same mind frame competitively.”
He believes he’s talked enough to his players about their defensive shortcomings — and it doesn’t seem to be getting through.
