DDN: Raiders put together ‘good’ non-league schedule, but it wasn’t easy

Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News

When Wright State’s Scott Nagy first started as a coach, his offseasons were considered a time to replenish and unplug from the demands of running a program.

Not anymore.

Ramped-up pressure in recruiting and the arrival of organized summer workouts have kept Nagy and his peers on the clock more than ever.

But the 2018, ‘19 and ‘20 Horizon League coach of the year has adapted and still loves his job — most of it, anyway.

If he could wave a magic wand and do away with one part of his workload, he’d be throwing an abracadabra at schedule-making.

The Raiders have 11 non-conference games this season, and only three of them are at home against Division-I foes. There are two more games at the Nutter Center against lower-division teams.
