Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News

Scott Nagy has been officially hired by Southern Illinois, and Wright State has named top assistant Clint Sargent as its new basketball coach.

Sargent has been on the Raiders’ staff since Nagy arrived in 2016, serving as associate head coach the last three seasons.

He will meet with the media Friday at 2 p.m. at the Setzer Pavilion. He’s the 10th coach in program history.

“I am extremely thankful for this opportunity to lead a program that has meant so much to me and my family,” Sargent said in a statement released by the school.

“To our current and former players, parents, coaches, fans and administrators, I am honored to serve you and continue to build a championship level program. The work has already begun and I can’t wait for what lies ahead!”

Sargent played for Nagy at South Dakota State and scored more than 1,500 points.
