Per the Saluki Insider web page: "Wright State's Scott Nagy is expected to fill the Salukis' HC vacancy."

Honestly shocked another program would want to hire Nagy at this point. The team has struggled most years under him without Loudon Love. This will sting for the short term but I think will be good for the program long term. I don’t think Nagy adjusted well enough to the portal era. Get ready for a team of transfers in next year.

Wow, quite an offseason for the Raiders. I'd imagine the timing isn't a coincidence with the AD and coach both leaving.

I thought Nagy was going to be the next Kampe and was looking forward to our tournament win in 2040.

Good riddance. Timing sucks but excited to see what happens.

So who do we think is our next coach? Just hire someone already on staff?

This will sting for the short term but I think will be good for the program long term. I don’t think Nagy adjusted well enough to the portal era. Get ready for a team of transfers in next year. The perception of Scott Nagy's program is a lot more pessimistic inside the fan base than it is outside of it. We all think WSU is dangerous every single year. I think it's one of the best two jobs in the conference and I think most would agree. He's literally 167-91 at Wright State. Jim Larranaga won very little at Bowling Green in 11 seasons, had three NIT one-and-dones and then left for George Mason, where he won a couple titles and went to a couple NCAA Tournaments in his first eight seasons but didn't win a game. Then in 2006 he took them to the Final Four. In 18 years at Davidson, Bob McKillop had taken them to a few NCAA Tournaments and then in 2008 they went to the Elite Eight. Yeah, yeah, Steph Curry, yeah but McKillop recruited him. And these without mentioning that it took 40 years for Greg Kampe to break through and win that first NCAA Tournament game. Oakland didn't even go dancing in the HL until this season. What is that, 10-11 years? I think the expectations at our mid-major level are often blown out of proportion because we measure coaches by their NCAA Tournament appearances and conference titles, and if they don't get there they're seen as failures. You've got three regular season titles and two NCAA tournaments/HLT titles in eight years. I think that's an excellent rate of return. You finished two games back of the conference champion this season. Think of all the close calls over the year. You know how hard it is to beat a team three times in one season? Well, WSU almost did that against NKU. The margins at our level are razor-thin. I wouldn't judge Nagy too harshly. |

Good perspective Black PantherU. I don't feel the same sentiment as many on this board do concerning Coach Nagy. I would rather he stay, but it appears that he won't. We'll see how much turmoil comes from this.

If Nagy leaves, I feel like this could turn into a disaster for the program. Given the uncertainty in the AD position, I could see WSU being very slow to hire a new coach. More players may transfer out and signed recruits might go elsewhere and by the time a coach is hired, he struggles just to put a team together.

Nagy's HL record is 107-47, for a.695 winning %. That's going to be a challenge to duplicate for a new incoming coach.

I would not plan on seeing any of the incoming freshman given the coaching change. Also would imagine Brandon is gone too. If its an internal promotion which I would think given there is no new AD in place, it almost has to be (Clint Sargent) that could give us a shot at keeping more guys. |
