Scott Nagy to be named WSU coach on Monday

[SportsFan]

Seems like a great hire. I can't wait to find some old games to see what style his teams play.

I like the fact that he stayed so long in South Dakota. Totally speculation but would stand to reason if he's happy here he won't be looking to jump ship at the first sign of continued success. Brownell was incredible here but the yearly coaching carousel watch was exhausting.

Scott Nagy has agreed to become the head men's basketball coach at Wright State University, WSU director of athletics Bob Grant announced Monday. Formerly of South Dakota State, he becomes the ninth head coach in the history of the Raiders men’s basketball program.

He will be formally introduced to the Wright State fans and media on Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. in the main arena of the Wright State Nutter Center.

Welcome Scott Nagy to the raider land. We are all excited to have you here and looking forward for a successful raider basketball years ahead.

Thank you Coach Donlon for getting us where we are and I wish you all the best for your future.

One guy who is happy today, is Greg Kampe. Nagy is 3-11 against Oakland. Donlon was 5-4.

I am looking forward to this change. I hope everyone realizes this may well work out best for everyone. I wish BD well with his new opportunities. I am encouraged by this hire and the possibilities of overall improvement and emphasis on the three basic parts of basketball. We have some good offensive players who need someone to develope them with appropriate offensive schemes to use and develop them further. Maybe he can bring us some help inside.

I am really liking the hire. Was the first name I threw out there couple weeks back after watching Nagy's team.
I would love if he brought a couple players with him! Most impressive to me were their freshman big man 6-9 Mike Daum and 6-6 sophomore Reed Tellingthusien.

Love the hire! Kudos to Bob Grant for pulling this off. I like that two of Nagy's assistants appear to be following him to Wright State. Hope the folks that are able to make it to tomorrow's introduction will share what coach Nagy had to say.

For all of those who can't make coach Nagy's press conference/announcement this morning ESPN3 will be carrying it live.

[wsutommygun]

Not sure how it works but, Wright State Athletics Facebook also has it. Anyway, if you can't see it live on ESPN3 or Facebook, then maybe you can access it later ( at your convenience )...perhaps wsuraiders.com can help.

I want to see video of the actual press conference with press Q&A. Anyone know if that's posted, links, etc??

[wsutommygun]

Raidergrad98, I wouldn't say there was an actual press conference like you might be thinking of. After the intros the press met on more of one-on-one but, several cameras for the various stations and some media.

Link is below. It was not a press conference, it seems more like and introducing the coach. Coach Nagy gave a lot of thanks. About 8 minutes or so.

You knew what I was looking for! I was hoping for a traditional q&a session. Thanks though, I'll keep an eye out for the news tonight (saw the Hartsock thing already) and the paper tomorrow.
