Scott Nagy will be going into the season opener against visiting Davidson on Nov. 9 with more depth than he’s had in any of his previous six years as Wright State’s coach.
“We’ve always ended up playing seven guys (five starters and two subs each game). That’s always where we’ve been since I’ve been here. But I think we have eight or nine this year,” he said.
“I’m trying to play the best players and keep them on the floor as much as I can. But if we get in foul trouble, we have different combinations — we can play big, we can play small. I’m pretty confident going nine deep, and I’ve not been that way before.”
While he didn’t want to name the players in his rotation — that’s always a fluid situation — he did identify Trey Calvin, Amari Davis and Tim Finke as players who’ll seldom leave the floor.
“It might be hard for me to get everyone playing time because (those three) will be playing a lot of minutes,” he said.
Test run: Under NCAA rules, Division-I teams can have two closed preseason scrimmages, and the Raiders faced Ball State on the road Oct. 22 and Kent State at home last Saturday.
