For all the attention he gives to defense, Wright State coach Scott Nagy probably has been causing opponents even more distress with his offenses.
He gives his players plenty of freedom in his motion system, trusting they can make something happen. His only real requirement is that they pound the ball inside.
“We do run sets and run plays, but it’s mostly to get shots at the basket. We’re not running them to get jump shots, I’ll tell you that,” Nagy said.
But after averaging 80.6, 82.0 and 75.8 points the last three years, the Raiders may have a new look on offense this season.
While Nagy still wants to feed the post — it leads to high-percentage shots, frequent put-backs and regular trips to the foul line — he’s also looking to capitalize more on 3′s.
The Raiders’ most established players are on the perimeter, and Nagy plans to give them more freedom to shoot from long range.
