Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Wright State coach Scott Nagy was an accomplished player in his day, ending his career as the all-time assist leader at Delta State.
And while he’d like to pass on to his players some of the traits that made him successful, he also wants to eradicate one of the things that held him back.
“There’s nothing that gets me more fired up and eats at me and makes me angrier than when I see guys play nervously. It bothers the heck out of me,” he said.
“It goes all the way back to when I played (in the mid-1980s). I just know, particularly when I was young, there were several games when I played nervous. I wish I hadn’t, but I did. I regret it, and I don’t want our guys to regret it.”
He saw far too many jitters in a 105-77 season-opening loss at Colorado State.
He also felt he had a few too many Nervous Nellies on the floor in an 89-80 defeat at Indiana.
