Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Clint Sargent doesn’t buy into many of the coaching adages that have been passed down through the years.
Like the ubiquitous mention of focusing only on one game at a time.
The first-year Wright State coach said while it may sound good in theory, it’s not practical to try to cut up a season into 31 separate parts.
“I think all these games flow together,” he said, meaning good seasons are built on learning from wins and losses and stacking one lesson on top of another.
He also doesn’t want to embrace what many see as a fairly reliable formula for capturing a conference title — winning your home games and splitting on the road.
In the Horizon League, that’s going 5-5 away from home. And Sargent’s expectations are way higher than that.
