Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Wright State coach Scott Nagy doesn’t really want to hear about how proficient his team is on offense.
Tell him that they’re averaging 80.4 points per game — which is 22nd in the nation — and he’ll sigh and quickly change the subject.
“I never worry about offense,” he said. “I know we can score.”
The reason for his confidence is how the Raiders replenish their roster each year.
“Our goal is to recruit good offensive players and let them play freely. Good offensive players generally aren’t great defenders. We don’t just go get athletes that will be unbelievable defenders. We get guys who can score — and then we spend all our time on defense,” he said.
That’s why the Raiders have put up prolific offensive numbers in his seven years — they averaged 82 points in 2020-21 and 80.6 per game in 2019-20 — and why it’s a constant battle for him to mold them into a solid defensive unit.
