Although it may mean more work for him, Wright State athletic director Bob Grant is glad his program is in the position it’s in — where bigger schools swoop in and snag his successful coaches.
But it’s still bittersweet for him when the good ones go.
“It’s something that happens with regularity with us, and that’s probably not a bad thing,” he said. “Our student-athletes have done such great things, led by great coaches. You’ve seen it in baseball multiple times now.
“I’ve always said you can have two kinds of coaches: the kind nobody wants and the kind other people covet. If we’re doing our job, we’ve got the latter.”
Women’s basketball coach Katrina Merriweather is the latest to move on to the next challenge, officially accepting the Memphis job Monday.
She led the Raiders to their first NCAA tourney win last week in their third appearance, racking up 113-47 record in five years while being named Horizon League Coach of the Year three times.
