Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Scott Nagy has been a college basketball head coach since 1995, but he has not faced the start of a season quite like this one.
Nor has he faced an end of a season like the last one.
His Wright State men’s basketball team was preparing for an NIT bid when that event was washed away in a sea of cancellations caused by the coronavirus.
Four months later, the pandemic is continuing, but the Raiders are back at the Mills-Morgan Center preparing for another season — if and when that might start.
“It’s been bizarre for sure,” Nagy said Thursday in an interview conducted outside the practice facility to promote social distancing. “I’ve had some people ask me if I have seen anything like this, and I haven’t. I don’t think anybody else can answer that honestly and say that they have, so it’s frustrating because we’d like to be more hands-on working with them and be around them because we know they’d do better when we’re with them, but we’re thankful the university is letting us come back and work out and be with them.
“I know the players are happy to be back. Even though it’s unusual and some of it is frustrating, it’s still better than not being with them.”\
