Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Wright State coach Scott Nagy spends most film sessions focusing on his players — showing them the good, the bad and the indifferent.
But before facing Cleveland State on Thursday, Nagy took a different tact in trying to pound home an important point.
He turned the cameras on himself.
“We’re always telling our players to get over this and get over that,” he said, meaning dealing with trials during a game. “We just showed them a clip of where we turned the ball over and showed them my response. It was awful.
“Here’s the head coach telling you to handle adversity better, and I’m over there with my head down. You just tell them, ‘I’m not immune to it, either.’”
The players didn’t appear ready for Nagy’s self-critique. They reacted at first with awkward silence.
