SIGH, yeah, another coach candidate post

[Jayhoosier83]

I know we're all getting worn out with these coaching candidate discussions, but here's another one. Scott Nagy from Wright St. He has a 240-111 record over the last 10 years (5 at South Dakota St, 5 at Wright St, 24-11 average over that time) and his teams have finished the regular season either 1st or 2nd in the conference in 9 of the last 10 years. He hasn't had a losing record (conference or overall) since the 2009-10 season, and has had his teams in the postseason in 7 (would be 8 if not for COVID) of those 10 years. He's a little older (54 years old) and was an assistant at Illinois under Lou Henson from 1988-90. I'm sure some people would say one knock against him is that he's never made a deep run in the NCAA tournament.

while we’re at it, Brian Wardel from Bradley. He won back to back MVC tourneys in 2019, 2020

Got to go proven Power 5 coach on this one IMO. The next coach needs to be able to justify a 5+mil a year contract. No more guesses.

No more experiments.
No NBA Coaches with no NCAA coaching experience.

Seems like our experiments have been to hire college coaches who made runs in the NCAAT so will do that here. Has worked wonders.

Woody, come on down.
