“Stick to my gut out there as a coach,” Donlon said.
At several points, he said, he didn’t make the call that was his instinct to make, and he felt it cost the Raiders a road victory. Wright State is improving at 9-6 and heading into road games this week against Illinois-Chicago and Loyola, and Donlon seems to be improving, as well.
With some momentum following the two home league wins, including a buzzer-beater by Vaughn Duggins to top Green Bay 67-64 on Saturday, Donlon hopes he continues learning as the league schedule progresses.
“I’m a pretty straight-shooting person,” Donlon said. “Sometimes you hurt your team as a coach, and there’s improvement by everybody during the course of a season. That means both players and coaches.”
