What if anything resembles Don Donoher? Anything similar to AM? Or what coach in UD's recent past does his styles on D and O resemble. Is he flexible enough to incorporate a zone defense if the situation calls for it? Does he like to press? What about ball movement on offense? I personally would've preferred to keep the AM style going. I have had reservations about AG for a few reasons. But that's going to be dropped from the opinions I express from here on out. He's our coach and he's had great successes and also what looks to be some bad failures. This is a new situation for both he and UD so it might just be the best fit for both. Welcome home AG, I hope you've found your perfect coaching job and we've found our perfect coach.

Look at the style he used at VCU. I thought he started the Havoc concept there.
Can anyone clarify?

I doubt you will see walk the ball up the court style of basketball.

	Don Donoher DON DONOHER Legendary Flyer men's basketball coach who guided Dayton to 435 victories in 25 seasons (1964-1989) including the 1967 NCAA Runner-Up. Took over the program after the passing of Tom Blackburn and earned many NCAA and NIT bids over his career, including five Sweet-16s, one Elite Eight appearance, and the 1968 NIT Championship. Groomed All-Americans Don May and Jim Paxson, along with all-time leading scorer Roosevelt Chapman. Coached UD as they joined conference affiliation for the first time (Midwest Collegiate). A graduate of UD, Donoher played for Blackburn and credits much of his coaching success to his mentor's teachings: defense, ball protection, patience, and unselfishness.
