Donoher took us to an E8 and a Final- but plenty hated him…but that was ok huh? AG’s 19-20 team likely is a legit Final 4 team if not National Champion. As good as AM’s E8 team, nobody expected them to contend for Championship- was a cinderella run. Time will tell- but unless AG walks away from coaching- he’ll be here for quite a while so if you don't like him, don’t know what to say.

	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.
