Wright St playing Miami this year. Be cool to see UD/WSU/XU/Miami all play in a Gem
Gem City Holiday classic. I bet the tv rating would blow up and the arena would sell out for a round robin
Perhaps call it the Donoher /Underhill Gem City Classic and make a trophy to rotate? Posted via Mobile Device
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.
