Scott Nagy (born June 7, 1966) is an American college basketball coach and the current Wright State Raiders men's basketball head coach. He had served as head coach at South Dakota State since 1995 (21 seasons). On April 4, 2016, it was announced that Nagy will coach for Wright State in Fairborn, Ohio (near Dayton).
Born in Abilene, Texas,[1] Nagy attended St. Matthews grade school in Champaign, Illinois and Champaign Centennial high school, which he graduated from in 1984. His father is Dick Nagy, who was a University of Illinois assistant basketball coach under Lou Henson.
Nagy played basketball collegiately at Delta State University, where he currently holds school records for most career games played and most assists in a career (549), season (234) and game (15).[1]
After graduation, Nagy became a graduate assistant at the University of Illinois for two seasons before taking a full-time assistant's job at South Dakota State, which he held for three years. After two seasons as an assistant at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Nagy returned to South Dakota State to take over as head coach in May 1995.
Nagy led the Jackrabbits to 20-win seasons during eight of his first nine years at the helm of the program at the Division II level. After the 2004 season, South Dakota State began the transition to Division I.[1]
The 2007–08 season was Nagy's first as a head coach in a Division I conference, as the Jackrabbits joined The Summit League on June 1, 2007.
In 2011–12, South Dakota State won the Summit League Tournament championship, qualifying them for their first ever berth in the NCAA Tournament.
