LANGSTON UNIVERSITY'S COACH CALLS OUT DIVISION I TEAMS: A TEST OF TALENT ACROSS COLLEGIATE LEVELS
|
Posted By: Catalina Deossa on April 23, 2024 Langston University basketball coach Chris Wright is not one to back down from a challenge. He has issued a bold invitation to Division I programs to play against his NAIA team on the court, with no money involved. Wright's confidence comes from his impressive track record, having led both Talladega College and Langston University to national championships. Despite initial doubts and a rebuilding phase at LU, his teams have thrived under his leadership, boasting an outstanding record of 98-11 over the past three seasons. His tweet calling out Division I schools for using the NAIA label as a recruiting tactic highlights his determination to showcase the talent and competitiveness of his players. By offering to play without payment, Wright challenges the typical money game arrangement and challenges perceptions of NAIA basketball. Now, it's up to Division I programs to accept the challenge and schedule a game against Wright's formidable NAIA team. Only time will tell if any will rise to the occasion, but one thing's for sure - Wright's bold proclamation has set the stage for an exciting showdown between divisions.
