Welcome Home, Steven Wright

Former BG PG Steven Wright has returned home as an assistant coach at BG, replacing Kevin Summey who moved on to NC State.

Wright played for Coach Dakich at BG from 2002-2006.  He made 64 starts. Wright, who led BGSU in assists in 2003-04, averaged 9.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.5 steals as a Falcon. He led the Falcons in steals during the 2003-04 and 2004-05 seasons.

He left the program in February of 2006 and finished at Northern Kentucky as a DII All-American.  I do remember some tumult around him...at one point I think he was suspended and then came back.  I can't find anything about it.

But, we were all young once.  I've seen him interact positively with Coach Dakich on Twitter, so there can't be too many bad feelings.  He certainly has paid his dues.  Here is how it looks between now and BG, his first D1 assistant coaching job.  (He was video coordinator at Cleveland State).
