BOWLING GREEN — Todd Simon wants the Bowling Green State University men’s basketball team to be filled with energy every time the Falcons compete.
And that doesn’t just include the five players at a time on the court.
“We’re going to be relentlessly enthusiastic. Our bench culture, we get a bench warning every game, and if we don’t, I’m disappointed,” Simon said during Thursday’s news conference introducing the former Southern Utah mentor as the Falcons’ new coach. “No one ever makes a 3 in front of our bench, that’s our key rule.”
The passion, energy, and high-scoring style of play that helped turn a Southern Utah program that struggled mightily in the mid-2010s into a consistent 20-win team will be heading to northwest Ohio.
