Men’s Head Basketball Coach Marcus Kahn
Men’s Head Basketball Coach and Senior Lecturer in Athletics Marcus Kahn was on the radio airwaves this week talking with ESPN Richmond 106.1 FM and D3hoops to discuss Eagles basketball. The pieces covered the team’s early struggles and resiliency in February which sparked their NCAA Tournament run, the youth of the Eagles, and how the veteran leadership of players Zack Blue and Cam McCravy prepared the team for a deep run into March.
Kahn was also quoted by D3hoops in an article titled “Eagles Still in Flight,” saying “As coaches we understand the process,” says Kahn. “We knew we had a young team and we were waiting for it to start clicking. The problem was the strength of schedule; every mistake we made, teams took advantage of it. We were getting exposed in all 25 games, but we were learning from it.” Read the article.

“It’s their experience,” Kahn said. “We’re such a young team overall that we’ve been learning a lot on the fly, and that led to our weaknesses getting exposed earlier in the season. But the young guys have been able to lean on Zack and Cameron because they’ve been here before and know what to expect, and that kind’ve helped us stay the course through the ups and downs.” Read the article.

“It’s awesome,” said UMW head coach Marcus Kahn. “To get into the tournament, and have the opportunity to keep playing with these guys… to survive and advance in this environment here is a testament to the schedule we played this year, and to have freshmen on the floor in key moments in this game, it’s just awesome.” https://www.d3hoops.com/seasons/men/2024-25/contrib/20250308h70pn9
