Over the next 10 days WVOF will preview the coaching candidates who could possibly be the next hed coach of the Fairfield Stags. Today is Dave Leitao.
Experience: Head Coach at DePaul,Northeastern and Virginia.
Assistant Coach at UCONN during their national championship run
Awards: 2006-07 ACC Coach of the Year
2007 NABC District 5 Coach of the Year
Positives: He has experience. His first year at Virginia he only had 7 scholarship players but was able to defeat UNC and surprised everybody as they finished in seventh. He also has won a share of the ACC Regular Season title which shows that he has the ability to defeat the top teams.
Negatives: His intense coaching style. By all accounts that is what he is known for but according to the Bleacher Report this intense style could be scaring away recruits. This would be intresting for the existing players because while Cooley was intense, he was also fair.
