Ohio's Kenny Kaminski watches from the bench during the game against Akron at The Convo on Feb. 2. The Bobcats lost 80-68.
Akron coach Keith Dambrot sat on the away bench watching Ohio warmup. His arms crossed, his eyes glared as the Bobcats performed layup lines. There wasn’t an Akron assistant coach within a 15-foot radius.
Dambrot didn’t need to see anymore of the Bobcats. At least from the amount of film most coaches and teams watch before games, he shouldn’t have.
But that tenacity is what makes the 57-year-old Akron coach so thorough within the Mid-American Conference.
