  • Akron's Keith Dambrot, Cleveland State's Gary Waters Are Major Midmajor Successes: Terry Pluto
    http://blog.cleveland.com/plutoblog_impact/print.html?entry=/201... Akron's Keith Dambrot, Cleveland State's Gary Waters are major midmajor successes: Terry Pluto By Terry Pluto, The Plain Dealer on December 20, 2012 at 5:54 PM, updated December 20, 2012 at 11:43 PM Print View/Post Comments In 1989, Keith Dambrot walked out of Ben Braun's office, and Gary Waters walked in. Braun was the head coach at Eastern Michigan. Dambrot had been an assistant under Braun for three years. Dambrot was 30 years old in 1989 and dreaming of being a head coach. So he left for Division II Ashland. To replace Dambrot, Braun turned to a 39-year-old Waters, who had spent the previous 15 years as an assistant at the Division II level. If you look at their basketball backgrounds, there would be no clue Waters would have 300 career victories. Or that Dambrot would own 297. Or that at age 61, Waters would have just signed a seven-year contract to keep coaching at Cleveland State. Or that at age 54, Dambrot would have a 10-year deal to remain coaching at Akron. "It's pretty amazing -- for both of us," Dambrot said. "I was a baseball player in college. I had a problem and was out of college coaching (for 11 years) in the middle of my career. Gary came from little Ferris State. "It's not like we had big-name coaches in our corner who gave us jobs. We had to work our way up." Waters and Dambrot were both in a reflective mood as their teams prepared to play Sunday at 2 p.m.
