Must make do without three key departed components, Chase Kingsbury (PCS) and Sean Copia and Nick White (graduation), along with the coaching staff. Into the fray steps Nugent, the school’s principal taking on an “other duties as assigned” role, hoping to build on the foundation left by departed coaches James Tolliver and Dwayne White.

He's the third coach in three seasons, but brings a championship background from DODDS Europe, two D-I titles at Heidelberg and two lower-division titles at Giessen in Germany.

Life as a small school very much agreed with the Panthers, who captured the D-II title in their first year at that level. Must make do without graduated key guard tandem Jermaine Neal and Jadan Anderson, the latter now playing at Azusa Pacific.

E.J. King Cobras 2014-15 season record — 12-12 overall; seventh at Far East D-II.Head coach — Scott Jarrard, third season.Key performers — Rikki Kendall, Sr., G; Gemar Caasi, Jr., PG; Devin Robinson, Jr.; Dyson Robinson, Fr.; Chad Hinmon, Jr.; Chris Hinmon, Fr.Outlook — Reloading. Lacking in height, but more athletic and mobile in the open court. Must move on without four-year starters Josh and Jacob Lyle, but two new pairs of brothers move in; athletic and committed, Jarrard calls them.

Losing Jarell Davis and Jon Cadavos to graduation won’t be easy to overcome, but plenty of other pieces remain for the Samurai to take care of the unfinished business they’ve left behind in the D-II final on their home court the last two seasons.

Zama Trojans 2014-15 season record — 7-18 overall; did not participate in Far East.Head coach — Edgard Oakley, first season.Key performers — Josh Nay, Sr., PF-C; Shinya Hamada, Sr., PG; Hikari Nakamura, Sr., PG-SG; Joshua Atkinson, Sr., SF; Anthony Ames, Sr., PG-SG; Cameron Waters-Daniels, Jr., SF; Caleb Carter, Sr., C-PF; Corey Perry, Sr., C; Josh Bayardo, So., SG-SF.Outlook — Rebuilding.
