Louis Orr is looking forward to his seventh season as head coach of the Bowling Green State University men's basketball team.
Orr is concentrating on getting the Falcons ready, rather than the fact he is in the final year of his contract. In his first six years with the Falcons, Orr is 89-101 overall and 48-48 in the Mid-American Conference.
''It's my job to be a good steward of the opportunity that I have; that doesn't change,'' Orr said.
''Whatever coaching I do or changes I make will be for the betterment of the team .. I owe it to these guys, our guys.''
There were four seniors from the 2012-13 team, 13-19 overall and 7-9 in the Mid-American Conference, who will not return including leading scorers A'uston Calhoun (15.1 points per game) and Jordon Crawford (15 ppg).
Last season, Calhoun and Crawford combined to take 871 of BG's 1,795 shots from the field (48.5 percent).
Orr is not looking for one or two players to fill the scoring void, but is hoping to distribute the shot attempts and spread the wealth.

The two Falcon Medal of Honor winners at Bowling Green State University are planning to be pretty busy for the next few months.
Seniors Chris Jones, football, and Maddie Eccleston, tennis, received the top honor at the annual athletics honors night Monday in the Stroh Center. Approximately 400 people attended the event.
Jones is busy getting all his course work done while waiting for the National Football League draft, which begins on Thursday. The Mid-American Conference defensive player of the year, Jones could be drafted anywhere between the third and seventh rounds, or he could be an undrafted free agent.
''I still have got a lot of projects to do. I have to take exams this week, just in case that once the draft is over and I get picked up by a team, I will probably have to head out next week,'' Jones said. ''I have to get as much of the academic stuff done as I can right now.''

Bowling Green’s baseball team had plenty of reasons to be happy Saturday.
Most of all, the Falcons played well most of the day en route to a 14-6, 5-1 sweep of Akron in a Mid-American Conference doubleheader at Steller Field.
BG totaled 20 hits, received good pitching and was solid defensively overall to reward head coach Danny Schmitz with his 600th and 601st career wins.
The Falcons — who have won six straight overall and five consecutive MAC games — are 13-19 overall and 8-6 in the MAC East Division.
Akron is 8-29, 5-9.
“We played well in all three phases (pitching, hitting and defense),” said Schmitz, who is 601-569-5 overall and 312-298-1 in the Mid-American Conference during his tenure.
The only negative for BG was its four errors in Game 1 that led to Akron’s first three runs and 3-2 deficit in the third inning.
But BG quickly rallied with nine runs in the bottom of the third to put the game away.
“Those were good team victories,” Schmitz said.
