It’s most interesting to watch the effect the head coach has on a college wrestling program.
While coaching plays an integral role in a program that continually marches forward, those coaches can’t do it without a support system in place, such as administrative backing, maximum allowable recruiting numbers and financial support.
Look at Tom Brands. A fiery wrestler and NCAA champ for Iowa, as well as an assistant coach there for 12 years, left for Virginia Tech in the 2004-05 season. The Hokies went 1-16 that year.
