Good Jersey Coach coming to Iowa

[obrats]

You are getting a good South Jersey guy out there to coach HS wrestling. He has a little crazy jersey in him but he is a proven coach.

Nice article. Thanks for posting. Wish him and his family well at Heelan.

Lot of neat little quotes in there, especially from the 10 year old Kansas State Champ...........“He had gotten to meet (Iowa coach) Tom Brands, (wrestling legend) Dan Gable, (NCAA champion) Tony Ramos when I was the coach at Baker. He watched video of Gable, become a little historian of the sport. He started asking me ‘Can we move to Iowa?’
(that is freaking awesome!)

“There’s a basketball story in the paper every day in Kansas,” said DiPol. “In Iowa, the stories are about wrestling.”

In a somewhat related note - another NAIA program is being added in Kansas: Kansas Wesleyan. The founding coach is Jimmy May, who started the Baker program.

I like that he's from Paulsboro, NJ, great wrestling community there!
