Just saw this and have been skimming through it. I think it takes many people to make great wrestlers and great people. This includes coaches, parents and teachers.
Kevin does not need to be defended here but let me say that he got people to look at the possibilities of being a great wrestler. To do that you have to go where you find the best competition. He always wanted his boys to find the best and to compete.
He did train kids from the kindergarden level to the olympic level. He was mat side for their matches. Many names you mentioned had their first experience in wrestling at East Kansas.
Finally, lets give credit to all our coaches that have given their time and talent to help kids become men and perform in a sport that they love, whether they become olympic champions or novice champions
