Originally posted by Wrestling Scholar: In defense of VS Vike Coach, he had a tough situation at IMAC. I think his efforts their prolonged the inevitable.
No Kids program, no Junior high wrestling and probably no assistant coaches at a private school that losing it's attendance and was in a basketball town.
I know from personal experince in the early 90s they were having trouble finding a coach and I was told they might have folded then if they didn't get a coach.
What a bunch of garbage.
I believe we can all agree success breeds success. Not all students at Immaculata or Leavenworth are basketball players. The recent success of the football program at Leavenworth High School, a one year turn around by a new coach, proves my point. Fact is the lack of producing a winning program at Immaculata directly impacted participation by students who were not basketball players. Last I knew, part of the job of the high school coach is to promote the program in school and recruit in school athletes to participate and grow the program.
Sadly, the former coach was unsuccessful in his endeavors and the program was dropped.
