The biggest coaching related news of the last couple of weeks came on Monday when Binghamton announced that Ryan LeBlanc will be the Bearcats next head coach. We wrote a bit about LeBlanc’s background here.
With LeBlanc’s hire, it opens up the head coaching position at The Citadel very late in the game - so we have another head coaching vacancy. Related to the Bulldogs, InterMat was recently told that they were looking to hire an assistant coach, as well. This will be a new position. One might assume that this would get pushed to the backburner until the head coaching job is filled.
In other coaching news, Teyon Ware rounded out his first coaching staff at the University of Northern Colorado by hiring Charles Jones Jr. Jones Jr. wrestled collegiately at Oklahoma and Fresno State and served in the United States Army from 2010 to 2022. He comes to Greeley after leading the girls high school program at Edmond North in Oklahoma.
Troy Nickerson also completed his first coaching staff at Army West Point with the hiring of Alan Clothier. The two are very familiar with each other as Clothier qualified for the NCAA Tournament three times under Nickerson at Northern Colorado. Since then, Clothier has coached collegiately at Buffalo and Davidson.
Finally, Gardner-Webb also added to their coaching staff with the hiring of Vincent Scollo as a graduate assistant. Scollo was a 2023 NCAA sixth place finisher for DII West Liberty. He comes to Gardner-Webb after holding the same position at his alma mater.
