fishbane Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (edited) 1) OSU 5 (David Taylor 1 Olympic/3 World, Thomas Gilman 1 World) 2) Iowa 4 (Tom Brands 1 Olympic/1 World, Terry Brands 2 World) 3) Morgan State 2 (Kenny Monday 1 Olympic/1 World) 4) PSU 1 (Cael Sanderson 1 Olympic) 4) ASU 1 (Larry Jones 1 World) 4) Ohio State 1 (Logan Stieber 1 World) It looks like OSU will have the most World level titles on staff just like before Smith retired. Am I missing any world/Olympic champion head or assistant coaches? Edited May 9 by fishbane Added Stieber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gantry Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Considering how much NWLC is killing it, I would think they'd want to keep him there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to think it's a possibility, though they have a pretty huge pool of qualified alumni to fill it. There are a handful of world level champions at RTCs.

Jake Varner NLWC Kendall Cross NYC RTC Brandon Slay Pennsylvania RTC Kevin Jackson CKWC Cael doesn't seem to love the idea of bringing in outsiders (aside from Jimmy Kennedy who was family to DT). Additionally, I'd argue that none of those candidates would be better than what they have in house. Penn RTC has largely been a disappointment.

fishbane Posted May 15 Author Share Posted May 15 Looks like I was wrong. Kevin Jackson is on the staff at Michigan not the CKWC staff. 1) OSU 5 (David Taylor 1 Olympic/3 World, Thomas Gilman 1 World) 2) Iowa 4 (Tom Brands 1 Olympic/1 World, Terry Brands 2 World) 3) Michigan (Kevin Jackson 1 Olympic/2 World) 4) Morgan State 2 (Kenny Monday 1 Olympic/1 World) 5) PSU 1 (Cael Sanderson 1 Olympic) 5) ASU 1 (Larry Jones 1 World) 5) Ohio State 1 (Logan Stieber 1 World) RTC Staff Jake Varner NLWC (1 Olympic) Kendall Cross NYC RTC (1 Olympic) Brandon Slay Pennsylvania RTC (1 Olympic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was an Olympic champion in 1976. I wonder how involved Beloglasov and Petkovic are at 67 and 70 years old respectively. It seems likely that CKWC leads the RTCs in world titles on the coaching staff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
