Gable / Sanderson Timeline

[jackwebster]

Gable began his tenure at Iowa coaching-up honegrown talent. Once his methods proved effective, he started attracting athletes from all over the country and eventually had his pick of the very best. There were even some I stances when athletes would willing give up scholarships and certain starting positions at other programs just to be on tbe Iowa ladder. Eventually though, Gable started dealing with off-the-mat issues. Some speculated that the off the mat issues were connected to the larger than life status of Iowa wrestlers. They were kings of campus and behaved as such. At least, this is the story as I understand it. 

This is a little pastry, but is Sanderson going through the same ordeal? Are the timelines similar? Or, are the stories about Gable's later teams bs?

Is this the guy who wrestled behind Martin or something. Maybe he went to train for a shot at the world team? I forget.
