AgaveMaria Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 We know the records Cael Sanderson is making at Penn State. A few years as an Assistant, a couple at ISU to get his feet wet and then Penn State and the stratospheric levels the program has achieved. What are the top coaches in other Collegiate sports? What kind of records are they putting in the books? How do they compare to Cael & Co? ” Never attribute to inspiration that which can be adequately explained by delusion”.

PencilNeck Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 58 minutes ago, ionel said: How many gymnastics teams in D1? It's a very small number on the men's side, and women's coaching jobs are (I assume) more prestigious than men's (former Illinois head coach, Justin Spring left a couple of years ago to be a women's assistant at Alabama, for instance). However, men's college gymnastics is closer to the pinnacle of the sport than the women's mostly due to the ages at which athletes in those sports peak. An NCAA men's meet has more future and current national team members than a women's meet would. Also, the men's coaches have to know six events while the women only need to know four 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
