Looks like a great staff. Congratulations and good luck on starting a new program. Glad to see wrestling growing in ky.

wow 11 coaches looks like you will need a mat just for the coachers.

Well most of the coaches will only be there 2 or 3 times a week due to work and school commitments, only a few of us will be there every day.
Cov Cath has more coaches than some teams have wrestlers.
I think you all are forgetting that four of the mentioned coaches are middle school and youth. With that said they have a very fine staff. Looks like kids will get a lot of individual attention by a group of state champs which is never a bad thing. They have a lot of ground to make up and plan on doing that quickly and being a force in NKY in the next few seasons.
I don't think anyone with a knowledge of cov cath expected them to do this anything short of first class. They decided to have a team and give the team all of the resources needed to be successful.
