Never have I ever. Drink.
I'm tired so I only ran a 50+ 395 meters. 1st leg is the shortest but I have never heard such a poor excuse that a D 1 athlete is tired. I wouldn't expect that from anyone on a relay.

It is also very hard to compare coaching different disciplines. A sprint coach and a distance coach and a throws coach and a jumps coach often require very different skill sets and expertise (though some skills are important for a coach of any sport, obv). My vote would be for Henes, or Diljeet Taylor. Henes for getting mega talents and doing so well transitioning them into college stars, Taylor for consistently making NCAA champions out of women who's high school PR's were 19+ for 5k

Based on results, how can either of those you mention be better than coach Smith at NAU? He already has 4 Bill Dellinger awards as coach of the year.

Right now, I’ll go with Mike Holloway at Florida or Duane Ross at North Carolina A&T.

The "best" coach is hard to define. If you look at what Joey Woody has done at University of Iowa, they had 3/8 finalist in the men's 400 at indoor championships. He consistently has 1-2 hurdle finalist, 1-2 decathlon finalist. And consistently has a top 5 4x400. Doing so with absolutely 0 instate talent is quite impressive. I'd argue in the hurdles and 400s, there is not a coach who can get more from less. Obviously Iowa is not the best program, but hard to argue that any other coach could do what he has done, where he has done it.
Wakenight received USTFCCCA region coach of the year honors for coaching the 400 runners at Iowa.
Anybody who knows Iowa knows it's Woody. Wakenight is riding on Woody's coat tails. Wouldn't be at all surprised if Woody put Wakenight up for the award in hopes that some school will try to lure him away...LOL

There are many great coaches out there.
but, the best coach these days is the coach with the best athletes, athletes make coaches look good.

No question the best coach is the NCAA is St. Peters Women's Basketball Coach Phyllis Man-Gina.
Phyllis Mangina - Women's Basketball Coach - Saint Peter's University Athletics (saintpeterspeacocks.com)

When ranking coaches one should first know who really coaches who....
To me the best coach is the one who coaches good student-athletes who excel in school and helps the least talented to have nice four years but also that Olympian to achieve his dreams.
Coaching is so much luck, which athletes injuries oneself in some freak thing, who happens to land that supertalent etc....

Texas women 4x100m relay opens up with a 42.42 at 9:30am for the #6 all-time team in NCAA history. Expect that 4x1 record to fall this year.

Didn't he retire? I think that he is now an assistant coach. He coached around 54 years so he deserves to retire.
It's hard to comprehend someone coaching that long but Jack Hazen at Malone College in Ohio also coached about that long. He didn't have the success of Carius but Malone has had a lot of solid distance teams over the years. When Hazen stepped down, it was noticable. The same at North Central. They don't seem to be as good now and a lot of D3 programs in the Midwest have caught up.

I just went back up and watched the Penny Hardaway video. Hardaway was spot on but I wish that he could have said what he did without the profanity. The media guys ask really stupid questions at the pressers. I'm surprised that more coaches don't lose their temper and call them out.

Thats extremely fast for this early in the season. That wasnt a race that was a time trial. I fear there is no team to answer them this year. Texas is loaded

IF you are talking about getting the most out of the athletes he has, then (in distance at least) it is Ryan Cole USAFA. No one comes close.
Doesn't Joey Woody have a son (or a relative at least) on the Iowa roster right now?
