Good point, but the OP's question shows he hasn't even gone to the trouble of looking at Hudson's site. And as for answers here using the wisdom of the crowd, Hudson no longer coaches at least two of the people said on here to be among his current athletes.

True. I agree that he or she should certainly do further research.

Wow! You are so wrong. This is--in fact--a terrible source for RESEARCH INFORMATION for high school or college. First off, it's an internet source (which would be rated very low for reliability). None of the information, however true it might be, would be considered fact (without proper documentation). Matter of fact (no pun intended), without an author, it creates additional bias too.
However much we enjoy this site, it does NOT equate to a legitimate, FORMAL source for an academic paper.
Absolute rubbish. The OP is asking "Who has Brad Hudson coached?" What do you consider a legitimate source to answer that question? The New York Times? The ignorant scribblings from Gina Kolata? Please, edify me, REAL English Teacher?
The OP has the best resource in the world available to him right here. It's free and he doesn't have to leave home to get that information. Someone will have the answer.

Oh, how about Running Times magazine? Runners' World magazine? Both sources (however much people on this site would like to bash them) have a legitimacy that can’t be found on an anonymous message board.
(By the way, The New York Times article on Alberto Salazar would be considered a “better source” [in the academic sense] than information you posted on a website. Albeit, if someone conducted a personal interview with you, Malmo, then that’s a different story.)
In research, one must recognize the 4 “R’s”:
1.) Is your source relevant? (Does it relate to your paper?)
2.) Is your source reliable? (What is the source? Where did it come from?)
3.) Is your source recent? (The more recent, the better!)
4.) Is your source representative? (Does it show a balance [both sides of the argument]?)
Now, does this site answer those 4 questions? Probably not. This site is a good site for INFORMAL & BIASED information.
And, just for the record, depending on the class, a research paper on Brad Hudson—without a real focus--probably isn’t that good of a topic either.
He may or may not have coached Mohamed Trafeh.

This website has a search function for all postings. If you type in "Brad Hudson coaching," you get a ton of information.
Every time I tell someone about the search function, and how easy it is to use, they insult me, so I get tired of that.
It takes less than a minute to get a whole list of who he has coached. If you are new at matching questions with answers, it might take you another minute. That's partly why I told you "Brad Hudson coaching," because you might not think of that in the first second, as I did.
The poster who hinted about Google is another person with first second kind of inspiration. I'll bet a minute there will be useful too, even a second minute if you type in extraneous things like "wallpaper prices Brad Hudson."
I don't know where the mental disconnect is when someone wants info from this website and comes to the message board asking for the information, instead of searching the site itself. It's like going to a library and asking people in the lobby questions about what's in the encyclopedia in the next room. When does it say China's current borders were established? Uh...go look. It's right there, dude. You've come to the library, why stop in the lobby and ask other people about the library's contents?
Maybe he already did that and was looking for some more information that he may have missed...
Sorry pal, Runner's World has ZERO legitimacy. They haven't had it in over 30 years. It's a magazine for bored housewives. Running Times. Do you not they that Gerwick and friends don't peruse this message board closely for information and ideas? I'd bet the farm on it.
I've not seen one article on running in NYT that rises above the objectivity of Tiger Beat.
You are much more likely to get your four Rs here than from your precious Fanzines.
Letsrun is the best website for getting information on competitive running, regardless of the noise.

The OP's very first post indicated that the paper is on Ritzenhein, not Hudson.
The OP may want to try for some primary source information and submit the request directly to Coach Hudson at
