The best high school coach is a good mentor and person who can lead young students to becoming great adults. That's hard to quantify. There are a lot of great coaches who provide great leadership to young humans. Ultimately, the speed of all of their runners is not that important. The best high school coaches aren't in the sport for those reasons. In reality what a runner does in high school doesn't really matter as must as competitive high school coaches want to believe.

In reality, if the kids are good enough to receive a scholarship, running fast means everything. A good coach isn’t handing out participation medals.
There are many HS coaches as good as Brosnan. The difference is that the Young and Sahlman families didn’t live in their areas.

All this time, and no one attacked the premise of the question? Who ever said Brosnan was the best high school coach? Take the Youngs and Sahlmans away and what did he do?

First off if you take the Sahlman’s and Young’s out of the equation then you need to take the top two families out of every other coaches equation. Brosnan also coached the girls 4x1600m national record , 4:36girl , many sub 9min including 8:44 for boys. The list goes on and on with other top performances in a short time. yes he’s the best coach California ever saw and the that’s facts. this is the same thread with the same jealous coaches posting.

Bla bla bla next please
People also need to realize that the year before Brosnan started coaching NP, they could never qualify for the state meet, at least for a long time

Here is what the top 5 would have looked like without the Sahlmans and Youngs: 2018 - Ronk, Aschbrenner, Long, Goldstein, Appleford 2019 - Aschbrenner, Goldstein, Appleford, McDonnell, Siroky 2020 - Simone, Goldstein, Appleford, McDonnell, Cantu 2021 - McDonnell, Martinez, Doshi, Cantu, Blunt 2022 - Seymour, Cantu, Doshi, Shetty, Schohn In 2022 Sean was not their coach but was still writing the training plan so they could win another NXN title

Let’s take the top two families out of every coaches resume and post those to be fair. Brosnan did the unthinkable in a short amount of time. Newberry Park was number one in the country for 4 years
Brosnan is the opposite of Soles ( both extremely successful) and likes smaller teams with individual elite focus. He get my vote of best HS coach we’ve ever seen. He literally changed the mentality of HS running.

Great Oak chose to rest 6 of its top 7 runners at the CIF-SS Division 1 Finals, but most people could hardly tell. The Wolfpack flashed their incredible dept...

And the girls running 4:36 in the 1600m , girls relay National records , many others running sub 9min. All this on like 5-6 years. Complete Legend without a doubt.
let’s take the top two family’s out of every program and of course it’s not as impressive
Brosnan is one of the best that we will ever see and the haters are in the basement wishing they on .1 of the success

Anywhere else, the top 2 families are comprised of one runner each, and none of them will be capable of 4:00/8:30. To run that fast, is 100% talent.
