Well, pushing that stupid last comment about Ship aside, I'll say this:
I think Rohl deserves to be on that list of coaches. Maybe this will bring up more crap talk, but I feel he's earned to be on this list created on great PSAC coaches.
He hasn't put in decades like many of the coaches, he's done some crazy things.
When I first entered the program (and this is not long ago. Less than 10 years ago) the track and field team had a whopping $3000 of scholarship money for the men.
Rohl, like many of the great PSAC coaches, has taken what little he has, and produced some great athletes. In a very short time, he has had many men and women become All-PSAC and some earn All-America honors. Just off the top of my head (and I'm sure I'm leaving some out), these athletes were at least All-PSAC:
Women:
Charity Learn - XC, Distance
Rachel Hall - XC, Distance
Katrina Brumfield - High Jump
Amanda Fedish - Sprints
Nicole Dann - Mid Distance
Clarissa Correll - XC
Brenae Edwards - XC
Women's Indoor DMR
Men:
Kyle Kintner - Pole Vault
Jeremy Confer - Javelin
Chris Cummings - XC, Mid/Long Distance
Dave Sanford - Mid Distance
Josh Wooten - XC, Long Distance
Mike Gray - Shot, Discus
Men's Indoor DMR
I know many schools can come up with lists 30x as large. It's not my point to make a tally of which school has more or less. My point is that Rohl, despite what many say, has done A LOT with the little he gets. I think this lists alone shows that he isn't even satisfied with working with just sprints or just field. He has a broad range of athletes and disciplines on there.
The man gets a lot of flak, especially here on letsrun. If you took the time to sit down and talk to him, you'd probably have a different opinion. This applies to anyone and everyone. I wish the people on here would actually talk to some of these people they criticize instead of just making judgements from seeing them at a meet from a far distance or something. Jeez.
I almost forgot: I hated that comment about the rest of the PSAC hating Edinboro. I'm obviously not from there, and even though I can't say we ever beat them, I don't hate them. I had the pleasure of talking to Watts a few times, and love the guy. That goes along with some of the guys on the team. All of the Fighting Scots that I've ever talked to: Cool Guys.
Come to think of it, looking back, I really enjoyed this conference. I didn't really party much, but I did make it to a Lock Haven track party once and had a blast. Those guys were really cool. Past Ship guys were also very cool. Anyway, I could probably ramble for a while about other things that happened with other PSAC schools and Mansfield.
My point is that I think Rohl has embodied the PSAC spirit of putting everything you have into a program with the little bit you're provided and never settling. I also think that too many negative PSAC guys post on here instead of the cooler guys.
I would always rather hear of funny PSAC stories than the latest on who is and isn't gay. Good luck to everyone indoors and out, and my apologies for such a long and exhausting post.
