How about the facts? wrote:
InWyo, check your facts. It is quite easy to sit behind your computer in your basement and rag on people you know very little to nothing about. And you have quite a point when you say that your distance runner friend got injured (because distance runners NEVER get injured) under the tutelage of the sprints/jumps/hurdles coach!
But instead of discussing your lack of logic, let me just mention the facts. Coach Yentes has coached: 28 All-American Performances, 78 NCAA National Qualifiers, 64 Mountain West Conference Champions, 274 All-Mountain West Conference Performances, and one NCAA National Champion. Good luck finding stats like that from any other coaches at Wyoming.
And don't forget the 4 separate Coach of the Year awards he won.
All of this was accomplished with a shoestring budget, while recruiting kids to sprint and hurdle at 7200 feet, where it is winter three-quarters of the year. AND,(for over half of his tenure) to a school with no outdoor track. (Yes, they practiced for years at good ol' LHS' stellar outdoor facility!)Not too shabby.
Hope this helps clear things up a bit.
