Joe Newton is now in his 42nd year of coaching at York High School in Elmhurst, IL, and his 45th year of high school coaching overall. Does anyone know of any coach who approaches that length of time as a high school coach? Are there any with his record of overall succcess? Newton has won 22 state titles, and has taken 2nd 19 times (I think) and has never finished lower than 5th. I know there are excellent coaches at Meade HS in Spokane (Pat Tyson), at Shenadowah and Saratoga Springs in NY, at Bingham and Mountain View in Utah, at Kingwood and The Woodlands in TX, Jesuit and Long Beach Poly in CA, Flathead in MT- but do they come close?
