Since it was mentioned, when I was young I always admired the coaches of the NWKL. Buzz Matson,Bill Pickenpaugh,Rocky Welton,Gus Garcia,Jake Durham and I am sure I have missed many more.
I occasional see there names mention here in on the forum,that tells me that they are respected by many young and old.
I get a kick out of hearing how these men left there schools and maybe helped out another school become famous with there wrestling programs....I am also amazed how many indivuals that came out of these programs to become great coaches.
