Coaching market slows as old guards outpace youngsters
The Chicago sunpage discusses coaching shortages as top programs favor veterans over greenhorns. It notes Northwestern Ohio State and Purdue hiring older coaches, and cites Lynn Waldorf’s California move, Bob Voigts’ eight years, and Wes Fesler at Pitt, with Purdue likely naming a virtually unknown successor. It also covers boxing and amateur status issues in Chicago, Keeley bowling records, and praise for a Hawaiian boxing club visit.
