Episode 180 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast will talk to two
former Knox College wrestling coaches in the hopes of finding out
just where the issues arose after the school cut its Division III
wrestling program last week.
Joe Norton and Matt Lowers both ran the program for one year.
Norton left prior to this past season to take the coaching post at
his alma mater, Division III North Central College in Naperville,
Ill. Certainly no shame in having an opportunity to coach one's
alma mater. Lowers, a Concordia-Moorhead graduate, was previously
the head coach at the University of the Cumberlands, an NAIA
program in Kentucky. He stepped away from coaching Knox after one
year due to medical issues.
Both Norton and Lowers talk about where they saw the program
heading, why they left and what happened to the alleged dedication
to the program from boosters? Both coaches believed there was a
pledge from alumni to help fund the program for five seasons.
Norton and Lowers were the first two full-time head coaches in
program history after Tony Islas stepped down after 12 years as a
part-time coach.
