Big Announcement

[MarkK]

Regardless, I say good for Trevor.   I'm happy for him.  I hope it is just the start of something huge for him and Bucky wrestling.

Is Kyle Ruschell still on the coaching staff?

Good question.

Is Kyle Ruschell still on the coaching staff?

I believe so

It seems in the past when the title of associate head coach is added to to an assistants name it is to try and hang onto them and keep the wolves at bay.I wonder if any of this is going on with Trevor i.e. getting offers from other programs.

It would have been a big announcement if they named Trevor head coach and Barry associate head coach.

I will be honest and was thinking that when I saw the tweet I was wondering if Barry was stepping down and taking another position within the athletic department and he was happy about it for him as well as for Trevor.  At least there would have been change.  The only change yesterday was the lost recruit.

I found this definition of an Associate Head Coach

99.9% of the time this is the head coach wanting to acknowledge the contribution of a longtime assistant, and that their responsibilities are greater than that of the typical assistant. It nearly never includes more pay, and certainly doesn't mean they are the head coach in waiting. It's a show of respect, and a title that doesn't change their responsibilities.

The prodigal son is returning. Jesse Thielke is coming back to UW wrestling.

Why on earth would they bring him back?!?

Wait, are you just trying to stir the pot?! That's my deal and you need to back the puck off.

It would shock me if they bring him back.

It would be interesting to see the source of that definition

Love Trevor. Not 100% sold on this position. I heard JT was going to come back, if just get out from under of where he is at now...

I hope Jesse does come back.  If he focuses on folkstyle and wrestles at a weight he is not undersized, I still think he has very good potential.  IMO it would also be good for wisconsin wrestling in general as a lot of kids look up to him.

What is this statement suppossed to mean?  He is not under anything...he is is coaching kids at Ringers, has done several camps for other and is also the guessed speaker this morning at the Fellowship of Christian athletes in Slinger this morning.

Be nice just to come back to school. I like to see our kids graduate, sport or not. Hope Jesse the best whatever he chooses.
