HokieToph • 03/24/26 11:40 AM ET
Examples?**
Hokie Flyer • 03/24/26 04:00 PM ET
Have wondered - Catka going to Rut
Jeffrey4VT • 03/24/26 04:23 PM ET
Um his best year was a So. % WL and he made RD12 with 3-2 at NCAAs.
Hokie Flyer • 03/24/26 05:15 PM ET
He did beat the #6 & #11 at NCAAT this year - believe those are
133966Hokie • 03/24/26 06:17 PM ET
Of course. I wanted Catka to pull it off. True story...
Hokie Flyer • 03/24/26 07:02 PM ET
Two best examples I have are both rivals: Kasper and Macc
Jeffrey4VT • 03/25/26 03:20 PM ET
Those are two great stand outs especially Macch.
Hokie Flyer • 03/25/26 05:31 PM ET
Anytime buddy!
Jeffrey4VT • 03/25/26 09:05 PM ET
David Hoffman, Chris Diaz, Sal Mastriani to name a few VT guys.**

Data?**
Hokie Flyer • 03/24/26 08:57 PM ET
That’s from memory, which isn’t always 100% reliable **
emhokie • 03/24/26 10:34 PM ET
Looks like Chris made 6th in his Senior year in 2014

Wow that is an impressive story and great example of development over time.**
Hokie Flyer • 03/25/26 09:54 AM ET
All good. Brainstorming off your last question…
133966Hokie • 03/24/26 07:10 PM ET
Haught was ranked in the top 10 by his 2nd year**
Palmetto Hokie • 03/24/26 09:51 PM ET
Decent examples.
Hokie Flyer • 03/24/26 07:16 PM ET
Cat was dragging that leg pretty good after the match!!**
wasris • 03/24/26 04:45 PM ET
Don’t forget that the difference between AA and 1-2 can boil down to
TartanHokie • 03/23/26 07:24 PM ET
Development
VTErnie • 03/23/26 07:04 PM ET
That would have been Coach Frank Teske**
94HokieME • 03/24/26 08:00 PM ET
Cheynet?**
emhokie • 03/23/26 07:53 PM ET
Cheynet didn't coach a bit ... just blew the whistle when it was time to
HokieToph • 03/24/26 11:23 AM ET
I am going to vehemently agree with this.**
Hokie Flyer • 03/24/26 04:00 PM ET
I will change my comment a little. He did roll with some of the guys
HokieToph • 03/24/26 04:45 PM ET
Probably Brands. **
GreenvilleVT • 03/23/26 09:13 PM ET
Nah
SCA Hokie • 03/24/26 12:35 PM ET
Lids aren’t fundamentally different nowadays
Mr McGibblets • 03/23/26 06:44 PM ET
Upper weight coaching change?
GreenvilleVT • 03/23/26 06:59 PM ET
I don't think we necessarily need a new coach but if I could pick...
donjfs3 • 03/23/26 08:29 PM ET
There are some very valid points here. I would add that our
TartanHokie • 03/23/26 07:38 PM ET
How about the Wyoming Heavy Coach.
133966Hokie • 03/23/26 07:55 PM ET
The 197 that Sasso majored? And Carroll was elite coming out of HS. **
TartanHokie • 03/24/26 02:10 PM ET
Yeah-Novak-the AA this year-got 4th only losing to Barr&Little (Champ&3rd)
133966Hokie • 03/24/26 04:21 PM ET
You’re right. They had a great weekend. But, is it fair to base coaching
TartanHokie • 03/24/26 04:57 PM ET
I’m certainly not basing it on just the weekend.
133966Hokie • 03/24/26 06:47 PM ET
Don’t really disagree with much here. I just wonder how much more is on
TartanHokie • 03/25/26 02:53 PM ET
Truth and I would add that....
Hokie Flyer • 03/24/26 07:32 PM ET

donjfs3 • 03/23/26 08:31 PM ET
Makes sense to me, FWIW…**
TomA • 03/23/26 06:28 PM ET
There is definitely some merit to this
donjfs3 • 03/23/26 06:14 PM ET
This is essentially true... it's more about toughness, heart, & discipline
