Coaches that I absolutely appreciate for a lot:

Harold Jagerson- he demanded excellence on the mats and uniformity amongst his athletes. He brought Chapman pride by having them place in every regular season tournament for nearly 3 full years while I was there. Went on to coach at KSU for Club team.

Bill Christener - From the rival school of Abilene but always there with a good pat on the back or willing to help you out by giving you advice on personal matters and such. Very compassionate about the sport and like to see Kansas succeed on the national and college levels as well. A man of God and not afraid to pray right there for you.

Doug Moore- in my opinion probably the funniest most laid back coach in Kansas when I was in high school. Firey and Fierce as an opposing coach, but get to know him and he's someone that is eager to sit down and tell a good story with you wrestling or otherwise.

Gonzo- Went out of his way to talk with me on several occasions (most notably at 2004 kids state before I became ill) He talked with me about the desire to want to coach and gave me pointers on lessons he's learned in coaching and dove in deep with interest to see what my coaching mentality is if I desired to be a coach.

Bob Warkentine- TOUGH! When Coach Jagerson took Chapman over to Salina South for a Summer Workout Wrestling Camp we got to see Bob Warkentine get in there and scrap it up with us guys. He was a methodical coach and would show you a move from several angles. After attending his camp Chapman had some noticable changes in agressiveness and heart. Bob would make a great College coach.
