Whoa.
Discussion Topic: Kowatch will not return as head coach at Ashland University
Nationals are coming, where I think AU will do very well at if this doesn't become a distraction. Hard to believe that it won't now. The timing is really suspect as it would be much harder for the AD to justify doing this after the team/coach does well at nationals. Ray does a tremendous job at AU and made it the national power that it is. I have nothing but respect for the man, what he's done there, and what he's done within the community. There are big shoes to fill for whoever steps in, that's for sure.

This is surprising news. When one examines the collegiate wrestling scene in Ohio, Ashland has been one of the state's most successful programs. It's probably the last place where I expected to see a coaching change.

This has been coming for a long time. Only the people in the program truly know how Ray Kowatch is as a wrestling coach and a person. Ashland University has been under achieving for many years and that is a direct reflection on his coaching style. There is no respect for someone like Ray Kowatch from most of the wrestlers that have ever been under him. My time spent there he was verbally and physically abusive to some well beyond tough love. Ray Kowatch is a great recruiter and has lived off the talent and hard work that high school coaches have put in with the wrestlers that go there. Being in the room for four years, the only teaching that went on was from other wrestlers on the team. His constant negativity and thinking that he is all powerful has put him in a situation where he has now been told he can not go to the upcoming national tournament and has had a restraining order placed on him from the university. Alumni from the past four years are very pleased and feel that this is the best thing that could have happened for the program.
