Nathan 2 Report post Posted January 16 Is AU wrestling this season? They have no schedule nor any recent program updates. They have a few highly ranked individuals in Harvey, Clarke, and Curry. Any insight? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swayz 97 Report post Posted January 18 Lot of teams supposedly wrestling are slower than molasses in putting up schedules on a normal year...let alone this year. Usually those are the teams we wonder if they even field a program anymore in my opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ConnorsDad 570 Report post Posted January 18 They are having a season. Lack of practice time forced by protocols, admin, etc. has made it a bit of a crapshoot but seeing as how nobody is going to have a full schedule it may not be too bad. In other news there, Teague brought in a big recruiting class for next year and, before COVID, there was an announcement that former AU wrestler Alan Meltzer and his wife along with Jack Cassell were donating 10M for a new Center for Athletic Performance and Israel Studies Fellowship. This center would be where wrestling & volleyball practice and competition venues and the weight room are to be moved so things are looking up on that front as well. This came out at the end of 2019 and they had 2 more donations in Dec. 20 so heres hoping they break ground soon.. My kid is pretty close mouthed about everything but he has said he absolutely loves wrestling for Coach Moore. Hopefully they can have some semblance of a season and then next year everything will be back to normal. 2 Plasmodium and wrestlingnerd reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like there have been about 5 other Jewish Wrestling Gold. 1 Hungary, the others Soviet Edited January 19 by RichB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ConnorsDad 570 Report post Posted January 22 The wrestlers were told today in a zoom meeting. They were not told much else except they would be looking for a replacement but it obviously would not be immediate. Their practice time on the mat has been sporadic because of COVID outbreaks. I can say this though - He is one of the finest people I have ever met (my son absolutely loves wrestling for him) and I feel fortunate my son got to know him and wrestle for him. He has been instrumental in my son growing up as a man not just a wrestler. I hate we lost him and don't understand it at all. 4 gromit, wrestlingnerd, jdalu75 and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TLS62pa 48 Report post Posted January 22 I’d like to hear more on this move. It sounds like there was tension with Admin and people at AU not fond of Moore. He was doing good things at AU. It sounds like there could be more to this politically. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jdalu75 93 Report post Posted January 22 I just found out about this a little while ago. Completely stunned. Teague was on a contract that took him through 2023, so it wasn't like AU just moved a little early; you don't give a coach who'd been in the position for eight years a four-year extension if you're not happy with his work. Both assistants are gone too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
