MPICK 4 Report post Posted November 9, 2012 Les was a great assistant coach for Harold and ISU. Went to a few camps there back in the sixties and he was always the one to help. A great coach was lost. RIP LES Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grapplefan 2 Report post Posted November 12, 2012 Les did a lot for wrestling in Iowa, and for wrestling in general. He was also a great guy, and superb coach. You can still find his technique videos, and they are good. Here is Les Anderson's obituary from the Des Moines Register http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/desmoi ... bLoggedOut Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheerstress 168 Report post Posted November 14, 2012 Why did he not get the ISU job when Dr. Nichols retired? Gibbons supposedly shined at the interview, and the administration apparently took the young energetic guy over the older experienced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
