The nation is starting to take renewed notice of the University of North Carolina’s wrestling program, and that’s exactly what Head Coach Coleman Scott wants.  Scott, a 2012 Olympic bronze medalist, is entering his second year as the head coach at UNC and his third year overall and is looking to return North Carolina to the elite level of college wrestling. “We’re in the young phases of our program as a whole, but I believe we have the right guys in the right places,” Scott said. “The pieces of the puzzle are there and we’re just putting it together. We’re on the right track at a fast pace.”  A 2008 NCAA champion for Oklahoma State, Scott was brought on prior to the 2014-15 season as an assistant coach to CD Mock. The next year, the North Carolina athletic department announced Scott as the new head coach as a result of Mock’s retirement.  Rest of the story at www.teamusa.org/USA-Wrestling/Features/North-Carolina-sets-high-goals-with-fresh-coaching-staff
