KING’S COACH NED McGINLEY TO RETIRE AFTER 48 SEASONS

TDR Editor’s Notes ; We like to recognize long time college coaches. Coach McGinley started their program almost 50 years ago and is one of the longest serving.
********************************************************
WILKES-BARRE — Last month it was revealed by the National Wrestling Media Association that King’s College head wrestling coach Ned McGinley was the longest-tenured active head wrestling coach at all levels of NCAA wrestling.  Now, after 48 years at the helm of the Monarchs, McGinley has decided the 2016-17 season will be his last. McGinley formally made the announcement at a press conference Thursday in King’s Scandlon Gymnasium. McGinley and King’s Wrestling go hand-in-hand. To say McGinley ‘is King’s College Wrestling’ would not be an exaggeration.  After all, McGinley started wrestling at King’s in 1968 and has been the only head coach in program history. The Monarchs began as a Division II program but joined the NCAA Division III ranks in 1980 when King’s became a member of the Middle Atlantic Conference.
