OSU hires Coleman Scott as associate wrestling head coach
STILLWATER — Oklahoma State’s wrestling staff shuffling continued Monday, with the program announcing the hiring of former Cowboys standout Coleman Scott as associate head coach.
Scott was North Carolina’s head coach the past eight years.
“Coming back to Oklahoma State and having the opportunity to serve Coach (John) Smith and this program means the world to me,” Scott said.
Scott’s hiring comes days after former OSU assistant Zack Esposito left the program for a coaching position with USA Wrestling. Esposito served as the Cowboys’ associate head coach the past seven seasons and served under Smith since 2010.
Scott most recently coached North Carolina to 12th place at the NCAA Championships in Tulsa — UNC’s best team finish since 1995 — and 157-pounder Austin O’Connor to his second NCAA individual national title in March. … rest of story at … Tulsaworld.com/college/osu/osu-hires-coleman-scott-as-associate-wrestling-head-coach
