I just got some breaking news!!!!
It appears that Maryland Coach Pat Santoro has resigned to become the Head Coach at Lehigh. Santoro was previously an assistant at Lehigh and brought some great talent in.
At this time I'm not sure what happened with Greg Strobel, but I'm sure we will learn more as the evening progresses.
Edit*** Coach Strobel is stepping aside to pursue a position in the Lehigh athletic dept. Stay tuned within the next few days for announcements regarding Coach Santoro's staff and who Maryland is pursuing for the head coaching position.

I have finally been in contact with Greg, Pat and Tim. All of them are jumping for joy with the new arrangements and say they have achieved a long sought after goal; Greg to admin, Pat head coach at Lehigh and Tim a head coaching job near home. I hope that Jon Trenge and Kutz are just as lucky. Coach Santoro has shown at UMD he has the stuff to continue a long winning tradition at Lehigh. He was one of the coaches that recruited Connor and UMD, Ind. and Lehigh made the cut to the end. Connor opted for a smaller school and a far better possibility at making the NCAAs than the ACCs where it is1 mistake and done deal. We both are happy that this transition is so seamless and want to wish all of these guys success and contentment in their new roles. I sure hope they get a ltwt coach of Tim's caliber. He is top notch!!

^^^There are a lot of us western PA wrestling fans of the Pitt Panthers and Coach Stottlemyer who are huge fans of EWL/Panther great Pat Santoro. I am so glad he's gotten the opportunity to go back home to Bethlehem and coach. I am sure the Lehigh fans are dancing in the streets! I think that next year immediately you will see Lehigh wrestlers better conditioned, physically stronger, with better and more-varied technique, and a heck of a lot more aggressive. Best of everything to Coach Santoro! -Stove Pipe
