RIP

He’s said more about him elsewhere, but Cael shared this on him after the Iowa dual last year:

My coach Bobby Douglas, same thing: never talked about winning it was just getting better and wrestling and doing what you do. So yeah I just was fortunate to come up with some great coaches and some great men and it always worked for me.

This interview of Steve Mocco tells you everything you need to know about Bobby Douglas. At the 2003 NCAA tournament Steve came in as the #1 seed. In his first match Steve was called for an illegal move against his Iowa State opponent, who got injured to the point where Assistant coach Chris Bono was going to have his wrestler take the win via disqualification against Mocco. Coach Douglas was in the stands and saw what was happening. He jumped down from the stands and ran across three mats to make sure his wrestler didn't win that way. He had his wrestler resume the match for one second and then he had his wrestler medically default. This allowed Mocco to advance and ultimately win the title that year. What a class act Coach Douglas was! P.S., The Iowa State wrestler was able to wrestle his next match, but lost in OT.
