I’m wondering why ISU doesn’t have the Assistant Head coach title? Most teams have HC, Assistant HC and then 2 Assistant coaches for wrestling (Iowa,
MN, Purdue for example) Why run one short?

The NCAA limit is 3 paid coaches, no matter if they're called head coach, associate head coach, assistant head coach, or assistant coach.

All of the schools you listed have 3 paid coaches.

Really? So when Zadick was here Metcalf or St John were unpaid? That doesn’t sound right.

Or perhaps you’re sayin you can have 3 paid assistants.

I guess to restate the question, Zadick left and wasn’t replaced. We seem to be one coach short compared to peers.

Nope, only 3 paid coaches. Head Coach (Dresser) and two assistants (St. John and Metcalf). Most teams have a volunteer assistant and that position is a lot of times collecting a salary through the RTC. We actual do have Fernando Villaescusa in that volunteer position currently and that is the role Metcalf was in until Zadick's departure.

Yep, Metcalf was Volunteer Assistant and the CRTC coach. Was still getting paid, but just with CRTC funds.

Is there a limit to how many “Volunteer”
Coaches via RTC’s you can have? Are there rules on those guys at all?

1 volunteer coach can participate in coaching, practice, or other organized team activity -- but not recruiting off-campus.

I think you can only have 1 volunteer assistant on the bench. I'm not sure all of the rules. This year we have Fernando Villaescusa, whose son is a recruit and he speaks Spanish to help with communication between the staff and Bastida.
