Regardless he still went on to place third at high school National Championships. In College he attended Cal Poly before transferring to Slippery Rock University his sophomore year. There he continued his success and was a runner-up his junior year and dominated the season his senior year before tearing out his knee and coming down with bronchitis and ear infections. Even still he wrestled injured and sick and made it back to the NCAA tournament before being knocked out short of meeting his goal of being a national Champion. After college Jack Spates went into sales but couldn?t stomach the company he worked for so he took a job as a coach at a seminary. Coaching was a natural talent for Jack Spates. His abilities as a coach lead him to climb the later from that lowly seminary all the way up to a Big 12 and national powerhouse of Oklahoma University. However, at the time that Coach Spates took over the Oklahoma program it was beginning to fade. Coach Spates quickly changed that and restored the program. Now expect OU to consistently place in the top 5 year in and year out. Jack Spates influence and success as a coach extends beyond his wrestlers but to his staff. Two of the other 4 Big 12 Schools? coaches Brian Smith and Mark Manning have served as assistants to Coach Spates before taking on Head Coaching positions where they have had tremendous success.

#36	Anonymous Coward October 30, 2008 at 10:32am Jack Spates, if he doesn't turn it around. Their si going to be a new coach at OU reply
#35	Bailey Fan October 26, 2008 at 12:03pm Bailey did the flip against that wrestler (Marcus Armato) because Armato and Bailey wrestled on the same time in HS (Oak Park). Bailey was having fun against his old/new teammate. I gotta tell you though that Armato is a very dedicated wrestler. He spent a couple years behind Bailey, Nay & etc but stuck it out and eventually made the varsity team. Armato works hard and I enjoyed watching him, Zach Bailey, Mac Bailey, Dylan Joiner & etc practice at Victory Academy, alot of fun to watch. That's my opinion of the flip, Bailey having some fun. reply
#34	Welch's Grapejuice October 25, 2008 at 12:23am Hey Indiana wrestler, Mario Mason is wrestling 4 Minnesota. reply
#33	Zach Even - Esh October 23, 2008 at 11:23pm awesome stuff: great to see cartwheels, takedowns with lifts, reverse body lifts. I think those 3 "little" things are underestimated and should be used more frequently in the practice room to improve strength, conditioning and atgleticism --z-- reply
#32	INDIANA WRESTLER October 23, 2008 at 12:59pm WHO ELSE NEW FOR OU ISN'T MARIO MASON FRESHMAN reply
#31	?? October 22, 2008 at 11:25pm is that Armstrong from cleveland state??...wow he's about to tear it up at OU reply
#30	Silver October 22, 2008 at 6:36pm Who IS that ball of fire??? The one who does the flip over the guy in the "down by 1 point goround" reply
#29	Fan October 22, 2008 at 5:14pm No shot OU is top three in the country. They sure look a ton better then they have previous years but far from top 5. Should be exciting to see how much they improve this season! reply
#28	Michael Smithfoot October 22, 2008 at 2:29pm great video, gives me some ideas for this season. I like that practice room. reply

#19	Liking Quotes October 21, 2008 at 5:28am Coach has some memorable quotes....fight for position.....chest to chest.....lower your level. Good luck to all his guys. Really liked that you gave as much time as possible to the workout. P.S. Mr.TJX---a clue is to watch Flowrestling in the AM....get pumped....start being more active in your brain from the gitgo and then you'll be makilng better choices during the day. Not preaching. Just telling my experience. reply

#11	TJ X October 20, 2008 at 8:50pm I agree Chico, watching this video tonight made me want to finally get in shape too so I pushed aside the Cheetos and soda pop, put on my windsuit/running shoes, ran about 10 feet, nearly collapsed from exhaustion, and came back to my chips, soda pop, and my Flo Wrestling. I will just come to grips to where and who I am in this life, a big stiff. reply
#10	Joe October 20, 2008 at 8:47pm Zach Bailey looked good in this video. As of right now I think Oklahoma is the one of the top three teams in wrestling. reply
#9	PaRules October 20, 2008 at 7:32pm I sat next to Coach Spates during one of Justins State finals match... I was an eighth grader with no clue who he was until i looked at him and said "the kid in blue is a beast." To which he replied.. "thanks, ill tell him at dinner tonight" reply
#8	Brett Wheelan October 20, 2008 at 7:00pm Is this OU's new facility? Or is still being completed? reply
#7	Shoes October 20, 2008 at 6:56pm whats wrestling shoes are they wearing? reply

#4	Mike James October 20, 2008 at 5:18pm whats the guys name who front flips at 630ish? reply
#3	Travell Rounds October 20, 2008 at 5:00pm great video !!!! does any one know what the name of the shoes their wear they look nice and the whole team get them reply
#2	Aardvark Ratnick October 20, 2008 at 4:31pm Now I understand why we cannot compete well anymore on the international level and it all becomes clear after watching this awesome video, no disrespect intended. 90% of what we do in college training THESE DAYS does not bode well for freestyle rules, i.e. scrambling to the bitter end rolling across our backs over and over and over again. Having these scrambling positions engrained one million times before we finish folkstyle wrestle makes it nearly impossible to make the smooth transition to freestyle. Great for folkstyle but useless in freestyle. But what an AWESOME video! I think the aardvark has spotted David Armstrong! HERE'S A WASSUP FROM THE CLEVETOWN BOYS, GOOD LUCK DAVID!!! reply
#1	TJ X October 20, 2008 at 4:20pm I love this sport. reply
