Bob Coached at Chaminade High School in the 80's..then at Plainedge from 89 to 92,then East Meadow from 93 to 94..then OceanSide from 03 to 05..He,Has not Coach at a High School because of his loyalty to John Gresheimer..After Gresheimers Transfer out of Oceanside...Has only Coached privately for Gresheimer...I have know Bob since 7th Grade,He is a great guy,will give you his shirt off his back,but this sometimes gets him in trouble..either you Love him or Hate him..But always a lot of Fun,He is simply the best..

You want to know where Bob was such a great athlete at? Not Wantagh HS. Plainedge HS. Now Bob is coaching the rival school. How about showing a little loyalty for the school you represented in high school?

Hey,That's Bob O'Connor from Long Island...I know he was a Great Wrestler.But This guy was a incredible Baseball Player,once went 5 for 5,with 3 Homer's and 2 triples. then we played them two weeks later,in a play-off Game,so we Walked him 4 times.In the top of the 11 inning with Bases full he came up to the plate. Yes a Grand Slam on the 1st pitch.The Guy was just incredible. One of the Best Athletes of his Time. Great to see Bob it's been a long time.

Bob Oconnor A Changed Man

Bob O'conner is a serious New York wrestling fan. He has been part of the debate between the 1 class v 2 class system. This years state tournament has swayed his thinking in this matter.
