I don't know about the lover business, but I do know that he is a cheater and a liar. He didn't get suspended for being innocent did he? He is the luckiest coach in California. He should have been fired for his many violations.

Make you say Hmm said:
He is a cheater this guy will go to great lengths to get others to work for him and in his favor, I think his only problem is that he hasnt been able to spiff all of the officials to send points his way during close duals.
Steve is just stupid enough to bite the hands that feed him whatta jerkoff!!!
For some reason Steve seems to have an affection for Chris Hansen who is also dirty in the clovis realm of wrestling and seems to be a dity key player in all activity that seems questionabale when it comes to Tirapelle.
Steve has burned many people not sure how his eompoyer hasnt said enough already and can his ass and send him back to sacramento packing where he "Steve" can dominate the league of the deusche bags !!!
these tirapelles have bad odor anywhere they go when they come out to our side of the country to wrestle we just turn the other way we prefer not to even communicate with these !!

Coach T. is a fine coach. I would love to have my grandson wrestle for him. But we don't live in the Clovis district and I think it's more important to teach kids the value of loyality. Champions can and have come from anywhere. You just need a good support system. For us it starts with the family.

Shoot, if you are not from the clovis wrestling crowd, it doesn't mean that someone doesn't know another person. If you are outside of the clovis program, you can still see and observe a persons bad side. Tirapele does have a bad side, and just about everyone outside of clovis has seen it. If his mouth is open, it's badmouthing someone else about 70% of the time.

The Math Man   May 30, 2008 at 1:39pm
From 1998-2001 ('98 was coach T's first season):
12 state medals - 4 years (3 medals/year)
12 "clovis" medals
*i tend to label the coach's son a "homegrown" medal

From 2002-2008:
31 state medals - 7 years (4.4 medals/year)
14 "clovis" medals
7 moved after Jr high
6 moved after attending another hs (4 were hs in clovis unified)
4 moved after being state contestants

verdict = lots of success no matter how you slice it...Snapp

Here's Your Math!   May 29, 2008 at 7:32pm
To Set The Record Straight

This is a breakdown of Coach T's Move-In & Transfer vs. Home Grown State place winners over the last seven seasons. You can view the individual student athletes at http://www.cloviswrestling.com

For this analysis the Coach's son is excluded. Technically he is a transfer, but is a justified transfer. Analysis Excludes Tirapelle:

SPW=State Place Winners T=Transfer-Move In C=Clovis-Home Grown

2002: 2 SPW; 2T - 0C; 100% Transfer / 0% Clovis
2003: 6 SPW; 5T - 1C; 83% Transfer / 17% Clovis ***One Transfer could be Considered Clovis, Residence Clovis East Area, Boundary Change
2004: 3 SPW; 3T - 0C; 100% Transfer / 0% Clovis ***One Transfer could be Considered Clovis, Residence Clovis East Area, Moved
2005: 1 SPW; 1T - 0C; 100% Transfer / 0% Clovis
2006: 4 SPW; 2T - 2C; 50% Transfer / 50% Clovis ***One Transfer could be Considered Clovis, Residence Clovis East Area, Moved
2007: 5 SPW; 3T - 2C; 60% Transfer / 40% Clovis
2008: 7 SPW; 4T - 3C; 57% Transfer / 43% Clovis
reply  
#67
Even More Math!   May 29, 2008 at 7:30pm
28 Medals: 20T - 8C; 71% Transfers / 29% Clovis
***Apply the three medals on an enter-district transfer to Clovis: 17T - 11C; 61% Transfer / 39% Clovis

The greatest contributing factor to an outward appearance of success is Multiple State Place Winners. In these years: 8 Multiple SPW; 7T - 1C; 87% Transfer / 13% Clovis: 17 Medals; 88% Transfers / 12% Clovis

These are not distorted numbers. YOU BE THE JUDGE!

You Are Dumb And Stupid   May 23, 2008 at 10:08pm
lol is right. All these pro-Clovis videos are aimed at wrestlers in the central valley, particularly in the Fresno and Clovis areas. It is dumb to say people will move to the east coast. Being state champs here on the west cost is a lot easier and cheaper. Inform us about "Clovis" or the wrestling world? If that was the case, we would hear about wrestling on the east coast, Russia, China, Bulgaria, Iran, Japan, women's wrestling and the upcoming Olympic Trials. Who do you think you are fooling? You are obviously a part of that program and a low key recruiter. You have done a good job for the cats.

That Dumb   May 22, 2008 at 2:59pm
lol-There are hundreds of videos on flowrestling!! If kids want to go to to the best programs ever they will move to the east cost to wrestle out there!!

In all the years I've known Riley I've never heard him talk bad about anyone, much less another coach. He is an amazing coach who has coached some of the best as well as a state championship team. He is a very humble man without an ounce on arrogance. To not include him would be a mistake. Unless you have a personal problem with him, he is exactly what we were talking about.

I know Riley, but I've never coached with him. All of the coaches I do know like him and don't think he is arrogant in the least. That is a lot of people to consider. Any coach who consistantly has top teams and has won a state title in California can be called a good or great coach. I was also comparing his personality (humble) to those coaches. So to answer your question, it wss easy to compare Riley to those coaches. What do you have against him?

reply  
#24
Re: Arrogance Unwanted   May 16, 2008 at 12:46pm
"a little arrogance" is considerably different than an "overabundance of arrogance". That is where the Tirapelle's are vastly different. Adam fits into "a little arrogance" category. Steve fits into the, "o.o.a" category. Too much, is too much, in any person or in any sport.

Great interview. I came from a high school with the 30 dedicated ones rather than 5 average ones and it was a special, incredible experience. I love it how he spoke about getting the most potential out of a wrestler. Whether that is to win state or simply place in sections...it's about each wrestler peaking to be the best that they can be.

Any ways, Adam seems to be an incredible job,with an awesome mind set, picking up right where his dad and other coaches have left off there at Clovis. I can't wait to see Clovis, Selma, Poway, Buchanan and maybe one or two other teams battle it out for the title this coming year.
