Yes the position was listed in the NCAA News, NSCAA and SA. I heard they had 85 applications. The position is a dual position as Discoveries DOC and GK Coach at Winthrop. This is needed to make it a full time position, plus it is easier to get a quality DOC if he also has the opportunith to coach at the college level. This has been a very healthy relationship for both Winthrop and Discoveries. There is a fee paid to Winthrop for use of fields (Under construction) very nice office, phone, computer, club meeting space, etc. The club also has the consulting of the Winthrop coaching staff whenever needed. Also many of the coaches are Winthrop graduates who have played at the Div. I level for four years. Only coaches recommended by the Withrop coaches are selected. So this is win-win situation for everyone.
The new Doc is from Creighton University, who was their captain and played in two final fours and a national championship. Very well quilified as was the last four DOC's Discoveries has had.
