Re: Jerry York is the best NCAA hockey coach of the last 30 years, maybe of all-time
NESN ran a video about the 2002 BC hockey team - the one after NC #2. That team was hit by massive NHL defections and an injury bug that probably would have bankrupted Romneycare. They were mediocre at best and lost to Maine in the HEA quarters.
Yet Jerry never panicked, never lost his cool, never got discouraged. The players were overmatched but never quit.
Any coach can look great with great talent. How you coach when you don't have that talent is a better marker. Coach York has had both over his career and he's still the same person who blew his first whistle 40 years ago.
