After 20 years as an assistant coach following time spent as an exceedingly successful NCAA and international wrestler, Sammie Henson was named the WVU wrestling coach Monday. If there’s a mold for WVU hires under Oliver Luck, this is it: Winner as a competitor, winner as an assistant, respect in the industry and time spent in the Big 12. The only thing that’s missing is a tie to the region, but there is a loose affiliation that’s actually quite a story I’m saving for tomorrow.

Most important? Henson and his wife have two dogs. One is named Nelly and one is named Biggie Smalls.
