That’s the sad part. He deserved to retire and enjoy the rest of his life, but unfortunately his condition didn’t allow that.
Absolutely. But then, if he hadn't had his condition, who knows, he might still be coaching. It's too bad he won't be able to watch his former pupil build the program.
Rande will always have a major place in Pitt athletics history. His whole professional life was dedicated to Pitt. It's just too bad that because wrestling isn't as high profile as some other sports that many people won't realize what Pitt just lost.
