Not there to be your friend, he is there to get you better. Super knowledgeable, brought on two really great new coaches this year, and a super recruiter. Consistently brings in talent year after year that are able to make the grades at Duke too.

Coach Lanham (and the coaching staff) preach "being a good person" above being a good wrestler, they do not practice what they preach. They were very difficult to communicate with and resorted to shouting angrily, often. To summarize, I felt extremely used by the program by the time I had finished. Many of my teammates felt the exact same way.

Extraordinarily passionate; willing to sacrifice for his athletes. Some athletes tiptoe around him because he can be intimidating, but the key to a good relationship is to stand by your affirmations. Understands what it takes to succeed at the highest level, and can mold even moderately talented individuals into great wrestlers.
