blueandgold Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 As we approach the postseason, I’m curious to know what coaches and/or programs have made the most finals appearances at the IHSAA State tournament without a single victory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Fishback took Rochester off this list at Westfield's expense in 2022. Had 3 runner ups until. Platanov came closest most recently for Westfield, losing in OT-2.

The document I went off of was incorrect. “Mac” was and still is(coaching in Florida) a great coach, mentor and ambassador for Indiana wrestling. It’s unfortunate that myself and the others couldn’t deliver him a state champion. He definitely deserved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
