  • throwing it out there who was coaching you? it doesn't say in the video.

  • The New Providence coaching staff consisted of Phil Esposito (varsity), Bob Auble (jv), and Vic Bucossi (freshman).

    As a side note, Bob Auble is Dave Auble's younger brother. Dave was a 2x NCAA champ and 2x Olympian.

  • Your Rich from this video? If so, pretty cool.

    Check out Supplement Healthcare on Youtube, you'll se Mike in a couple of their video's or on their website.

  • Yes, I'm the same Rich from the video. I also checked out the videos showing the current day Mike.

  • Mike was a tough wrestler from a great wrestling family. In HS, he placed 3rd, 2nd, and 4th in the states. In college, he made the division 3 finals 4x (winning it his final year) and decisioned me twice - something like 7-3 or 7-4 both times.

    As for jumping around, I guess that was his thing. I was the type that would just walk on the mat and possibly get into my crouching position (which I believe I did before the state final match). Everyone is different.

  • i have the 1977 nj state finals on dvd.. parker, major and weidenbush 3 state champs in one yr. from the same school

  • Jeff Parker was great. I have the clip of Parker's 1976 final with Kanach. Do you want to see it?

  • @MightyMite122 mikes briother kevin beat my teammate in 1980, dana whitehouse in states

  • Mike is better then this, props to the kid that beat him.

    Mike's done pretty good for himself though, 3 time All American at Trenton State and one 1 or 2 Div. 3 titles. He's now the CEO of Supplemental Healthcare.

  • Jacoutot had an entitlement problem, he thought because he had been to state previously he'd just walk out and be given his state championship against this guy Billitz, Jacoutot > dancing around before the match, BUT those of us who KNEW Rich Billitz, > freak of nature, skinny but amazingly strong, lighting quick, 4 X district champ but he always choked at regionals, Rich should have been a 2 -3 time state champ, Billitz at his best, Jacoutot nor anyone else in NJ had a chance.
