Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 2713056, member: 6620"] Jim Foster, 69, calls it quits after a coaching journey that started in Philadelphia, went to Nashville, then north to Columbus and finished in Chattanooga. Coached tons of players and mentored more than a few assistant coaches including those two well-known upstarts, Geno A. and Muffet M. I've included the bio and announcement from Chattanooga, but worth noting the Columbus, Ohio papers also noted his retirement. Little did they know.... A few highlights: - 49 Years of coaching. - 903 Total Wins at four schools. - Only coach in the NCAA to have all four ranked in the AP Top 25 Poll as well the AP Top 25 Preseason Poll. - One of only two coaches to have won 200 games at three different schools: St. Joe's, Vanderbilt and Ohio State - Vandy reached the Final Four once, the Elite Eight four times and advanced to the Sweet 16 three times. - Foster spent 11 seasons at Ohio State prior to Chattanooga, where the Buckeyes qualified for a school record 10 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances with three trips to the Sweet 16 and six Big Ten regular season titles.
