Regardless of how Boehiem was released from his coaching duties this week, he was Head Coach for 47 years. He was assistant coach before that and played in the program for four years while attended the school. There was a 3 year period between graduation and being named an assistant where he played pro ball, but all in he's been associated with the institution for all or parts of 61 years, with a direct association for 58 of those years. "...almost 60 years all in" is quite accurate.
Be that as it may, there are times to get worked up over a technicality. This really isn't one of them.
@Kolumbo should be wishing you, "Namaste.
