You are absolutely right sparman. You're not going to be getting the national team Europeans, Brits, Aussies, Canadians, et al a position as a midshipman at Annapolis.

My point is you are not going to be in the finals of the U.S. university national championships, the IRA, unless the majority of your boatings are international. Steve Gladstone, of all people (he began the modern trend of international recruiting while at Brown), would know this, so, curious why he took the job in the first place, and then stepped aside so soon in the second.

Author: L et V [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 10:30:33 08/12/25 Tue Spuyten: You're absolutely correct about what it takes to win on the water these days. Perhaps, Steve Gladstone chose Navy because of its associations. He certainly didn't sign on at West Point or the Air Force Academy. Even odder was his one year at Yale as an assistant coach after he broke our hearts by surrendering the throne.
