Loc Vetter coached United States college rugby for 22 years, two seasons a year, so 40+ seasons. Ended up with a lot of little learnings that should be shared with current or aspiring coaches, and with current or aspiring players, their families and friends.
The very essence of graded college learning is done alone. The problems of the world that need solving will require a team approach. Rugby is inescapably, inherently, quintessentially a team experience.

Loc Vetter, Rugby Coach.Loc was introduced to Rugby at UCLA in 1969. Dennis Storer, of the first US national team, was the coach. Got his BA in Physical Education, MS in Kinesiology, and MD - all from UCLA. His jobs had all been teaching: Water skiing, swimming, SCUBA diving. He enjoyed teaching.Kenny Ames, a freshman at Loyola College, called and said, "Loc, you're fat, come have a run with us." So, he started coaching, in 1979, both at the college and a new club in town, Baltimore County. To get better he:¿Took all three levels of USAFU Coaching, (in the 80's) then all three levels of the RIU program, with Jim Greenwood, and Coaching Development with Eddie O'Sullivan¿Toured with the Junior Eagles, as the doc and listener, then ¿Coached the Southern California Collegiates ¿Worked with the All Americans under Jack Clark ¿Organized some clinics ¿Toured as doc with Grizzlies to South AfricäNew Zealand, to the Most Promising Young Players CampHe returned home to San Diego. Helped Steve Gray, at San Diego State, a National Championship, and a 113-12-1 record. At USD he started from an unknown record, through an 0-8-1 year, to undefeated Southern California League Championship. Coached at Navy Men, under Mike Flannigan, then the Navy Women's program, and with them had three national final four appearances. He believes the most important thing in coaching is solitary contemplation of what happened and what needs to happen: Fundamental skills done well, with some "Lama Lama."
