Welcome back, Gym Dog fans!
After the surprise announcement of Suzanne Yoculan former Gym Dog Courtney Kupets Carter as the new head coach of the team, most of the speculation from both Gym Dog fans and neutral observers in the college gymnastics community was that CKC would be focusing on hiring assistants that had a significant amount of college coaching experience to help fill in the “weak spots” in her resume.
Rumors swirled with several relatively big names that would fit that bill, with the biggest names being UCLA’s Chris Waller and the coaching team from small-program-national-champion Texas Woman’s University of Garrett Griffeth and Courtney McCool-Griffeth (another former Gym Dog).
