Herb Page walked into the Kent State Leadership Center on Thursday surrounded by family, friends and administrators. As Page approached the podium, a quiet hush came over the room with every step. Everyone knew the reason for his press conference.
Page was retiring after 41 seasons as head coach of the golf team. He secured 21 Mid-American Conference titles in his career, while winning the MAC coach of the year 24 times. He also has 18 NCAA Championship tournament appearances.
“(The decision) was an epiphany when I was driving from Calgary to Medicine Hat Alberta,” Page said.
