Coach Wackar reminisces about campus life wtih an adoring audience of friends and family who eagerly offer a standing ovation to the man who still looms large in their hearts and minds.

In Wackar's 32-year career he coaches basketball, football, golf and cross-country, leading all four sports to conference wins—the only coach to ever do so in the New Jersey Athletic Conference. The beloved coach and mentor also helped create an undergraduate major and graduate program in health and physical education, in which he also taught.
