Bowerman considered himself a teacher more than a coach--the professor of the competitive response, but none of us that preceded him got it like Steve Prefontaine. Steve became the ultimate student--he redefined the word “competitor”. Bowerman and Prefontaine would become a collaborative effort that would turn Hayward Field into a magical place.

Coach Dillinger was a smart man… he invented the Nike Waffle Racers. He also made Pre the legend he became, but then again the coach doesnt make the athlete, the athlete makes themselve.

Actually, it was Coach Bowerman who pioneered the waffle sole design.  Pre was a combination of a receptive audience, a huge dose of charisma and balls and a couple of coaches who really knew what they were doing.

Coach Dellinger retired a few years ago. 

Alberto Salazar is coaching Galen Rupp.
