Mike Massic

Rip, I hear that Mike Massic has been given a job at the top of USA weightlifting. He was pretty disastrous for US fencing. I wonder who else was on the list?

He's the guy that tried to get my article on S&C for fencing approved by the fencing coaches as the position statement for S&C of USA Fencing. Seemed like a decent guy, but I only met him once under a narrow set of circumstances.
