Wrestling coach’s sexual assault comments lead to controversy

by Nick Latman

Take a moment to think about the sports at Carolina you associate with controversy.

Football? Okay. Basketball? Understandable. What about wrestling? Head coach C.D. Mock has caused a stir on campus.

He is a Carolina alum. A former student athlete and an NCAA champion.  But when his son, a successful wrestler at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga, was accused of sexual assault last year, Mock felt that the accusation was false. So he decided to speak out on the way Chattanooga handled the situation.
