Material Detail

With a career spanning from 1950 to his retirement in 1994, the argument can be made that Edward Stanley "Ed" Temple was the greatest track and field coach of all time. He produced 40 Olympians at TSU between 1952 and 1984 (35 represented the United States, with five others competing for native countries including Panama, Jamaica, Bermuda, and Trinidad); all of them became college graduates, along with hundreds of other "TSU Tigerbelles" affiliated with his track program. They collectively won 23 Olympic medals for the U.S. (including 13 gold; 6 silver; and 4 bronze). Temple made more history as the U.S. women's track team coach for two consecutive Olympiads (Rome 1960 and Tokyo 1964) and assistant coach (1980).
