Jeremy Linne will be a Wake Forest Assistant Coach for the ACI 7sThe Wake Forest men's rugby team has secured the services of UNC-Greensboro men's rugby head coach Jeremy Linne to serve as an assistant coach for the Atlantic Coast Invitational 7s Tournament in Greensboro on September 11-12, 2010. Linne has both an impressive playing and coaching resume. He was a perrenial all-star scrumhalf at the University of Tennesse, and then played for the Super League's Chicago Lions after graduation. Linne has been head coach at UNC-G for two years, and in that short time has taken the team from a mediocre Division 3 team to an impressive team that will be challenging for the Division 2 Carolinas Rugby League title next spring. Linne also served as assistant coach for the North Carolina Rugby Union men's collegiate All-Star program last fall and will take over the reins as head coach of the program with the departure of Andy Richards.
Said Wake Forest head coach Patrick Kane of the decision to bring on Linne, "I expect that our side for the ACI 7s will be very young and we will have only a small window of time to get the team ready for the tournament. Jeremy's expertise therefore will be sorely needed during the run-up to the tourney and I was thrilled when he agreed to come on and assist. The success that UNC-G has had under Linne is a testament to his ability to organize, teach, and motivate and our players will grow under his tutelage, even during the short period that he is working with them."
The Atlantic Coast Invitational 7s is a tournament for men's rugby teams from the schools that comprise the Atlantic Coast Conference. It will take place on September 11-12 at McPherson Stadium in Greensboro, NC. For more information, vist www.acirugby.com.
