John Effner's full wrestler record, every bout →
Coach and wrestler matched from Jack Effner (2011) - Hall of Fame - Indiana State University Athletics, Indiana State University Athletics (Hall of Fame induction profile of Jack Effner (class of 2011, inducted Oct. 13, 2011): three consecutive body paragraphs, from 'He competed in the NCAA Championships three times' through 'before taking over as the head coach.' The same profile's earlier paragraphs say he 'competed for Indiana State from 1982 to 1986', and its later paragraphs give 'nine campaigns at Army' and 'head coach at Cleveland State in May 1998'.).
How these are counted
- NCAA tournaments are the championship years in which Jack Effner was the established head coach of a team with entrants. They are not years of employment; there were no championships in 1943–45 or 2020.
- A year inside the span with no established coach is listed but not counted. A year with two head coaches counts in full for both.
- Team titles are official NCAA titles from the published standings (1928, 1931 and 1933 have none). Top four and top ten come from the same standings.
- Entries count each wrestler once per tournament; All-Americans are counted as each era awarded them; wins and losses include forfeit, default and disqualification results; falls exclude forfeits.
- The head coach for each year, with sources, is on that year's program page. Report a correction.
