A brief acknowledgement of those we have lost.

Robert Nicholls, aka ‘Coach Nick’

When he was near retirement in the 1990s, the college estimated that Nicholls had coached 更多的 than 3,000 student athletes.

58岁的比尔·麦克曾为尼克教练效力,后来回到伯洛伊特大学,与他一起担任进攻协调员.

As an undergraduate, 尼科尔斯是威斯康辛大学拉克罗斯分校的全联盟四分卫, where he also played 篮球. 然而, 他说,游泳是他最喜欢当教练的运动,因为他一开始的经验最少. “I really had to work at it,” he once said.

But Mack and other alumni athletes who recall Coach Nick fondly, remember how meticulously he prepared them for games, 周一早上,他会去观察对方的球队,并发布一份比赛报告.

“Coach Nick’s record and successes as a coach were no accident. He was very well-prepared for everything he did,” Mack says. “他的控球能力很强,说他‘低调’似乎不太对,’但他是那种能够掌控局面的人, yet be fair and honest in a way that got things done. He never raised his voice.”

A Michigan native, Nicholls served in the U.S. 在第二次世界大战期间,作为一名伞兵在陆军第17空降师服役. 他在威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校获得硕士学位. 1973年,美国大学游泳教练协会授予他大师教练奖. When he retired, 贝洛伊特 established an endowed scholarship in Nicholls’ name, and he was inducted into 贝洛伊特’s Athletic Hall of Honor in 2001.

When Nicholls marked four decades of coaching at 贝洛伊特, 他反思道:“在这里执教40年意味着与学生们有40年的密切联系, 球员, 和老师. I don’t feel I gave them 40 years. I feel they gave me 40.”

Nicholls is survived by two 女儿s, including Sharon Denu, who works in 贝洛伊特’s Accounting Office, five grandchildren, and 12 great grandchildren. Memorials may be made to the Bob Nicholls Endowed Scholarship Fund.
