Our Fencing coaching situation is interesting. Matteo Zennaro, who was hired from Harvard in early August to be associate head coach, is now listed as Interim Head Coach and Adam Kaszubowski, who was heading into his second year as Interim Head Coach, has disappeared from the roster and the ICA staff directory completely. There are no assistant coaches currently listed for a team with 48 student-athletes on the combined M&W roster. Is Zennaro coaching all three weapons and the entire team by himself?
Penn State searched for a Fencing head coach last spring but ended up giving the Interim title to Kaszubowski for a second year. Kaszubowski's second Interim appointment was buried in a single sentence in the ICA press release announcing Zennaro's hiring.
Will Zennaro be awarded the HC job on a permanent basis in April or will Kraft and team conduct another national search once the current season is complete in late March?
Kaszubowski was first named Interim Head Coach in September 2022 when ICA announced HC Wes Glon had been suspended by ICA, which ended up being for the entire 2022-23 season. Glon, who had an impressive PSU coaching career, had been implicated in two controversies, the first around allegedly suppressing a report of sexual harassment against an assistant coach and the second involving a complaint of verbal and emotional abuse from a female student-athlete. ICA announced Glon's retirement last April. Glon was of retirement age, but was it Glon's choice?
