• Bill Faxon Interview with Lou Giani January 2006 - Just heard about Lou Giani's passing. I don't want to overstate my relationship with him, but I had the opportunity to chat wrestling with Lou on a few occasions courtesy of my Huntington friends like Tom Giaramita and Timmy Hawkrigg. Anyway, for those of you who didn't know Coach Giani I wanted to share this interview that I did with him for the LIWA over a decade ago. It gives you some really good insight to who he was, why he loved wrestling and what he valued. The parts that impressed me the most where how much joy he got out of seeing his former wrestlers go on to become successful coaches ( he was beaming when I mentioned Picozzi) and how he resisted the urge to talk about "kids these days" and in fact went the opposite route. And yes, the Jon Jones he is talking about IS that Jon Jones but back before anyone of us know what he would become.
I hope you enjoy the interview with Coach and if you didn't know him I hope it gives you a little insight into him and what he meant to our LI wrestling community. Condolences to his family and friends.
