Joe Pantaleo was a two-time Big Ten and NCAA finalist while competing for the University of Michigan back in the 1980s. After several stints as an assistant and a jump into the “private sector,” Pantaleo joined the coaching staff at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va.
Pantaleo joins Jesse Castro’s staff and he talked with Jason Bryant and Kyle Klingman of Wrestling 411 about the move back into coaching and what called him to Liberty. He discusses what else can call people to a school like Liberty and also talks abwpout what it will be like to coach his nephew Joey on Liberty’s team.









Well that program just got tougher. Sure wish one of MI.finest would have stayed in state. Hey Joe, don’t forget your buddies in Michigan and take it easy on us.
