Donald Minnegan (1902-2002), more commonly known by his nickname ''Doc'', is a former coach and athletic director at Towson University. He coached two championship soccer teams at Towson. ==Career== Minnegan received his teaching degree at a teachers college in Illinois in 1923 and graduated in 1927 from Springfield YMCA College. He came to the Maryland State Normal School in 1927 as the men's soccer coach, but was also the athletic director and coach for baseball, track, and basketball. He was instrumental in developing Baltimore County's recreation program. Minnegan coached through one name change (Maryland State Normal School became Maryland State Teachers College) and two presidents (Lida Lee Tall and M. Theresa Wiedefeld) until 1941, when World War II began. Even though the war shipped off most of his team, he still found ways to coach them while overseas. Because of this, the U.S. State Department and U.S. Army recognized his ''"strong philosophy toward physical fitness and his proven expertise in the field"'' and sent him to Europe to establish a physical fitness program, with an emphasis on soccer, for American servicemen. Minnegan won 152 games during his 29-year tenure as the Tigers' coach. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Donald Minnegan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
