His players affectionately called him \u201cThe Old Man.\u201d And he treated them like family\u2014one that stretched into the hundreds. \u201cThat’s why all of his boys were sons-in-law,\u201d said Gary Figueroa<\/strong>, who really was a son-in law.<\/p>\n

The \u201che\u201d in question is legendary University of California at Irvine Head Coach Edward \u201cTed\u201d Newland<\/strong>, who last week passed away at the age of 91.<\/p>\n

When he retired in 2005 Newland owned the record for most victories (714) in NCAA varsity water polo history; that\u2019s what happens if you\u2019re good, and stay with one program for 39 years. And stay at Irvine Newland did, leading them to three NCAA titles\u2014and six second place finishes too, many at the hands of Pete Cutino<\/strong>-helmed teams from Cal.<\/p>\n

He coached in the golden age of U.S. polo\u2014when Team USA won back-to-back Olympic silver medals in 1984 and 1988\u2014and competed against some of the best water polo coaches America ever produced\u2014Cutino, Bob Horn<\/strong> at UCLA, Pete Snyder<\/strong> at University of California-Santa Barbara and Dante Dettamanti<\/strong> at Stanford. Of that august quartet, only Snyder, whose program collected an NCAA title in 1979\u2014the Gaucho men\u2019s sole championship\u2014could appreciate the hurdles that a public university with a relatively small athletic budget had to overcome in sustaining a sport as demanding as water polo.<\/p>\n

But the Old Man was not one to be deterred by obstacles. In fact, he relished challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cWork begets its own talent,\u201d Jim<\/strong> Kruse<\/strong>, who played for Newland in the early 70s, said by phone. \u201cHe was all about a work ethic, and felt that people could really accomplish anything they wanted\u2014if they were willing to put in the work.\u201d<\/p>\n

An All-American who won a title in 1970, when the Anteaters beat the mighty Bruins of UCLA in sudden-death overtime, Kruse said his former coach believed: \u201cThe strong take from the weak, the smart take from the dumb\u2014but the strong and the smart take from everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

But it wasn\u2019t all about competition; life was to be enjoyed. According to Kruse, the Old Man was fond of saying: \u201cThere are five things I really enjoy doing, and I make sure I do four of them every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

And, by all accounts, Newland did enjoy life, especially the water polo part.<\/p>\n

A firm believer that effort is the difference between winning and losing, he made damn sure his players were as well prepared as possible. But, he didn\u2019t ask more of them than he asked of himself. If the team was scheduled to lift weights early, their coach arrived an hour before them. According to Kruse, Coach would do two or three thousand sit-ups before his players arrived for a 5 a.m. workout.<\/p>\n

Figueroa, who had the gumption to marry the coach’s daughter Margaret, said the Newland philosophy was crystal clear: work harder than the next guy.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnybody from that era would agree: UCI outworked everybody,\u201d said Figueroa, whose Anteater teams failed to overcome Cal in national championship matches in 1974, \u201975 and \u201977. \u201cI think they changed all the NCAA rules, restricting how much time you could put in because of Newland and probably Bobby Knight<\/strong>\u2014these guys just outworked everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n

But it was not sheer punishment; the master strategist had a purpose sustaining his mania.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat was unique about Newland is, we accepted the work, so there had to be love there. If you\u2019re punishing people by outworking others, it doesn\u2019t work,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was positivity along with a commitment, that if this guy will outwork us, we will outwork the opponent,\u201d added Figueroa, the Most Outstanding Player of the 1977 tournament who earned perhaps the Old Man\u2019s highest accolade: admittance into the Newland clan. The other man so gifted? Kevin Robertson<\/strong>, a chief antagonist from Cal who married Tricia Newland<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis two daughters\u2014both beautiful and athletic\u2014married two of the finest players the United States have ever had: Gary Figueroa and Kevin Robertson.\u201d Kruse said. \u201cThey were both Olympians and very good ones.\u201d<\/p>\n

Figueroa is a member of a unique fraternity of Anteaters: 12 men who played for the Old Man and represented their country at the Olympics. The sport\u2019s highest distinction, \u201cOlympian\u201d is recognition of effort and ambition\u2014and, in this case, Newland\u2014who drove those men, and many others, to success in the pool and out.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe believed he could shape and mold players,\u201d said Kruse who has gone on to a successful career in real estate development. \u201cHe loved taking guys and making them into something. And that didn\u2019t stop at the pool deck. He loved putting guys into medical school, into the business world, into education. He was the consummate educator.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an ironic twist, this week USA Water Polo announced<\/a> that two of his former athletes\u2014Ryan Bailey<\/strong> and Jeff Powers<\/strong>\u2014were elected to the USAWP Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n

Not that he would have been hung up on this. According to Dettamanti, the former Stanford coach whose teams split two championship matches with Newland\u2019s Anteaters, the legendary coach: \u201cdid things his way! He never minced words; he always told the truth\u2014whether you liked it or not.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking from travels in Ecuador, Dettamanti, who as a young coach first encountered the imposing Newland in 1973 while coaching UCSB, said it was a thrill to be mentioned on the same page as Cutino, Horn and Newland\u2014the \u201cBig Three\u201d who from 1969 to 1976 rotated ownership of NCAA men\u2019s hardware.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose were three guys I always admired,\u201d said Dettamanti\u2014\u201cKid,\u201d to the Old Man. \u201cI knew I had finally arrived as a coach when in the \u201973 championships, I looked in the program and there\u2019s Newland\u2019s name, Cutino\u2019s name and Horn\u2019s name\u2014and Dettamanti, coach of UC Santa Barbara.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking about their encounters, in 1982 UCI completed an undefeated season (30-0) at Stanford\u2019s expense, after a perfect Cardinal campaign in 1981. The finals, a 7-4 win by the Anteaters, contained its own twist: both current Stanford water polo coaches were in the pool that day. John Vargas<\/strong>, now the school\u2019s head men\u2019s coach, played for Newland, while John Tanner<\/strong>, who leads the Stanford\u2019s women, played for the Cardinal.<\/p>\n

The 1985 final was a different story. In a match that Dettamanti\u2014who won eight titles at Stanford\u2014called the most memorable of his career, after a back-and-forth affair, the Anteaters scored with 13 seconds left to go ahead. The Cardinal were down a goal and out of time-outs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe went down the pool and Matt Tingler<\/strong>\u2014the smallest guy on our team\u2014threw a lob shot that went over the goalie\u2019s head to tie the game. Then we won it in overtime,\u201d Dettamanti said of his team\u2019s 12-11 victory.<\/p>\n

There was another UCI title in 1989, then a shift in the sport, as success at Stanford, Cal, UCLA and USC crowded out everyone else, including the Anteaters. But that didn\u2019t change the Old Man; in fact, nothing ever did.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was unique; I don\u2019t think there\u2019s ever been anybody like Newland,\u201d the ex-Cardinal coach said.<\/p>\n

And\u2014likely\u2014there never will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
