sorry to hear about the passing of coach Pollock. I didn't know him personally however I did have the pleasure of meeting him a few times. I do however know his son John who pitched at The Citadel and I want to extend my thoughts and prayers to John and the rest of the Pollock family.

The indoor track complex should be named for him

I don't know if it's what they had in mind all along, but I can't help but think that there's a particular reason the indoor track and field building doesn't have a dedication name yet... and I don't think it's money.

Coach Pollock practically built that building with his own two hands considering the success that he brought to the program. There was a joke going around after it was constructed that Coach Bowden had asked to use it for football practice on a rainy day, to which Coach Pollock replied "win a conference title they'll build you one of your own!"

It would be more than fitting to name it after him.

I never got to meet Coach Bob Pollack, but knew what he stood for, was doing and accomplishing with his Clemson track teams over all these long years. He had to be a fantastic man, teacher and coach for his teams to have won so many ACC, regional & national titles. Thank you Coach...job well done....and GOD Bless You.

It was loss enough to no longer get his newsletter after he retired, now, the loss is complete. Bob was a good friend. His stewardship of the track program was incomparable. He made an effort to include old track alums like me. I second the proposition made by a previous poster that the indoor facility be named in his honor. My sincere sympathy is extended to his family for their loss.
