USTFCCCA Hall of Fame Coach Billy Maxwell Passes Away

Coaching legend Billy Maxwell passed away on Monday morning.

Maxwell was inducted into the USTFCCCA Coaches Hall of Fame in 2015 following a remarkable career that included stops at Texas, LSU, Tennessee and Nebraska. For more than 50 years, Maxwell led all of those programs to great heights. Maxwell-coached athletes won 28 NCAA individual titles and more than 350 All-America honors during that time.

Fellow USTFCCCA Hall of Fame inductee and former Nebraska head coach Gary Pepin remembers Maxwell as a “hard-nosed coach who had a heart of gold, who absolutely loved the kids that he coached.  He was a tremendous member of our staff and lots of the success that our program had throughout his time here can be contributed to the success of the areas in which Coach Maxwell worked with.”
