Coaching career
College of Emporia
Botsford was the first head coach at the College of Emporia in Emporia, Kansas. He held the post for the 1901 season only[1] and posted a record of 4–3. The school played 11 seasons without an official coach before Botsford was hired.[2]
Kansas State Normal
After one year at College of Emporia, Botsford moved across town to become the third head coach at Kansas State Normal School—now known as Emporia State University. He held that position for two seasons, from 1902 until 1903. His coaching record at Kansas State Normal was 7–10–3.[3]
gollark: Oh, and he is apparently entirely incapable of generalization or remembering things from more than 15 seconds ago.
gollark: He doesn't understand some things, which is fine I guess, but he also doesn't seem to understand the things he needs to understand to understand those things either, and seems to think he's done with things when the arbitrary computer marking thing™ says so even when it's repeatedly blatantly wrong, and wants me to just give him answers so he'll apparently learn from them.
gollark: Trying to explain "algebraic proof" to Zachary is so intensely frustrating.
gollark: I don't think that's right either.
gollark: Really?
