Wright, Stan
▪ 1999

      American track coach who served the sport for some 40 years, a number of them with the U.S. Olympic Committee and USA Track & Field, but was better remembered as the Olympic assistant coach who took responsibility for the disqualification of two sprinters in the 1972 Olympics when lack of notification of schedule changes caused them to be too late to run their races (b. Aug. 11, 1920, Englewood, N.J.—d. Nov. 6, 1998, Houston, Texas).
