His reponse made it clear that his taking over wasn't a done deal but that he felt he was the number one contender. If you are interested in the position, he's certainly the man to beat. | |

| And honestly, who would want to compete against a former Argentinian National Coach?

| Marcos Lucchietti
Marcos has been working the Princeton team for some time now.
I would be surprised if that were to stop soon.
He has become involved in the local fencing scene, I see him frequently at the local facility where he gives lessons to local fencers.
He does have a website up for Lucchetti Fencing with operations in Princeton and listing himself as current Princeton coach. http://www.lucchettifencing.com/index.html
Overall I am impressed with the man, nice demeanor, seems like a great coach (I have not yet taken any lessons from him, but I do get to watch some of the process) and an all around nice guy.
