It appears as if Lindenwood University decided that a bit of military-style discipline is exactly what its powerhouse shotgun program needs.
The small, private school from from St. Joseph, Mo. (near St. Louis) has won five straight intercollegiate national championships, but the program was on the brink of extinction this spring after a couple of incidents involving alcohol that led to the firing of head coach Joe Steenbergen and assistant Don Rayfield, and the expulsion of star shooter Travis Mears. Shortly thereafter, university officials determined that the program could return to competition this fall, and the search for a new coach got under way.
That search resulted in the hiring of Shawn Dulohery as the new head coach last week. The 43-year-old native of Missouri, a former Olympian in skeet, has spent the past 19 years as a member of the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit at Fort Benning, Ga.
