Bill Dotson, the longtime head wrestling coach at the University of New Mexico before the program was cut by the school in 1999, has died.
Dotson, 81, died late Saturday afternoon of heart failure in Albuquerque, said his oldest son Charlie.
“He not only was a good man and liked to laugh, he was also a lucky man,” said Charlie Dotson, the oldest of four siblings and Eldorado High’s head football coach.
