Teacher and Coach

Doug Bolstorff retired in 2000 after 43 very successful years at Macalester as coach, teacher and friend, and as one of the most honorable and respectable figures ever in Minnesota collegiate sports.

A former NBA player and University of Minnesota standout, Doug coached basketball in parts of four decades at Macalester and led some excellent NAIA playoff teams in the 70’s. His Macalester track and field and cross country teams were conference and national powerhouses and combined to win 19 MIAC championships. At one point in the late 60’s Coach Bolstorff’s track team had won the last 11 MIAC track championships while his cross country team had won eight of the last nine titles. Doug also coached the baseball team in his early years at Macalester and for his final several years was the Mac men’s golf coach. Since arriving on the Macalester campus in 1957, Coach Bolstorff has touched the lives of so many students in a very significant way.
