Toby DeWolf, who has owned Bert & Ernie’s downtown restaurant and hosted Carroll coaches for lunch for years, said he knew by 10 a.m. He received a phone call from a good friend with the news.
“I think it’s fantastic,” DeWolf said from behind the bar of his establishment. “He’s not only a coach at Carroll, he’s also an amazing community supporter and a great citizen of Helena.”
Frank Clinch, who graduated from Carroll in 1980, found out during lunch with DeWolf.
“Truly? Has he said that?” he asked in shock. “He’s such an integral part of this school.
“He’s done enough for Carroll that if he had gone down (to MSU) I would have been happy for him.”
Terry Harris, a season ticket holder who grew up in Helena, said he knows the coach personally. Their sons have played baseball together for years. Two of his friends called him in the morning just about one minute apart with the news.
“He’s just a nice guy, an honest guy,” Harris said of Van Diest. “He tells it like it is.”
Perhaps the first to hear the news were those right on campus.
Kim Kelley, who works with the international program at Carroll, said she found out through the office grapevine. She knows the football team has had a few foreign students play on the team, and she’s happy to have a leader like Van Diest remain at Carroll.
