For more than 30 years, the game-day image was Norm Chow in the coaches’ booth, charts spread in front, as he checked coverages and called plays. That was until last year, when he called plays from the sidelines as the Warriors’ head coach. Chow will always have the final say in offensive plays.

There is space because three recruits are expected to grayshirt and quarterback Aaron Zwahlen is going on a two-year church mission. * * * * * The Warriors still remain in the hunt for […]
