Tommy Chesbro (October 28, 1939 – September 1, 2006) was an Oklahoma State University all-star wrestler and coach. As coach he led the Oklahoma state wrestling team to the NCAA Wrestling Team Championship on at least one occasion. In his 15 years as OSU’s coach, he earned a national reputation as a matchless technician, whose teams won 227 dual meets with only 26 defeats, a 90 per cent winning record. During those years, he coached 20 individual NCAA champions and 20 National AAU and USA Wrestling winners. In 1995, he was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.
