John Draghi’s coaching skills at the junior college level were unsurpassed as he put tiny Long Beach City College on the gymnastics map. The former Junior College Coach of the Year and the 1991 Honor Coach Award, Draghi formed a celebrated rivalry with Jerry Todd’s Pasadena City College. Draghi’s coaching success carried over to the judges’ table, where he put together a hall-of-fame career judging local meets as well.
