3. my 'phews were lucky to run into a guy like that.
fair, a great teacher, caring, and (surprise!) a muslim foreigner. Considering that they live in the reddest part of the state, (folks cut their hair short to get that extra stripe of red on their necks) the idea of allowing the kids play for a "Muslim" was amazing. There were a few church goers who complained and took their kids out of the program. But, if a parent spent 10 minutes watching, and 5 minutes talking (or listening) they came away convinced that this coach was the cat's meow of trainers and educators. Along the lines of who you described.

The locals also did a study of grades and sports. Kids who played for this guy had a half a grade higher GPA than those who didn't. Statistically, that is huge.
