Tabor College football coaches have come and gone with regular frequency. In most cases, the head coach left with a gentle shove after a brief stay. There have only been a few cases where the head coach decided to leave on his own to advance his career.
The history of TC basketball is just the opposite. Yes, there have been times when a head coach was asked to leave, but more often than not, the men’s and women’s basketball programs have been models of consistency.
Even if it is not box office material, it still would make an interesting storyline for prime time.
Start with a high school principal who last coached basketball at the collegiate level 15 years ago. The principal is asked to dust off his coaching resume and take on additional duties as varsity girls’ coach.
The principal/former coach somewhat hesitantly accepts the assignment and leads the team to a state basketball championship.
Everybody can probably think of a time during a sporting event when nature called and they needed to relieve themselves at a most inopportune time.
Although I’ve never seen a sports column on this subject, that won’t stop me from going where no man or woman has gone before. Even if you think this column is going down the toilet, please read on.
