Well, a few things could have happened:

1. Mrs. Coach made it up to Mr. Coach and they are lovey-dovey on a miniholiday.

2. The prof showed up at the wedding and Coach went after him (I would have), and is now cooling his heals in the local jail for assult and battery.

3. Things went so-so and Coach went to his other place in Ft. Lauderdale to be alone and think.

Of course, many other things, or combinations of things, could have happened. I hope he is OK and reports in soon.


Be excellent to each other and bless God.

4-Alien invaders from Neptune (neighbouring planet of the WS's) crashed the wedding in search of decent cocktail weenies only to find out caviar and other delicatessens that are more of an acquired taste.
Enraged they kidnapped coach, who tried valiantly to scape, but was subdued with alien mind tricks and taken to their homeplanet, were their queen found him oh so charming, that she decided to make him her consort.
coach, being the gentleman that he is, declined such advances and crafted an scape plan to coincide with the "deep impact" project.
By now he must have a)escaped, landed on Earth and in route to home. b)burnt in reentry due to miscalculations. c)married queen of Neptune against his will... still he gets to be rich and have as much ice cream as he wishes so its still better than burning on reentry, don't you think?

Hi Coach,

I hope you are doing well. Although you don't owe any of us anything, your absence is seriously getting worrying. It's starting to have overtures of that whole Tireman saga from a couple of months ago. Please, at least reassure us that you're alive and kicking.

GUys,

I am just as curious to know what happen to coach as the next person, but that guy is intelligent enough to know people care and are concerned. If he wanted to let the people of MB know what was happening, he knows how to let them know. A "bump" is surely not going to make him come out from wherever he is.

Lets just hope that "it is not just a river in egypt".

I think Coach needs his space .... I agree with Lemonman ....

It is Coach's decision whether or not he ever comes back to fill us in ... or not.

I thought Coach had shared too much of the story already .... and the "storytelling" drama was taking priority over his personal wellbeing.

Personally, I thought he needed a vacation from the board.

My opinion.

Sometimes people come on here desperate for advice and nobody answers. and they fade away.
Nobody cares.
When the threads are well written and entertaining everyone gets on board and bumps all the time.

I would just like coach to put 2 words on here: I'm OK. That would be enough for me.

But of course, maybe it's easier to just forget him, after all he's just one more name on these boards, right? One more story. There are so many...

Yes, Pep, I agree with you so much about this. Anyone who says that they didn't become enthralled by Coach's uncanny ability to tell a story is lying. Yes, we all want Coach to "win here", but lets be brutally honest with why we also so want so much to hear what happened. It is like a movie that you can't get to see the last 35 minutes of. Coach himself (whether knowingly or not) set it up this way.

I think the "story" became greater than the trajedy that was telling it. When you step back and really look at things, especially how the good ole coach rationalized (not his words, but the truth as I see it) the WS actions in the end, one can't help but get profoundly sad.

In the end, that man's pain must have been (be) so excruciating. Any way you slice it (recovery, separation, divorce), there is an awful lot of pain going on in that family right now because of one woman's actions. A glorious wedding ceremony can only "mask" the inevitability of that for so long. It is quite sad. Lets not forget that point in all of this.

I am sure coach is surviving, one way or the other. He will come around in his own time. He will.

I agree ~ which is why I suggested he not come back and post to us while he was away at the wedding.

There became a little too much focus on the drama of the situation.

The focus needs to be on his marriage and his healing. He was not seeking advice. He was telling his story. I think his break is good.

And I know he will be just fine. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I echo my friend Lemon's accurate assesment. Appeasement is often the misguided answer in matters of your OWN heart.

That's precisely why doc's avoid treating family members.

Coach is one hell of a smart guy and I know he will do what is best for Coach. I just pray his time frame is long term.

I have been concerned for his health...hoping he is alive and well out there somewhere, trying to work through this one way or the other. He was under lots of stress. June 22, was the last day he posted.
