Greg Dunigan did, but there he was hard at work on Parker’s sideline Thursday at the Waiakea-Keaau boys basketball tournament at the Warriors’ gym, vocally exhorting his team to move the ball on offense, block out and close out on defense.

He looked like a coach and sounded like a teacher.
“That’ll come and go,” he said afterward of being vocal.
