Tim Thomas, the former UCF assistant coach who is now a high school basketball assistant for Orlando Christian Prep, had an important stop to make after the undefeated Warriors won their Class 2A state semifinal game on Wednesday.
That chance to balance work and family was all but impossible as a major college basketball coach. It is realistic in Thomas’ role as a dean of students and coach for eight-time state champ OCP – where basketball is serious business but not the only priority.
“I appreciate the opportunity to go to my girls’ games. I can help coach their softball teams,” Thomas said this week.
