Laura Hertel, coordinator of student services, School of Natural Resources, is shown on the video screen as part of her "rock star" turn as Honorary Coach for the MU men's basketball game Feb. 21. Also this year, Patrick Patterson, academic advisor for parks, recreation and tourism, has served as Honorary Coach for women's basketball; Laura Denker, CAFNR coordinator of student services, for volleyball; and Lance Hatfield, assistant teaching professor of food science, for men's basketball. Leslie Jett, assistant teaching professor of food science, also served as an Honorary Coach for men's basketball and said the entire bench got to play when he coached, since the Tigers were winning by so much! The Total Person Program sponsors this unique program on campus; Honorary Coaching is by invitation only and includes a tour, reception, tickets and recognition at the game. The intent of the program is to give faculty/staff the chance to learn more about athletics at MU.
