Ohio college football coach, inspired by Dean Smith, holds team practice at local prison
Posted Aug 24, 2015
Rob Keys has always been eager to try cutting-edge concepts. The University of Findlay football coach’s latest idea might just be the most eye-opening experience yet. On Sunday, the Oilers held a full-on two-hour practice to an audience of a few hundred inmates in the prison yard at the Marion Correctional Institute in Marion. The idea first came to Keys after UNC men’s basketball coaching legend Dean Smith died in February.
