I'm lucky to know him, someday I might even be lucky enough to interview or hire him when he "turns pro."

A couple of things here, folks...

1. This is why Ken Patton is a hero to many. Ken, you are great!

2. If you are against adult coaches, but agree with the mentoring mission of FIRST, then I feel that you don't understand what all Ken is saying above.

3. While this case Ken is talking about has nothing to do with students I know, it has happened to students on team 45 in the past.... and it's a great thing for these students to have access to people like Ken.
