Coach was written by Emmy-winning sportscaster Dick Enberg, a colleague of McGuire. McGuire, former athlete and coach, led Marquette University's basketball team to the NCAA Championship in 1977. He became a sportscaster for CBS and NBC, where he and Enberg were partners on-air for 10 years. Although McGuire died of leukemia in 2001, Enberg says all of the play's material came from him. "Coach was the most unforgettable character I've ever met," said Enberg. "There's no one in second place.
This one-man show will star Cotter Smith as McGuire. Smith has acted in movies, television and stage including series such as "Without a Trace" and "NCIS." A recorded introduction by Enberg will be shown before the performance.
