[Editor's Comment: I want to personally congratulate Coach TJ Rosene for this significant honor. We are blessed to have a head basketball coach who sees his role as a coach as a calling, not a career. He has had many opportunities to move up to larger schools, but he believes God has called him to coach at Emmanuel. I stand at attention to salute this Christian coach.
May God bless you Coach TJ Rosene, your wife and children, your players, and Emmanuel College.]
