I wonder if this guess warrants a little more consideration. Ward is the current head football coach at Westbury Christian school in Houston which is a small, independent Christian school that focuses on three areas of emphasis -- Spiritual, Academic, and Student Activities (sounds familiar . . .). He got out of professional coaching (NBA) after the 2007 season and accepted the job as head coach at Wesbury Christian, stating that "... his desire is to help prepare young minds for Christ."
Interesting . . .
