Goldeneagles09 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Got a chance to know Coach Fink while playing with the girls scout team while I went to school. He is not only a great coach but also a phenomenal human being. ORU is lucky to have a guy of his character in our athletic department.
