Honorary Coaches

Business people join fun as honorary Coaches
Up to 64 basketball fans from across the KC area will experience the excitement of the 2004 Buffalo Funds NAIA Division I Mens' Basketball National Championship from an up-close-and-personal vantage point as an honorary coach. Honorary coaches will be assigned to support each team competing. They will get to know the players, sit with them on the bench during games, march in the Parade of Champions, be in the team photo, even treat them to a meal and accompany the players to practice if desired. And their company will enjoy some visibility at the same time.
