  1. Coach Rice was one of the finest men I have ever known.  Everything about him was a class above.  I remember walking into a PE class as a freshman and as would be the gym was chaos with everyone running around and goofing off; when Coach Rice walked through the door all conversation stopped and we all lined up on the end line of the basketball court and listened.  I was not an athlete by any means; just a normal student trying to get through classes.  Years later when Coach Rice had just started with the Bengals he was in my row at a Highlands football game; as I started to shuffle past him he stood up and addressed me by name asking how I was and how my family was doing.  He was phenomenal in caring for his students and not just the athletes.  He helped in my learning how to take responsibility for my actions and to seek to take the higher road.  RIP Coach.
