With both of them being presidents of their Greek houses, it makes sense that these two know each other. Of course, Coach considers her a friend, even if she doesn't feel the same, though... he's pretty sure she considers him a friend. That being said, Coach also loves competing with Anna to throw the best events, the best parties, the best anything! There's no animosity, but Coach can get a little carried away in trying to better her. During those times, he usually loses out. He's no stranger to conceding to Anna as the number one party thrower on campus. But, she also cares deeply for her sisters and Coach respects her 100% for that. He cares about his brothers about just as much and loves to see other presidents see their charges the same way.

A ᴠ ᴇ ʀ ʏ . B ᴀ ʀ ɴ ᴇ s || "You every look at someone and think they could effortlessly suplex you into the concrete?"
It's not even that Avery looks like she has the raw strength, she simply looks like her confidence is enough to give her the adrenaline boost to drop kick 200 pounds of solid muscle across a football field. For that, Coach respects her. Of course, he doesn't know her very well, she's very much the type of person that he'd admire. Her attitude is genuine and candid, at least to Coach, and he appreciates the level of self-assurance she has. Of course, he's still on a "Hey, sup," kind of basis with her and hasn't really gotten to know her past seeing her at parties or what people say of her.

It seems like a lot of ladies in the Omega Psi Phi have a certain... air about them. They're all go-getters, or at least most of them are. That's something Coach can respect, but a few he can almost classify as up-tight. Rosalinda would be one of those individuals if he didn't want to get a boot shoved up his ass. Even so, he understands the girl has a drive and a focus that's not really comparable. Still, he doesn't know her much beyond that and any incidents running into her.

C ʜ ᴏ ᴜ ᴀ . V ᴀ ɴ ɢ || "Don't talk to her much. She seems super chill, though."
Coach hasn't always been one for really listening to music. He's often too busy with his studies or too busy working out to really notice beyond the simple and catchy tunes he listens to. So, he and Choua don't typically mesh. Not that they're opposites, just that they don't have much in common and don't really have any other grounds to start conversation beyond, "Hey, hello. What's up?"

Inconspicuous gigglingIf Ashley's anything more than just a friend... then she's Coach's dealer. He doesn't like doing any hard drugs, he just likes the feel of being high and chill. Weed does that for him. She's tried to push Xanax on him, but he'd rather just keep himself to the good kush and maybe some beers. Other than that, if he needs someone to liven up a party, well... he's got her in his contacts as [Party Gurl Twenty-Kushteen]. We also watch Rupual's together, preferably as high as a kite.

D ɪ ᴠ ɪ ɴ ᴇ . H ᴏ ᴡ ᴀ ʀ ᴅ || "Was gonna say something about her performance lately, but I'm pretty sure if I do she'll make me run her suicides."
As an assistant to most of the college's sports teams, Coach likes to take time out of his otherwise busy schedule to help the individuals on the team who need that little extra kick in training. It's mostly to keep them conditioned and to help hone their skills. Though he's mostly known for being an excellent baseball player, he often has a number of excellent tips and ways to train that translate to other sports. That's where his relationship with Divine comes into play. He's grown especially close to her during the time he helps her train for her basketball games. In between days she practices, he helps her and her team basically get better at basketball or at least maintain a healthy diet and keep their cardio up so they don't tire out on the basketball court. Plus, he goes to all her games and cheers her on from the sidelines... he's basically a father figure. Don't tell her that, though, that'd probably be weird. She probably already has a dad.

J ᴀ s ᴍ ɪ ɴ ᴇ . S ɪ ᴍ ᴍ ᴏ ɴ s || "Game buddy!"
Coach doesn't know much about Jasmine, other than she's Divine's best friend. The most they do together is go to her games and cheer her on. Well, he does most of the cheering, but he can't blame her. There's something about the frantic, dogmatic way people appreciate sports games that can be quite off-putting. Well, he's got enough cheer for the two of 'em.

There's been a few falling outs between his fraternity and the sorority. He doesn't question what his boys get up to, as long as it's not anything bad or serious—he's had to have a few of those misogyny talks already, this year. Of course, he tries not to get into everyone's private lives, so, he just keeps his and Sophia's conversations pertinent. They have their little competition both in the gym and out of it. He considers her a good friend, either way.

Well, what's there not to like about Dash? Haha. You gotta have some kind of self-confidence. As Ashley tells him, or rather forces him to repeat after RuPaul: "If you can't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love anybody else... can I get an amen?" Something like that.

D ᴀ ɴ ᴛ ᴇ . M ᴏ s s ᴏ s || "Hm, Dante? I let him do what he wants to. He seems detached from the politics surrounding our house and a bit more concerned about... other things. But, he's a brother and I got his back when he needs me."
The only one out of the bunch that Coach actually considers a brother. He even jokingly calls him Uncle Dante. Of course, he does his best to let Dante do what he wants, but he kind of makes a bit of a mess sometimes. Usually only in the form of brokenhearted ladies. Love 'em and leave 'em, Coach supposes. But, he's typically there to help out the brokenhearted party. Still, Dante's the vice-president and he respects him whenever he decides to input his own opinions in meetings or events. He understands that the dramatic Greek culture isn't for everyone, but Coach does his best to exemplify good morals and high standards when it comes to his boys. He just hopes they all feel the same way, Dante included.

C ᴏ ʀ ɴ ᴇ ʟ ɪ ᴜ s . J ᴏ ʜ ɴ s ᴏ ɴ || "Cool kid. I try to steer him in the right direction sometimes, but I think Cornelius knows what he wants and how to get it. I think of him as the life of the party, or at least the life of socialization. He's good to shoot the shit with."
Everyone in the house is a brother to him and he may or may not push that to its limit. For Cornelius, he kind of tries to influence him a little too much and might breathe down his neck a little too hard. What can he say? He's just really excited about what his kids--uh, er... BROTHERS get up to. Cornelius is not the exception, in fact Coach might have a bit of an issue with hovering over him during parties. Not to be overbearing or strict, but... just to be overbearing. In a positive way!

There's a surface over a surface, but... daddy's got him. Whatchu mean I shouldn't refer to myself as daddy? I'M THE DADDY OF THIS HOUSEHOLD. THESE ARE MY CHILDREN."
Out of everyone in the fraternity, Mikey's kind of the one he sees most as a pseudo-son, to him. The minute he was initiated, Coach took the kid under his wing and is happy to show him around, teach him the basics, and generally be there for him. He might... take that fatherly role a little too seriously. But, most importantly, they've had some eye-opening talks lately and Coach feels like he's getting to Mikey, little-by-little.

There seems to be a recurring theme between his boys. Either they're party-goers or wallflowers. Isaiah happens to be the latter and an oft gloomy one, at that. Still, Coach considers him one of the boys and treats him just the same, even if Isaiah happens to hate everything about... everything and everyone. If there's anyone that can get to him, it's Coach. At least, that's what he tells himself in the mirror every morning. It may or may not be true. It's likely not true in the slightest, but at least he'll have tried.

Coach has absolutely no idea how Archer feels about him. Like, no clue. He honestly takes it as admiration, which he isn't a stranger of. Most of the time he doesn't really peg people as anything but straight, what with living in the deep south all of his life. So, when a dude takes to him, he kinda considers it more admiration than a crush or anything more. Still, he's good friends with Archer and considers him one of his best pals in the house. He cares about the dudes he watches over.

Mariano's a cool dude, just not one that often socializes during parties. Of course, if there's anyone down to chill and just game all day, he seems to be the man. Coach respects that and he respects the guy's wishes. Which is why every Friday night is the fraternity's special game night with a rotation of certain multiplayer games to play. If there's anyone that loves competition, it's Coach, and one day he'll beat every damn one of them in every damn game they play. And what better way to do that than as an Ana one-trick.
