Episode 29: Resurrection w/ Coach Rob Ehsan
from The Bottom Line by Ben Rogers Hosted by Benjamin Rogers
Former head basketball coach at the University of Alabama-Birmingham (UAB) Rob Ehsan was fired right after the Conference-USA Tournament was cancelled in March 2020. One of the youngest head coaches in Division 1, Coach Ehsan faced one of his largest fears early in his career on that Friday the 13th. A time in which most undisciplined leaders would pack it in and get comfortable on the benches of mediocrity, Coach Ehsan realized that there is, in fact, resurrection after death. Rob Ehsan – the head basketball coach at UAB – had died; it was time to “let go of the envy, fantasy, the cancerous restlessness.” It was during a multiple-month vacation with his family where Coach Ehsan realized the power of discipline and consistency in his daily habits. A loving husband and a devoted father of three children, listen to Coach Ehsan speak about his journey and how he prioritizes being present with his family despite the demands of his profession. Today, Rob Ehsan serves as an analyst for the Pac-12 Network but don’t be surprised when you see him back in action as a head basketball coach. After all, death is always followed by resurrection.
