Coach Kouba a Top 10 professor on campus Kouba's class was my lowest grade since like middle school at the time and yet I still just have overwhelmingly fond memories of it. It wasn't even that he made calculus that interesting--because that's a losing battle I think--it's just that with his explanations I actually felt like I understood it and was comfortable to be challenged by it for the first time.
That happened to be winter quarter freshman year, and so it was very perplexing when basketball season rolled around and I kept seeing him on the bench.
