Coach Irons is the head coach at Vashon HS in St. Louis. They are a state power and are also on the national radar from time to time. His team recently won their ninth state championship with a 33-0 record.
This is not the first time he has done this. About 13 years ago he pulled his team off of the floor in the state semis with two seconds remaining. They were losing and Coach Irons ended up walking away with little punishment.
He is a very controversial person in St Louis. He is often accused of recruiting players from all over the city and often draws complaints from area coaches. He was turned in a few years when one of his players was shot dead in front of the players home. The problem was the player did not live in the Vashon district.
People in St. Louis either love him or hate him There is very little middle ground.
