Looking for a coaching job wherever he can find it, apparently. He sought the recently vacated boys basketball coaching job in Llano:

Dave Bliss, a one-time highly successful college coach who was kicked out of the college game in disgrace, applied for the Jackets’ job.

Why did he seek the position? “It’s going to be exciting there,” he told me by phone, April 26. “They have great aspirations. I’ve always enjoyed coaching and working with young people.”

Most of the teams that Llano play aren't famous for heckling. High school isn't college and it would be the college kids who would be more likely to heckle.
