PFW’s Jon Coffman earns prestigious Red Coat award from Mad Anthonys Foundation

Since 1958, the Mad Anthonys have recognized individuals for their positive impact on the region and state. Much like the Masters champion in golf who receives a green jacket, recipients of this honor from the Mad Anthonys Foundation are presented with a red coat. On Friday, Purdue Fort Wayne men's basketball head coach Jon Coffman joined the long and prestigious list of those who have added this famous article of clothing to their closets.
