Because of the crash of the dynasty called "Foreign" I have decided to try again. I will use the same introduction. Here it is:
I am Akim Nosarrian. I was born and raised in Armenia, the greatest country in the history of the world, populated with the most brilliant people in the history of the world.
I came to the United States to play basketball. I was given a full athletic scholarship by Michigan State University. I played there for four years and I received my B. A. degree in mechanical engineering. I coached there as a graduate assistant while I pursued and completed my Master’s degree in the same subject.
I then realized that I wished to become a basketball coach, and not an engineer. I had no interest in coaching secondary school basketball. I applied for many assistant coaching positions at U. S. universities. I was hired by San Diego State as their third assistant. I did the scouting there.
After four years I moved to Texas State as second assistant. I was the bench coach/practice coach there for four years.
Then I came here to Baltimore, Maryland as the #1 assistant at Coppin ST, charged with recruiting. I served in that capacity for four years. A few weeks ago the head coach here retired and I was offered the position.
Coppin ST has recently committed itself 100% to aligning itself with foreign universities, and to admitting as high a percentage of foreign students as possible. In light of that fact I, being a former foreign student, was told that was why I was hired, and was also told that my program, as all of our other athletic programs, must recruit only students from foreign countries to play basketball here. I accepted the challenge.
