Coaching Couple

Feb. 15, 2007

Most married couples are close, but the Troyans take it to a new level as both are coaches at Lehigh University. Fran Troyan serves as the head coach of the Mountain Hawk softball teams, while wife Sue is the head coach for the women's basketball squad.

"This might seem strange to others, but it seems normal to us and we consider ourselves very, very fortunate," Fran says. "If you love working with someone, coaching together can be an amazing thing."
