Have you ever known a man whose heart beats with such reverent passion that those touched still feel its honorable pulse decades later? Man in the Gap is a biography/memoir, the inspiring story of such a man, Douglas McDowell Bennett, an ordinary boy who accomplished extraordinary things.
Coach Bennett left an indelible mark on the people of Swansea, South Carolina, a small southern town, long racially segregated, when, in 1968, he found himself tasked with implementing the integration of the town's black and white schools. In that moment, he chose to become a unifying and enduring bridge between the two, overcoming fierce resistance with patience, persistence, dignity, and grace.
In Man in the Gap, the exemplary life of this hall-of-fame coach is shared through heartfelt recollections of former players and coaches who highlight the unique aspects of Coach Bennett's amiable personality, principled character, and inspirational teaching and coaching philosophies. Many describe him as a Christian role model - teaching them the most important lessons of life - which forever enhanced and enriched their lives.
In thirty-six years of selfless service, in many seen, but often unseen ways, Doug Bennett modeled enduring excellence for a small town, a burgeoning state, and beyond, as he followed the still. small voice.
After serving for six years in campus ministry at the University of Tennessee, in 1987, Simmons rejoined Sheridan's staff at N. C. State where he served as a graduate assistant coach (1987-1988) and then as Recruiting Coordinator (1989-1992.) When Sheridan resigned for health reasons in 1993, he was named an assistant coach on new head coach Mike's O'Cain's staff 1993-1999.
Over the past twenty years Simmons has worked in sales and customer service. He currently lives in Lake Royale, North Carolina where he is pursuing a final career as a writer and public speaker. "Man in the Gap" is his first book.
