If it Feels Like Leather, Shoot it

From a distance Roger Kaiser's life is a fairytale. He was a schoolboy star in Dale, Indiana, led the Southeastern Conference in scoring two years in a row, sparked Georgia Tech to its first appearance in the NCAA Basketball Tournament, was a two-time All-American and married his childhood sweetheart. After a brief career in the ABL, he went into coaching and won four NAIA national titles at West Georgia College and Life University. He retired with more wins than any basketball coach in Georgia history. He is a member of the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame, the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame and the NAIA Hall of Fame. But he lost two siblings and faced the loss of a daughter at the age of 35. He has survived two bouts with cancer, numerous surgeries and is the founder of the Alexis Kaiser Foundation, designed to raise money for his granddaughter and other special needs children. He continues to work with young people at Mt. Bethel Christian Academy in Marietta, Georgia.
