Coach Taylor on “Friday Night Lights” may be the perfect archetype of the sporty dad. He’s got a tough exterior with a soft center. He’s dedicated to his family and would do anything for them. But above all, he lives for the love of the game. I’ve got my own Coach Taylor type in my life. I call him dad. My father, while not a coach, is a former college basketball player from Brooklyn fond of threatening to hang men who have done me wrong by a flagpole from their underwear. No wonder I’m single. Click through for some Father’s Day gift ideas for the sports-loving dad.
