"Coach Pope fixed my son. He was so broken. It was so devastating as a mom to see her son come before her like that. And everything [Coach Pope] did, every step he took, all the words he spoke, all the actions he took, bringing [Alex] into a safe spot, around a wonderful community, a wonderful university, wonderful teammates, and leading that, it was amazing. I will never, ever be able to thank him enough because he saved my child."
