Video of the Week: Dave Bliss gets second chance, experiences redemption (by GameOn LU)

Game On LU recently sat down with former NCAA Division I basketball coach Dave Bliss, whose career fell apart in a scandal at Baylor University in 2003 after 500 NCAA victories as a head coach. After a lengthy wilderness period where Bliss was paralyzed by guilt and shame, Bliss finally learned to forgive himself and accept God’s forgiveness in his life.

“If I was refusing to accept that death on the cross for my sins, I had to be the most arrogant person going,” Bliss says in the video. “From that moment on it changed my repentance from beating myself up and the self-hatred you go through, to a glorious God-discovery of all the riches He has available for us.”

Today Bliss is back coaching at the collegiate level as a head coach at Southwestern Christian University in Bethany, Oklahoma.
