Illustration: Fran McCaffery
- On Wednesday, Fran McCaffery set his face on something: the NCAA Tournament
- He had a goal to coach the Hawkeyes through the Tournament
- But his son also was preparing to have surgery on a thyroid tumor
- Coach McCaffery made arrangements to be in Iowa City and then fly to Dayton, OH later that day.
- The Hawkeyes lost the game
- Two days later it was discovered that his son’s tumor was cancerous
- Although Fran wanted to be with the team, he set his face to be with his family
- This is a modern day example of something similar to what Jesus did
Luke 9:51
As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.
