Nate Ollie's first coaching job paid $100 a week. He didn't have his own place & often slept on a friend's couch.

He mulled a career in law enforcement. He took all his tests. The academy was next.

“But close in this league doesn’t quite get it to where you want to be,” Rees said.

So, how do they break the barrier?ajc.com/sports/2026/11…
