We are reviving our “In the Hot Seat” series for 2019, and kicking it off with one of our favorite people, Owasso Baseball Coach Steve Holleman. 

So here we go:

1. Who is a role model in your life?
My mom. She was the rock of our family. I also had various teachers and coaches I admired 
 
2. Who would play you in a movie about your life?
Tom Hanks
 
3. Which household chores do you not mind?
I don’t mind doing anything my wife wants me to do but I don’t particularly like transferring clothes from the washer to the dryer because touching a Bounce fabric softener gives me the creeps.
 
4. What career would you like to have if you could not do your current one?
I would have really liked trying to be a philanthropist but that’s not working out. I would liked to have been the visiting team clubhouse boy for a Major League team
 
5. What is something on your bucket list.
Go to Washington D.C. 
 
6. What is something most people don’t know about you?
That during my time at Owasso, I’ve also been an assistant high school football, basketball and softball coach
 
7. Dinner with a person (past, present, future) of your choice: Who would you pick and why?
There’s a lot but I’m going to say Doris Day. My mom and I would always watch her movies together and listen to her music. Very sweet memories of those times. Would tell Doris what she meant to me her
 
8. When you were younger, what did you want to be when you grew up?
This is basically all I’ve known. My dad was a career minor league ball player and my brother was a great player in high school and college. And, I loved school 
 
9. What is the weirdest food you have eaten?
Alligator 
 
10. What is your favorite thing about Owasso?
I have loved Owasso from the moment I came in 1979. This place was meant for me. Even as we’ve grown, we still have maintained a little bit of a small town charm, but it’s harder now for sure.  Also, there’s always been something special about OPS people and the students. I am so blessed, it’s unbelievable.
