While waiting for a really long time in a doctor's office, I came across this gem. This picture only shows a few of these parallel structures. The antecedent of the pronoun they is coach. They is plural. Coach is singular. The proper way to write this is, "When a basketball coach can average more than 20 wins per season, you'd know he is a good coach." Sometimes for political correctness he/she is used. In this case, he is correct because the story is about a male coach.This was in Saline County, Arkansas' Lifestyle magazine.
