The Balmain Boy is doing well and back home at the moment.
This is from UCONN's website in a review of Season 2002!
THE CROCODILE PUNTER
Junior Adam Coles, a native of Gladesville, Australia, and a former Australian Rules Football player, has made a solid transition to the American version of football and is quietly making noise in UConn?s record book. Coles is presently second all-time at UConn with a 39.7 average for a minimum of 80 career punts and ranks amongst the top five in school history for both number of punts and yardage.
Coles didn?t disappoint in 2002, kicking for a 39.9 average, including a long of 64 at Miami. In that game, Coles showed his AFL background on a punt in the second quarter when the snap went well over his head and he had to back peddle about 20 yards, finally getting off what he termed a "snap kick" at his own seven yard line just before being flattened by Miami?s Marcus Maxey. Although it went in the book as a 24 yard boot, it went about 50 yards in the air.
Coles was named to the Ray Guy Award?s preseason watch list.
