A Georgia House resolution formally recognizes Coach Keith Maloof, the longtime Norcross High School football coach, on his retirement after a decades-long coaching career. ### Plain-language summary This resolution is a ceremonial honor from the Georgia House of Representatives rather than a change to state law. It recognizes Coach Keith Maloof, who coached football for more than 40 years and served as head coach for 29 seasons, including 26 seasons leading Norcross High School's team from 1999 to 2024. The resolution highlights his overall coaching record of 232-103, his status as the winningest head coach in Gwinnett County history, and the NFL players he mentored, including Alvin Kamara and Lorenzo Carter. It also notes his 2023 Atlanta Falcons Coach of the Year honor. The House resolves to commend Maloof on his retirement and directs the Clerk of the House to provide him with a copy of the resolution. ### What it does - Formally commends Coach Keith Maloof on the occasion of his retirement from coaching. - Recites his career record, including his overall 232-103 coaching record and 210-92 record at Norcross High School. - Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Coach Maloof. - Creates no new legal requirements, funding, or penalties, as it is a ceremonial resolution rather than a law. ### Who it affects The resolution directly names and honors Coach Keith Maloof.
