He was the coach not only for my entire life a few times over, but the entire time I was at Cuse. His run was truly impressive.

I get the sentiment but the sentence is confusing and i wanna make sure I’m reading it right.

Doesnt “my entire life a few times over” imply a significantly longer period of time than “the entire time i was at cuse”?

It's cool. Not only did the earthquake in Turkey cause $35B in damage and destroy entire cities, it even knocked over my neighbor's doghouse!

I was also confused by “a few times over.” I think of a ‘few’ as being at least 3. ‘Couple’ I interpret as 2. Not saying everyone thinks that or it’s objectively correct to interpret as such. But if you meant 3 times over that would make you somewhere around 16. But you have been to college so that was confusing to me.

My dad is 12 years younger than him. Coach B was the coach at Syracuse when my dad was in law school at Syracuse.
