	Coach Z can often be found at the [[gymnasium]] or [[race track]] (indeed, he seems to live in the accompanying [[locker room]]), providing vague coaching or similar involvement with various athletics. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which has lost its meaning through time. In addition to working as a coach, Coach Z works with [[Homestar Runner]] and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon\|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]]. Coach Z is also the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial\|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award\|Tony awards]], suggesting that he may have a background in theater. Despite his numerous jobs, Coach Z has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year.

-	Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the {{w\|Wu-Tang Clan}}.

Although his usual rapping prowess consists mainly of "count[ing] to two over and over again", as explained in [[nightlife]], he once had a very successful career during his days in the [[Two-o Duo]]. More recent works such as "[[Loading Screens]]" and "[[Fish Eye Lens]]" may indicate that his rap skills are starting to improve.	+	Coach Z is a fan of [[hip hop]] and rap music, particularly the {{w\|Wu-Tang Clan}}.
