Jonathan Powers is also the head coach of the men's and women's swim team. The team affectionately refers to him as "J-Pow" or, in more rare occasions, "Uncy Pow-Pow"... but you should probably call him Dr. Mr. Professor Powers, sir. King of starting to talk on the :57 and the :28 just when the team is about to start a set, and also of All Things Good.

After lecturing, he commonly asks for, "Questions? Comments?"

Advice: If you say something, and he says, "I'm sorry, what?" then do not repeat what you just said.

In his college years, he was good friends with renowned actor Jeffery Wright. He has never seen the Dalai Lama.
