Roger "Coach" Phillips is a fictional character on Happy Days[1] played by Ted McGinley. He is the nephew of Howard and Marian Cunningham and a teacher and basketball coach at Jefferson High School in Milwaukee. The character of Roger helped fill the void left by the departure of Richie Cunningham (played by Ron Howard, who left the series to pusure a directing career), who joined the army. Roger was a recurring character in seasons 8-9 and joined the main cast in season 10 and stayed until the series finale in season 11.
