Coin, who has lectured at the law school, serves as executive director of public affairs for the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians of California. He previously served as executive director of the California Nations Indian Gaming Association, as executive director of the National Indian Gaming Association and was the founding executive director of the Arizona Indian Gaming Association.
