RE: New Recruit

[Bryan Sherman]

I guess my point on if they want is more in line with your paragraph 3. On the
bright side, anyone willing to go from restiring form the NBA to being a coach,
certainly has to be doing it for the love of the game...

I totally (and respectfully) disagree with your 2nd paragraph. The ability to
play at the NBA level does not equate with the ability to coach. How many
coaches across all sports were mediocre players and great coaches? How many
phenomanal players sucked as coaches. There are always exceptions, but it seems
that there is a stromg inverse relation to playing ability and coaching... to a
point.
