Since the game comes so easily to them, they don't look at the run of play the same as the normal player.Alastair McCandlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002968674996153040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392105088138550168.post-3889676370827567422008-10-29T22:01:00.000-04:002008-10-29T22:01:00.000-04:00Yes, agree on all counts.

Perhaps the best basketball player of all time, Bill Russell, had a lackluster coaching career with the Seattle Supersonics and Sacramento Kings. Ted Williams, the last baseball player to hit .400, was equally wretched his three years managing with the Texas Rangers. NFL Hall of Fame QB Norm Van Brocklin went 56-100 in his opportunities with Minnesota and Atlanta. Obviously, Argentina is already an elite club and hopefully that will help Diego in having a greater degree of success.Alastair McCandlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002968674996153040noreply@blogger.com
