The Sporting News compiled a list of the 50 Best Coaches of all time. I’m not a big fan of a ‘top anything’ list (but it’s fun sometimes to read them). Who really knows who was the best at anything? Isn’t it subjective? Everyone has an opinion. The one thing I will say is I think Pat Riley (ranked 30th) is a little skewed. I would say he is closer to top 10. The guy won with three different clubs, with three different styles in three different era’s. John Wooden was chosen the best overall.
“When I think of Coach Wooden, the first word that comes to mind is execution,” said Gail Goodrich, who wrote an appreciation of his former coach in SN. “We never worried about the opponent, only about how we were going to play.”
WAPT.com wants Coaches to be careful what you read especially if it’s your athlete’s Facebook account. A former cheerleader is suing her school for $100 million. The coach invaded her privacy by logging into her account and reading her material.
