I was listening to Mike and Mike this morning and they were making an interesting observation about the college and pro national champions from this past year. We can all debate about who the best coaches are, but a very good case can be made that this list might make a lot of "best" lists ... for starters ...
College football ... Urban Meyer
Pro football ... Bill Belichick (we can hate him for some reasons but few would deny he's an outstanding coach)
College basketball - men ... Coach K.
College basketball - women ... Geno Auriemma
Pro basketball ... Greg Popovich
MLB ... Bruce Bochy
Of course, not only are team and game management are important, but so is recruiting and drafting. If we draw a conclusion that coaching is that important at the college and pro levels, how important must it be in youth softball?!?!
Another observation ... being a Cleveland sports fan, I like the Indians chances with Terry Francona, but David Blatt is certainly a wild card for the Cavs, unless of course that one makes the case that LeBron is actually the coach!
