re: When SHAQ retires he should become LSU's next basketball coach

very seldom do great players make great coaches. Only two that I can think of in ANY sport had good careers as coaches...Bill Russell and Mike Ditka. The case can be made that Russell did well because he had himself as a player, and that Ditka did well in spite of himself (he had a GREAT defensive coach).

The problem is that these guys don't understand why the ordinary player can't do what they found so easy.
