I am certainly not saying to fire Mike Woodson and hire Dusty May, but the history of sports shows that there rarely is a connection between being a great player and then becoming a great coach or manager. In fact, most great players who took head coaching jobs bombed out. Ted Williams, Pete Rose and Bill Russell are great examples of that. And if you look at the history of great coaches, the opposite seems to also be true. Vince Lombardi, Bill Belichick, Nick Saban, Tommy Lasorda, Red Auerbach, Walter Alston, Casey Stengel and Terry Francona are great examples. Some would add Bobby Knight to that list. He certainly was not a star at OSU. I guess my point is that at the highest level, Xs and Os are important, but understanding the value of team chemistry, understanding how to motivate over paid and over hyped folks and being a master psychologist are more important than calling out the right plays. That's why you have assistant coaches. Dusty May seems to be great proof of my points here. He has a love for the game. He appreciates the talents of his players and knows how to develop a program. He would be a great hire for IU down the road. He seems to have the right stuff. And no, it doesn't matter that he wasn't a star himself.
