What's the deal with the coaching staffs for the 2001 World Championship teams? I think the coaching selection in the USA is deplorable. Is the Good ol boy system at it's finest? You have Trevor Graham and John Smith who probably place more athletes on these teams than any other coach yet they

Re: t-and-f: Owens trivia answers

George Brown of L.A. Jordan HS jumped 25' 2.5" in 1949 to break Owens' HSR. I guess this was the shortest lasting of Owens' records. Since Brown's jump came in a dual meet vs. Huntington Park you might want to go with Monte Upshaw's 25' 3" at state in 1954 for Piedmont, CA Andy Ferrara HS

Using that logic, the men's field hockey Gold is, on the order of magnitude, much more competitive than the 100m, given that hundreds of millions play it, and unlike "futbol" which only causes drunken riots, field hockey causes wars. Use logic and numbers not track-geek spin to evaluate the relat

It's interesting to note that Owens never held the Olympic Record or the World Junior Record. He never held the OR because all the jumps at Berlin in '36 were wind-aided. He never held the WJR because he turned 20 in December of the year he set the HSR. A trivia question that virtually nobody

Congrats to Jon Alquist for being the only one to correctly identify Willie Steele as the one to break Owens' NCAA meet record. Of course, Steele's mark, the only 26-footer of his life, came at altitude (surprise!). (1947 NCAA in Salt Lake City). Remove Steele's mark from the equation and Owen
