Re: t-and-f: Webb "going pro"

But, I believe Kobe played under 15 minutes per game his first year with the Lakers. We'll never know, but would he have been better prepared for the NBA if he had played two years of college like some other kid named Mike? Also, Tiger was one of the best in the world, and he and Kobe got multi

Just curious, But does the name Kobe Bryant come to anyone's mind? (He did it straight out of HS! He did the same thing (yeah, what a stupid move. ;) JMHO, But Scott Radzko got Webb to 3:53. Who is to say Webb will not get better? Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. On the other hand, I co

t-and-f: USATF Entries

I find the way entries into the US championships are treated at the very least odd. Rules are publicly published, athletes enter and then declare. In one case (Dan OBrien) rules are completely ignored. In another case after athletes declare they seem to be bent severely. In both the case of the

t-and-f: Webb "going pro"

first of all, "going pro" is probably misleading- I doubt Webb is doing it for the money he could realistically expect in the next year or two. Second, Would anybody have said to Tiger Woods that he needed to stay at Stanford through a full four-year ride? Sure there's a difference- Woods had al

Netters: There is, of course, no copmparison between the decisions of Alan Webb and Jonathan Riley to turn pro. Webb is aborting a promsining college career; Riley is taking the next step after an impressive tour at Stanford. I wish Jonathan nothing but the best; he desrves it. I

I was probably being too harsh if I was inferring that walking coaches are unqualified, and yes, I agree distance runners can learn from walking coaches, as well as coaches from other disciplines. However, the issue that was raised by Wayne Armbrust (and perhaps we got off topic) was that some
