Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 3565040, member: 2524"] I think there's truth to that general thesis. But maybe more important is that those who make a ton of money as players rarely want to put in the effort to make a second lower-paid career as a coach, while those who make small money as players need a career and coaching is the natural next move. Knowing they will need a job after their playing career, they start studying to be a coach early. Also, as a journeyman struggling to stay in the game, you naturally do everything you can to learn what your coach wants so that you can please him. You also may move between teams more, and thus have the opportunity to learn from more coaches. [/QUOTE]
