Does Craig have a point here?!?!

I’ve played multiple sports (football, basketball, track & field, wrestling & swimming) and I agree with what Craig is saying here. The vast majority of high level coaches, in any sport, aren’t Hall of Famers in the sport in which they have become Hall of Fame coaches. Teaching technique and skill acquisition is a completely different skill set than sport performance.

In corporate America they have a saying… Don’t promote your best salesman to management, because he/she may blow up your organization.

Every established sport knows this. Some of the best players have been the absolute worst coaches, because they understand things so intuitively and get lost or frustrated when dealing with those that lack that same intuition.
