Default Re: Who's The Best ?

Didn't see my favorite, (but didn't expect to)

Bill Bowerman - Oregon Track & Field

training 31 Olympic athletes
51 All-Americans
12 American record-holders
24 NCAA champions

Co-founder of NIKE (he was Phil Knight's coach. Knight handled the business end, Bowerman developed the shoes)

Co-Wrote book Jogging which sold over 1 million copies in the 60's. It started the jogging craze that remains today.

This guy should be much more famous than he is. IMO.
