 Re: Is Harry Lester really done?
I think that what I've heard, and if I'm wrong please correct me, is that the top three from the trials all go to camp. Just in case someone gets hurt, and for training purposes.
I think he's really done though, at least for now. I'm especially interested in two things:
1. Does he go to the Olympics as Deitchler's training partner? Can you imagine that? Its like when Gardener and Byers trained together. What a great experience. The other question is, can a wreslter as talented and driven as Lester deal with going as a training partner? I don't know that if I were him I could, from an emotional standpoint that would be difficult. I've been led to believe that LEster is a standup guy, so I can't imagine him not doing it.
2. MMA is the buzz word, but does anyone think that Lester could become Kevin JAckson of the greco scene? I'm not sure what the qualifications and such are, but it had occured to me that He would be a good canidate to replace Fraser whenever he's done. Anybody have any insight into that? Also (I hope this gets taken the right way), Think about the Rooney (sp) rule in the NFL. It's always such a big deal to have a black headcoach. USA Wrestling could have its two higest ranking coaches both be black athletes that earned their way to the top. That has to account for something.
