Peter, We may need to ask whether the end justifies the means. Joe
Pinturno seems to get similar excelence, yet he demands the development of
the scholar/athelete addressing the whole person before him and not just
the physical side. I don't know what his coaching style is behind closed
doors but publicly he appears to be a nurturing coach, at least in how his
players relate to him. I don't wish to dismiss coaching as one dimension
of teaching, but there was a while there, about 8 years ago, where the
coaching metaphor was being used rather heavily as best practice, without
considering individual differences and styles.
