Does anyone else think its weird they still call people like Fran Fraschilla, "Coach"?
It is a strange thing to me that the Coach title seems to be a lifetime thing, once you coach.
For instance Fran Coached for 10 years, and has now been away from coaching more than 20 years and in TV. Yet people still calls him coach, and I hear him call himself coach too at times.
I get it when a guy has coached for 40 years and retires etc. But when a guy has been other things more than twice as long as they ever coached. Or maybe for a few years after they quit coaching, but not 20 years later.
Its not a big deal, just an oddity to me.
It could be that most of my coaches over the years didnt go by "Coach" Most of the times they had a longstanding nickname etc that was more prominent than Coach, so it may be it stands out more for me.
