    I was cathing up on stuff today and read the Ford Palmer article finally.http://espn.go.com/sports/endurance/story/_/id/11199186/endurance-sports-ford-palmer-balancing-busy-life-olympic-hopesThis quote at the bottom caught my eye.

    Gagliano recently printed out a Track and Field News list of American sub-4:00 milers. He has coached many of the names on the list and expects Palmer's to be there, too.

    "Every one of those runners has turned out to be a great man," Gagliano said.

    Really?? Every sub-4 guy in the US has been a great man?

    Didn't Tim Danielson go sub-4 and he just went to jail for life for murder?

    Maybe the article was written poorly and he was just referring to the sub-4 guys he's coached??

    Speaking of which, the article says Gags has coached the most sub-4 milers of anyone in the US. How many has he coached?

    You read it wrong, I think. I interpreted it as every guy Gags coached as being a great guy. I don't think he knows all the guys on the list.

    1) It was very obvious that was in reference to the sub 4 milers that Gags has coached.

    2) Why did you make another thread on this?

    I like the part where nobody talks to a new guy for a month, not even the coach. Sounds like a really tight group.

    Or it only matters if you run well and become worthy.
