I saw that one in the newspaper. I do not have a way to show two coaches properly. I just have to list them both with a hyphen between the names. I have tried a few things as this has occurred in the past with no success. I guess we will have to live with it that way for now. On the same subject and not to knock anyone's choice for head coach, but I have rarely seen anything that worked well when run by committee. I would think it could get interesting in the right intense situation.
