A Basket Ball Coach Ahead of His Time

Jerry Tarkanian is the basketball coach referenced here and he did indeed challenge the norms of his day. His up tempo style of play can be seen today at all levels from high school to the pros. How did I get to skiing from basketball? I warned you about my free association. Claire has dealt with it for years often asking "how did you get there when I thought we were talking about...?". Not only have coaching techniques and approaches changed for elite athletes, but every day participants in sports have seen techniques change for the better. And importantly the equipment has really helped us - shaped skis, large tennis racquets, multi-speed bikes, etc. Weekend warriors can now perform at a higher level due to these innovations. This image is actually a 2 shot Pano and the "2 skiers" are the same person. Taken with a Canon D10 Powershot, stitched with Double Take, and finished with Color Efex Pro 4.
