Beat,

Where the heck are you getting these great trivia questions? I have to admit I went to Google on this one, so I'm not going to reveal the answer. But I'll hint that he first played for a coach who has achieved singular success since that time.

I look about the same way you found the answer. Just google stuff with la little info and try to find something a bit differrent that few might know.

Now I gotta go see who that coach was/ But I think I know.

I cheated and googled it, but it was who I thought it was going to be.

One tough, tough hombre.

Sam's hint was what whittled the list down for me. I didn't remember the year, but I thought I knew the player and that hint gave me the team and confirmed the player.
