Gretzky 'excited' about coaching the Coyotes - Yahoo! News: "By no means am I (Hall of Fame coach) Scotty Bowman"
The "Great Question" about "The Great One". Can he coach?
Lots of people are saying that he was such a natural talent that he won't be able to explain what he wants from his payers. I tend to disagree though. He's worked with at least one excellent coach in his career (Glen Sather), he's smart, and he is well liked by basically everyone in the business. While there is certainly no way he'll create a team of Gretzky's, he knows the strategies and the nuance of the game. There are very few players who were able to see the entire rink like he did when he was on the ice. That's not natural talent, that's practice and intelligence.
I'm looking forward to this and hopefully the people of Phoenix will give him a chance to prove that he can help their team more than just financially.
