Goorjian is 68 years old, yet in the AFL even 50 year old coaches are supposedly past it.
I think that is a generalisation, age isn't really the issue, but being willing or unwilling to change in the shadow of altered game tactics and rules can be though!
Have the rules and tactics changed that much in basketball in recent decades? I realise the skills have change dramatically, 3-pts is mundane now, when I played it was a rarity and if you took more than one or two 3-pt shots a game and missed the coach would drag you! Now they will shoot 3-pts at 35% in a qtr, and go at 70% the next qtr and be labelled a star!
