2 different discussions, your video on his serve caused a few jokes. You are correct, he had a great career as a player.
But the thread is about how he has zero credibility as far as ever discovering or developing players, does not have the personality to do so, and offers technical advice that is not sound. A poster with great credentials commented on seeing him actually teaching, a poster who dealt with him as a USTA kid parent commented on his personality. First hand accounts of his issues.
I could care less if he had a pretty serve and won 5 French Opens, he is another example of a hire that has no track record in his current job.
