It was interesting to hear the Hank Gathers story because I had never heard about it before the other day. It was amazing how someone who was so well conditioned could just drop dead and not be revived on national TV, although he had a health condition. On a positive note, the offense Loyola Marymount ran, scoring nearly 120 points a game really was amazing.
No I do not blame the coach for Hank Gathers' death, but I do blame his trainers and doctors. They knew he had this health condition and they should have monitored him more closely and let him not dictate what he wanted to do. Even if he really wanted to play, team doctors should have prepared for the worst case scenario.
