Re: " ex players make good managers. They maybe don't want how it was done to them....."
That's nearly the argument put forward in Moneyball, a book on managing baseball teams. A guy called Scott Hatteberg reckoned the best coaches were poorer quality players. He reckoned top players tried to build clones of themselves because they were good rather than building up the good points in the player they were coaching.
