I believe in those roles he was actually a coach, whereas at OSU he was just a graduate assistant-type, although I might be off on the details.phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18057215403741682609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12133335.post-5861777913738268862009-10-07T21:42:25.901-04:002009-10-07T21:42:25.901-04:00"Second, I actually like George Steinbrenner,..."Second, I actually like George Steinbrenner, and I would love to see him win another championship."<br /><br />Geogrge does have 6 already. A lot of NBA fans were rooting for the Lakers to win the championship last year so Jackson would get his 10th ring as a coach. But Jackson already had 10 rings if you count his one as a player with the Knicks.<br /><br />Steinbrenner probably has the most interesting past of any owner or former owner in professional sports. He attended military school, played college football, joined the Air Force, worked for Woody Hayes at OSU. He owned the Cleveland Pipers of the short-lived American Basketball League in the early 60's. He also invested in some Broadway shows. He did all of this before he purchased the Yankees.
