    In basketball, is the jockey also management/the owner? Who is deciding which horse(s) to ride? And they have to be appealing to the “horses” in this case.

    Yes, you need both, but the “jockey” builds the ability to win the race.

    Interesting analogy.

    My visual on this is a jockey without a horse lined up against a horse without a jockey.

    They jockey wins, right? The horse has no idea what to do in that case

    A great jockey on a nag with fleas ain’t gonna finish in the money. A great horse with an idiot for a trainer or jockey ain’t going to either.

    Tried to log on to the Holyland site, but forgot my password.
    They also wanted an answer to a security question, to prove you weren't a robot.

    The question: Ed Cooley coaches the Providence _______?
    ...he went up late, and I was already up there.

    So if the plan was for Jim Larranaga to retire and for Dusty May to take the job at Miami, then that will certainly make things interesting at the Final Four.
