McEnroe Out As U.S. Olympic Coach


Patrick McEnroe has decided NOT to return as U.S. Olympic tennis coach at the Beijing Summer games.

I heard the reason for his departure is he got tired of all of the players asking him what it was like growing up with John as a brother. Now don't quote me on that. I don't know if it's true...it's just something I've been hearing ALOT of around the tennis courts lately.

Rodney Harmon, a U.S. open quarterfinalist in 1982, will take over the coaching reigns for McEnroe. Wow... first John McEnroe's brother and now a U.S. Open quarterfinalist from 1982...the U.S. Olympic Committee sure knows how to pick their coaches, don't they?
