Dan Wetzel and possible personal reasons for some bias

It's no secret that I really have enjoyed his work over the years. I read his books on Jerry Tarkanian and the 1966 Championship Texas Western Miners and Coach Don Haskins. His columns over the years in Yahoo Sports have pretty much provided for me alI I could reasonably expect from sports writing. Things like depth, motivation, sympathy, perspective, tragedy and triumph . He covers a multitude of topics because his articles do not break down the 2-3 zone or the Shotgun offense . Wetzel looks for the story and makes it appealing whether or not you are familiar with the sport in question.As long as you are interested in human behavior. I quote some here from time to time.

Short biography and latest columns.

Full Disclosure:

I am a little biased because of

this

and

this.

(read carefully)
