[1032004]

Not totally clear here, but if he doesn’t he’ll be wrestling part-time:

So he's cutting down to 65kg for last run? Can't see him going up

[Wrestleknownothing]

Makes sense. He has a family to support now.

Still undecided, I believe.

I think he'd be more fun to watch if he went up, compared to sucking down.

I agree.  We all saw a smaller version of him already sucked down.

I want to see weaponized Zain.

He should be in high demand as an assistant coach. Hoping he leaves Penn St to spread the wealth.

Are they allowed to use PSU methods elsewhere or do they sign an NDA ?

Well he wouldn't be coaching full-time either

Great news for Zain and his family.  Kudos to Taylor Lukof (CEO/Founder of ABR Dynamic funds) for supporting wrestling...I see in his bio he's also on "the Board of the United States Wrestling Foundation, and as a steward of the Living the Dream Medal Fund, supporting Team USA’s top men & women wrestlers."

Hmmm. 

Assistant wrestling coach money vs. alternative asset management sales money? Tough call.

All the Cael coaching tree guys coming up. Hope they do better than all the Assistant Coaches under Bill Belechick who got head coaching jobs in the NFL.

One of (many) problems is those guys didn't try to be themselves.  They tried to channel Bellichick, and they weren't him.

Some would say, BB isn't himself anymore, but I would argue that he is exactly being himself... to his own detriment.  (And also clearly is not a great GM.)

I could be wrong but you seem to be discounting all the perks one gets an assistant wrestling coach.  

[mspart]

Ah yes the perks of being the assistant.   Like the asst is the right hand and the head coach is the left hand.

Zain Retherford aligning humself with a winner.

Just read an article on Bloomberg about volatility quant ABR. Their enhanced short volatility fund is +64% on the year.

Some claim a certain QB created a distorted view of his skills!
