Who is the physically weakest most unathletic COACH?

[D. Bergin]

Baseball has had a ton of super old guys sitting in the clubhouse. Maybe tough guys deep down and full of confidence, but not likely physically strong or "athletic".

Don Zimmer comes to mind. Don wasn't scared of anybody...and was perfectly willing to take one...or two...or three....or four, for the team.

....but you'd need 9 or 10 Don Zimmer's to beat up a single Pedro Martinez (not exactly a tough guy in his own right).

Zimm played 12 years in MLB, can't say he wasn't athletic.

He looks to have a pretty strong death grip on my all time favorite players leg.

Jeff Van Gundy is a strong choice based on the photo.

However, as a long-frustrated Knicks fan from the era, I'd argue that getting in the middle of a fight between 1990s-era Knicks and Heat players (plus getting punched in the face accidentally by Marcus Camby) means that he's got brass balls.

(According to Wiki, he was also a Division 3 collegiate All-American at point guard, which means he was probably in the top 1/10 of 1% of all basketball players in his prime.)
