That's true to an extent.
Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson & Isiah Thomas have been horrible coaches & GM.
Larry Bird, Jerry West, Bobby Clarke, & Mario Lemieux have all enjoyed great success at it.
Babe Ruth would have given up all his records he ever achieved just to be given a chance to manage a MLB team. He was never given the opportunity because he was shit at managing his own life, let alone a team.
There's really no correlation from athlete to coach.
It's an acievement unto it's own.
