More often than not, players become coaches or bureaucrats in the corresponding sports organizations.
- bmm6o 15y agoI think "More often than not" vastly overstates it. It's much more common in baseball, with its extensive farm system, or football with the large number of position coaches, but even there it's the exception rather than the rule.
- prawn 15y agoCan only speak for basketball (my brother plays in our NBL and I run hoops.com.au) but I'd say you're correct. Some go in to coaching or admin roles, but not many and, at least in Australia, many of those positions are not particularly well paid.
