It's been a few years since Danny White was on a football field, but he might not recognize the next one he steps onto.
The Phoenix Suns named White as the new head coach of the team's Arena Football League franchise. Then White said his only familiarity with the sport came from watching a few games on television.However, that shouldn't be a problem, the former Arizona State and Dallas Cowboys quarterback said Thursday.
"So long as they block, tackle, pass, run, catch, kick and have a line of scrimmage, the ball is the same whether it's in an arena or on a standard football field," White said. "There's no difference. The basics are the same."
The league this year has added San Antonio, Cincinnati and Phoenix to expand to 11 teams. The 1992 season begins about the end of May and will last until mid-August.
