True, but that OTJ shouldn't be at a major P5 school, at least not IMO.

That's why there are mid level HC jobs. Coaches go there to hone their HC skills. As they get experience and knowledge, then they can move up in the coaching world to P5 schools.

Being one of the best pitchers in women's fast pitch softball history, doesn't a head coach make. Nor does being a pitching coach at a couple of schools.

A pitching coach isn't involved in making substitutions, isn't involved in strategy, isn't involved in hitting, etc.

He can actually take no material and turn it into -- SHPHOKIE 06/02/2018 10:03PM

Can’t listen to him anymore as he use to actually talk about -- SCHokie1103 06/02/2018 10:39PM

Thanks- I think it will be Tinch- she's worth the gamble -- bigbadbird 05/31/2018 07:52AM

What has made her such a target, given her experience as a coach? -- 48zip 05/31/2018 08:20AM

Every coach starts with no experience -- bigbadbird 05/31/2018 08:27AM

Not in P5. and I'd think the HC has far more obligations. -- 48zip 05/31/2018 08:58AM

Whit, I hope is looking at the future and looking Forward.. -- JRHokie 05/31/2018 08:40AM

As much as I would like to see Tincher succeed, she isn't ready yet. -- Atlee Hokie 05/31/2018 03:52AM

I think Whit may try to get her to remain the pitching coach.... -- Old Line Hokie 05/31/2018 11:31AM

I don’t think Whit will do anything extraordinary for AT. -- IB4TECH 05/31/2018 2:47PM

You are Correct .. ** -- JRHokie 05/31/2018 06:02AM
