Don’t think they named her interim. Just “acting director of softball program”

They seemed to be very careful not to use “interim head coach”

The GOAT approves

If her HS had softball would she still have tried to play baseball? Which sport, after playing both, did she prefer?
Apples to oranges i guess since she wasnt she a pitcher in baseball

Quite a run of coaches who didnt grow up in the sport:
Y. Girouard- was a volleyball player
M. Lotief - not a softball player
G.Glasco - got invokved in softball later in life
Hon mention- jut
A. H. - played HS and pro baseball

There was a time when you couldn't find any coach who had "grown up in the sport.

Good point.

Some of the coaches out west, the arizonas and az states, etc grew up (or in 20s and 30s) playing men's fast pitch

She was a pitcher in high school baseball. And played 1B. I actually played against her in an American Legion tournament. And she was a pretty good baseball player with the boys.
