People that play in program golf tournaments or have meals with coaches will continue to do that once current head guys are no longer here. Those are generally perks for program support. Those perks will continue to be available after staff changes are mAde.

Obviously those guys know know much about the game. That is why some of us put more credence into their views than those of others.

Agreed! I would put Dad04 and CajunSball22 up against anyone on this board when it comes to baseball.

That’s my point mike. These guys questioned moves made by Deggs throughout the year. But obviously they don’t know baseball cause babysitter said so

Mike, I'm not referring to perks that come with levels of giving. That is expected and part of college athletics fundraising. I'm talking about those that enjoy the fellowship, friendship or recognition of coaches more than the programs they run. Those two things are not the same.

You can enjoy your friendship with coaches and still understand that the business side of the profession requires tough decisions at times. For example, if Coach Marlin is not retained following the upcoming season, I don’t believe any current Rebounders Club members will reduce their contributions for the following year. If so, the number will be very few. Some will continue to be friends with Coach Marlin in his next chapter in life.

I think there are some that can't, unfortunately.

You mad Mullet ? Yeah, there are people on this board that understand the game. More don’t understand it. Choose your category. Even Jay Walker has to remind some of you that your football mentality doesn’t translate to knowing the game of baseball. Go chew on his ass.
