Just numbers after 12 games

[zephyr]

Using those standards only softball is an above average sunbelt team with a 1.1st place average finish. Followed by basketball at 3.8th place then baseball at 4th place average and football at 4.1th placed average.

* These are strictly conference based numbers and not overall records.

Over the past 7 years, the MBB team has an average conference finish of 4.3 and that is with last year's first place finish.

I agree for the most part although I still feel strongly that we CAN build a program of excellence but we need to set ourselves up for such.

We can; but not with the current staff. They recruit, schedule and coach for mediocrity. That won't change until the basketball staff is replaced and the administration demands a committment to excellence.

Here's a question that all of us should be wondering:

Does JT still influence our batters or does that now tie directly to Wells?

If Wells exclusively coaches the batters, then I will say that it will take some time to learn the new approach. But if JT is still influencing the batters, then we are back to where we were before Wells arrived.

I've thought about your Q some more.

It seems plainfully obvious that the batters are somewhat unwilling to turn themselves into hitters and have to visit with JT at first base.

You are amazingly brilliant when it is early in the morning.

Coincidentally, do you think if we put JT on the bench, it would create incentive for our batters to become hitters so they could avoid more dugout time when we are at the plate?

I wondered aloud on FB about a week ago if the season had already come down to “those four games in May,” (per Foote) and I was summarily rebuked and told that I needed to “take a deep breath” and “let the season play out.” Everyone was jumping the gun...the baseball season is a “marathon, not a sprint”.....we havent even begun conference play... etc... Well, at 6-10, following ANOTHER humiliating loss at home, and with 40 games left, we now need to go 34-6 to get to 40 wins, and 24-16 to even hit 30....how’s that “at large” bid looking??

Don’t feel bad. It follows the usual pattern of social media. Someone with a logical thought comes out only once in a blue moon. Those who are coming out rebuking also share cat videos. Draw your own conclusion there.

Tony has been the our coach for 24 years. We have finished third or higher in our conference standings in 17 of those years. That means he has finished in the top three of our conference over 70% of the time.
