That is absolutely not true. D1 baseball is generally somewhere that this happens year in and year out. There are 299 D1 teams competing for 64 spots each uear. If no team has a repeat appearance over a three year period, only 192 teams would have met your bar. For your statement to be a truth, there would be, at a minimum, a need for 107 head coach changes over the period.

More realistic analysis would be to say that at least 60% of the teams would repeat year in and year out. That means only 115 teams would meat your standard over the three year period and thus there would need to be 184 head coaching changes over the period.

Asinine to make such a statement, especially with respect to a head coach that may miss this bar for the first time in his 25 year history.

So basketball with 50+ more teams and still only 64 dance cards would be 234 positions? Talk about an arms race.

You are correct, so is the Kid.

I think the missing variable here is schools that actually care about baseball or even that level of success. Not sure if that changes the results but I don’t expect St Peters to go through the trouble of firing and hiring every 3 years.

IT all depends upon what IT, is.
