I don’t know anything about it, but I’ll certainly take your word for it as your word is solid in my experience. He was always a great guy when I spent time with him. I can’t say he is a great coach, though he is knowledgeable. Again, I’m not a big important person, though. Just a guy.
Agree JD is the man. BTW once your a dude you can't go back to being just a guy. I think his coaching style rubbed players the wrong way. Sometimes folks aren't good with getting there teaching across to players. I can tell you this most of the players didn't like him on or off the diamond.
I'm just another guy, and fortunate to know folks who have been pillars of the Athletic department in more ways that just writing checks literally for 50+ years. When an 80 year old man gets hipchecked verbally trying to drop off a huge diamond club check one morning, well it raises eyebrows. Still shaking my head.
All that said, it's not the worst thing a coach ever did and I actually wish him peace and happiness and choose to believe a good person had a bad day. Still, I would be shocked if this was totally ignored by management.
I swear if you knew this family just a little bit, you would be shocked. I was stunned speechless when it happened. I'm like wait.......WHAT? And it was explained to me again. I take no pleasure relating the experience and wish it never happened.
This is the kind of family when someone gets sick head coaches (plural) show up with flowers.
I truly wish JT was the best assistant coach we ever had. If he was RPI might be less than 110, but he is not.
Sadly, the gentleman passed away last winter.
