He sure has a nice pedigree!

Welcome to Louisiana Hunter!

Gerry had him all summer helping to coach the Vipers. So, Hunter must have "passed the test". Yes, he seems to have a nice pedigree. Will we get a third assistant?

Will the Lady Cajuns have an all male coaching staff? Is that odd for softball?

Karly Heath will be a volunteer assistant, so no, they don't have an all male coaching staff.

I believe that is the plan.

Karly Heath will be a volunteer assistant, so no, they don't have an all male coaching staff.

It is my understanding that the volunteer position went away with addition of a 3rd paid assistant. As per Extra Innings softball "Effective July 1, 2023, college softball staffs can expand to a total of four paid coaches. The new rule eliminates the volunteer coach designation and now allows the 4th coach to be included among countable coaches. Those now in volunteer roles will now be in position to be school employees, receives salary and benefits, and be able to recruit freely." So it seems that staffs can now have 4 paid coaches.
