I believe there is more to the story. Something was off at the regional. There was weird interactions with him and the girls at the regional. He would explode in odd situations and key situations when he needed to be calm. I watched him very closely at the regional.
He may just want to reset.
Who knows what he was going through or has been through with the loss of his daughter here. It will all come out eventually.
It is a step down for sure at TX Tech.
Maybe he was told he needed to win that regional or no extension? Why not our standard is to get to the WCWS.
