Softball Coaching Change

Good points about they had worked with him in the past. Maybe this was more a case of good friends helping each other out for a year. Haven't seen anything on Twitter from the players (pro or con).

Quiet coaching changes are much better than Headline grabbing changes full of turmoil and over the top drama like a soap opera. imo

New head coach for softball at UAB is Jimmy Kolaitis, assistant for four years at Oregon for Mike White, who is just left Oregon for Texas. Kolaitis was an assistant coach for and graduated from Troy. Also was an assistant coach at South Alabama for Becky Clark - all this from UAB softball website.

UAB has both Joe and Courtney as assistant coaches - two paychecks.

UL average attendance 1736, 7th in the country
UAB average attendance 507, 46th in the country

What am I missing?

Kolaitis and Guthrie are best friends. Guthrie and Foster are husband and wife. Courtnay becomes an assistant coach, which is a bigger paycheck. Guthrie has a son from previous relationship living in Alabama. Sufficient reasons for the move?

So who is or will be the hitting coach? I believe Ellen Reed is the pitching coach. Does Coach Glasco instruct the hitting portion? What was Joe Guthrie and Courtnie Foster specialty?

Gerry's the hitting coach. Joe's titles would be "jack-of-all-trades," "chief cook and bottle washer," "general overseer." His primary duties here would have been defense and helping with the offense. Courtnay worked with the pitchers.

Wish them the best and a thank you for coming help right the ship. Never fault anyone that moves for better career reasons.

Maybe coach Bab and Talbort will move over to softball. Over heard someone talking about this today at Academy.

I know you aren't serious. At least I hope you aren't.

That is what I over heard while at Academy. I sure hope that it isn't true. Was just asking if anyone heard the same?
