    Use of Sabermetrics

    Yeah that makes more sense... didn't mean for you to do a complete research just was confused about the numbers.. :)

    DD approached to play lacrosse; good idea or no?

    Heck, don't dismiss the potential opportunities that LAX may give her, you never know what may happen.

    I'm lost here, 66 games and your #1 has 58 AB's? I would think 66 games, the AB's would be well over 100..... even counting the BB's and HbP equals 67 total.... She only bats once a game?

    Softball war stories

    LOL, for years now I give the girls a buck if they can hit the H/C coaching 3B... Last year didn't have to pay anything... 1 year I think I ended up paying like 10 bucks :) He's a wirey little guy hahaha

    When success shows up....

    It's just not TB.... seen College coaches do exactly the same thing. A few years ago player had one of the worse swings I've seen in a long time, she hit .400 + with 8 HR that summer.... plays for a pretty successful DIII school, coach doesn't like her swing and changes it. She comes back to us...

    ASA/USA softball Rulebook link to full book?

    As far as I know, they don't offer the full book unless you pay for it.

    Runner on 2nd signaling pitch location to batter

    Well to be honest if that was true... then why the drastic changes in BA when the Astros were at Home vs on the Road? You cannot tell me at the MLB level, knowing a breaking pitch is coming 100% isn't an advantage

    tryouts planning etc.

    Ahhh you didn't mention it was School Ball, that is a totally different ballgame.

    tryouts planning etc.

    Just a question, if you're not making cuts then why have a tryout?

    What is your current Situation?

    DD 1 only played a couple of years 12U, is now an ER Nurse. DD 2 played until she aged out 10U - 18U, wasn't interested in playing College, now a 5th grade teacher. I am still coaching at the 18U level :)

    What to do when a coach teaches something blatantly wrong and dangerous

    The simple fact that the coach said, "that's why my DD is hitting and yours isn't"... I would be looking for another team ASAP.

    interference by 3rd base coach??

    She didn't take home, there was NO play at the plate... Backdoor at third... maybe, except it was a wild throw and from the sounds of it away from the catcher, so I doubt a backdoor play as well.

    Parent has a problem with me as coach (long)

    While I agree the HC should back his AC's... it really goes the other way, the AC's have to back the HC. If you don't agree with what the HC is doing, say your piece and then either go with what the HC does, or leave simple as that. Staying where the Coaches are not in agreement is a set up...

    interference by 3rd base coach??

    Key statement on the Rules you posted... Hinder the defense from making a play.... Which play was hindered?

    Player leaving

    Yeah at 14 the player needs to start taking responsibility for herself, at least she should came with the parent... but she should have told you herself.
  17. CoachKevin

    Player leaving

    You didn't mention age group... but for the player not coming to at least say goodbye, that sucks. We don't have many players that leave our team, but those that do, we wish them luck (only thing you can do) and anytime I see them at the field, I make sure to talk to them and see how they are...

    Parent has a problem with me as coach (long)

    I've been an AC for our HC for many years... My whole philosophy is two fold; one, I give my input on things but support the HC with the final decision (I may go to the old, "I told you so" every once in a while.. haha). And two, I tell everyone I am just there to lift heavy things for the HC...

    Playing Time

    There are always gray areas when it comes to practice to me. A couple of years ago we had a player that was pretty late to almost every practice. Eventually I started hearing some of the players complaining about it. I had to tell them, "You know she lives about 70 miles away, her mother works...

    State Championship Game-Rain Delay Rules

    Would this even be a post if let's say, the team took the field and got 3 quick outs?
