University of Memphis Softball Coach

[Rolling Hard]

Daughter went to a college camp in Chicago (Easton Rawlings Tournament) FSU and many other good softball schools were at the camp. Travis Wilson seemed to be very friendly with the girls. I have no idea what position Travis played but he was very good at pitching front toss to the girls that attended the FSU portion of the camp. Travis was the only person at the camp that was throwing front toss with a full underhand motion.

I like Travis. He is the best. I really don't know him, but coaches that can't properly throw front toss, suck. I hate the sidearm swing around the screen toss too.

I feel a little better about myself since I windmill my front toss sessions. Thanks. It does get a little dicey getting back behind the screen in time to avoid the line drives when I'm only 25' away.

This is the best pitching screen out there. It's reversible for baseball and softball, so there's no need to duck and hide after the pitch is released. I've used it for years with my girls, and I've never once been hit.

Found an article on some possible candidates.

Thanks, just seems crazy that the school is in a winnable conference situation and just needs right coach and some players. I know the city of Memphis can be rough around the edges.

Good list...

Does anyone know why they haven't named a coach or any candidates? Didn't see much of the players in the portal.

New AD just started and want to be part of the process. Willing to bet something is officially announced soon, maybe even today. Definitely within the next week.

It tells us softball is not a high priority sport there. Major red flag.

From what I have heard, their support is higher than most other schools, including P4 schools. AD just started. Interviews had to wait until then.

The AD was hired more than a month ago. No reason the job shouldn't be filled by now

Their official first day was July 22 and he was going to be part of the first coaching hire under his leadership. The softball job wasn’t officially posted until July 1. These things aren’t an overnight process. Expect an announcement soon.

September 1st is rapidly approaching and I believe Cal State Fullerton and UC Riverside are without a HC. Is it the money? The required masters degree? The cost of living in so Cal?
Incompetent AD?

You could say yes to all of those. The candidate pool may be thinner for those reasons, and the school may not be overwhelmed by any one person. Or, it could be they found the right person but negotiations are ongoing due to money, paying for relocation or the like.
