Reply to "Asking a Power-5 D1 College Coach to Give a Recommendation to Mid Major Coach. Is it OK?"

My son (when he was 9) took a batting lesson from a guy who was then a graduate assistant at an NAIA school. That batting lesson led to a friendship/mentoring relationship which lasted throughout - and beyond - my son's baseball playing days. Our family would seek college/baseball advice from him as the coach's career blossomed. (It was a mutual relationship covering advice in many areas, with many discussions occurring on the golf course over the years.)

That coach helped in many baseball areas: invite to AC tryouts, summer collegiate league assistance, recruiting insights and more. Even though S turned down his recruiting offers, the coach's mentoring door was always open. His recommendations to other coaches and organizations opened doors for my son.

If the coach knows your son and is willing to go to bat for him and lay his (coach's) rep on the line, it could be a huge assist.
