Cabbage you can pm me if you want the whole story but needless to say it was a horrible year. Most lived through it, some quit. Kids lost faith pretty early on with contradictory instructions and instructions that made no sense, even if they were clarified, often times they weren't.
Major shake up across the Varisty coaching staff resulted in New JV coach, new JV assistant coach, new third coach. None had worked with head coach, it was an unmitigated disaster. Both top coaches already said they won't be back next year, third coach will take over.
I would have been fine with your plan. I expected your plan, what happened was very different. Oh well, onto travel ball and try again next year with high school ball.
