No I haven't. My point is there is more to it than just those things. Such as when to be idealistic and when to be realistic. I don't mean any offense by that. I've been in your shoes.
I still say you would be best served by working under a "genuine baseball man" for a few years. Being a player, knowing the game, and being a successful coach are vastly different skill sets.
ps - I bet the butler coach wasn't made HC his first year in coaching. There's a reason why.
