It’s a mix of knowledge and making meaningful changes, that made kids that work with him, better pitchers. To me a coach is different than a manager.

I also think outstanding coaches build relationships with their players. Build confidence. Bring out the best and utilize strengths.

I have no idea how he was with bullpen management, which factors into an overall good coach at the college level. So I guess to me, it would be a mixture of those 3 elements. If all you do is manage the talent that is there, to me you are a good manager, not necessarily a good coach. I think college kids need more than a manager to build a good culture. They are still kids.

Probably a bit of a unicorn to have it all but I know there are a few.
