There's probably a reason your HC isn't coaching in the summer....and it may not be just because he doesn't think the team is good. Our HC wasn't allowed to coach, but he could go sit and watch just like any other fan....so that's what he did
In Illinois we have a sanctioned summer baseball season. Even ends with a tournament. All the other schools have their head coaches out there and I can see why some of these guys consistently win regionals and sectionals. One guy, coming off of two straight regional championships was out there in 90 degree heat coaching for 2-3 hours. He didn't shut up - but worked with every one of his players. If there was a double play ball to 2b, he would talk to his team on the bench about the good/bad on that play. Etc.
Not sure where the guy is, but given the amount of work we need to compete it would be nice if he was there taking control of his program.
So now what. I am afraid for our program. Summer travel teams have been nixed, leaving many players scrambling for a team. Apparently there will be no fall workouts. Seems like our program is going downhill at the same time the conference gets small and tougher.
