That is disappointing but not surprising. This is driven by the current structure and supply and demand. There is an abundance of guys trying to climb the ladder who would jump at the chance to coach at the D1 level even as a volunteer assistant. They are often drawn with the immediate promise of camp/lesson money and the long term carrot of a paid position. The pipeline is stuffed not only with guys who have finished their college playing careers but with MiLB and MLB players who have reached the end of their playing days and don't want to leave the game and/or just don't know anything else nearly as well as they know baseball. MLB guys will often get a pass to the head of the line but everyone else has to pay their dues and it's a big club with few actual seats at the table.
