 I am simple minded, so my writing skills are not great.

 

I think you’ve misunderstood. I wasn’t looking for the name of a coach, but rather for the name of a team.

 

To tell the truth, just going by what you’ve written, I’m guessing the coach was having some fun at the player’s expense, and not someone who believed in not running out hit balls. But then again, I wasn’t there and without being either the player being hollered at or the coach doing the hollering, I don’t know. It’s just extremely difficult for me to believe there are actually college coaches who wouldn’t be extremely happy if every one of their players went 100% on every ball they put into play.
