My son's HC is in the D1 HOF. We met and spoke with him during the recruitment stage but once after son started attending college we left it up to son for communication. It was during freshman season, we were staying at the team hotel for away series. At breakfast I noticed the HC and 3 assistant coaches sitting a few tables away. The coaches noticed we were there, and within a few minutes he and an asst coach brought their breakfast over and joined us at our table. Basically they just wanted to formally introduce themselves and asked if we had any questions or concerns regarding the program and how college life was for son. Chatted for a long time, mostly nothing about baseball or the team. That opened the door for a wonderful relationship, so much so that he used to call me every now and then asking for my "professional advice" on questions he had pertaining to my occupation. Basically I agree to let son handle all communications directly though.
