As a follow up to my earlier note:

Son's 2006 HS team, with head coach tightly controlling all pitch calling, made the playoffs for the first time in school history.

Coach left to go to another school (just for family reasons) after that season. New coach let the experienced pitchers and catchers control all pitch calling. The team started 19-0, won the state AAA title, and finished in Baseball America's top 10. The next year, they won another state title and finished I think in BA's top 50.

My guess is the 2006 coach thought he was doing a good job and that the results bore him out.. Watching the games, the pitch calling always made me cringe. I still think he held the team back. The new head coach has made a perennial contender of the program.
