RR,
I do not disagree with you, however there are many factors that determine how a coach feels.

My son didn't pitch this summer, he put in a lot of time on the mound for an ACC freshman pitcher. He pitched while others didn't, that was what made the decision. If he went to the cape, he would not have been able to put in anymore than 30 innings. We thought it only fair for a freshman who didn';t pitch as much to get more time in.
After a few weeks of rest (he played up until mid-june), he hit the gym for conditioning, running and then began his long toss program in August and ready for bull pen Aug 24th. The only thing he didn't do was "pitch". If he had gone to the cape, he would have had to limit innings in fall practice, instuction and bull pens.
