I "second" your question.
Personally, based on our experience and conversations with coaches, we KNOW there are some darn good pitching coaches that are far from the top-20 level. Our son will tell you that he has one of, if not THE, best pitching coach in the country and UCR is not (yet ... ) a top-20 program. But his coach is excellent.
I think that the bottom line is what Dad04 said
quote:
There are positives and negatives to both options, like $cholarship, draft round, college coach, team drafting, the academic abilities of the player, that must be weighed to make the best decision for that particular player.
At least in choosing a college, if things go well, you are more involved in "picking" who is coaching you. In the pros, you get what they have.
