Coach May

What a great report, and no surprise to any of us!

I like Coach May's combination of toughness and fairness. Coaches today seem like they are walking on sweet rice paper.. this guy tells us like it is.

I remember a few years ago chatting to CM one night in chat and he had just seen DK play (either on TV or at a game) and he was pretty accurate in his assesment of what he felt that DK would achieve as time went on. I thought that was pretty perceptive.

Funny thing, if I remember correctly, he didn't even know, when he was watching him, that he was my pitcher!

I know that he has sent some of his players to Clemson.

Too bad he couldn't talk his own son into Wake Forest ....

First of all it was all my pleasure to get the chance to talk to Gamers son. I had just finished watching Kyle play again. Hits a ground ball in the infield and busts his butt through the bag. He plays the game with passion. I love to watch him play. I first saw him play about three years ago. He was a little small and not very physical but he played so hard and seemed to have a feel for the game. Now Im standing there looking at this young man and he has grown up into a heck of a ball player. Strong lean and a fine young man. What a pleasure to talk to him. Gamer the pleasure was all mine.

And Midlodad my big regret is I never had the chance to recruit your son to UNC!!!

We liked UNC a lot, and it was probably our second choice to tell the truth. Especially liked Coach Fox -- what a great guy to entrust your son to for 3-4 years. Wake just felt a bit more comfortable to Midlo Son.

His mom, a diehard Wahoo, would've had a fit if he'd've become a Tar Heel, though. As for me, I'm just glad he doesn't have to wear powder blue all the time!

Now why would CM want to do something foolish like that? Jeff showed his supreme intelligence by his choice of schools. The young man has obviously gotten outstanding direction from CM and his mother.

Coach May is the epitome of what baseball and kids is all about. This man loves the game pure and simple and loves to watch kids do it the right way. When my son was deciding about schools, I made one phone call about our situation and my mind was eased with the choice my son had made, my one call was to Coach May. If a kid plays the game hard, intense, and with passion, coach may will always be his biggest fan, he is a great judge of talent, but a better judge of ballplayers. If you have never met Coach May, you should make it a point to look him up. Great Man and will talk to a wall about baseball.

Coach May, can my son come live with you . He kind of a slob and eats a lot, but he sure loves to play baseball!!

Coach May,
Mine too? Or maybe you'd like to relocate to Oregon?
