Former Great Bridge Coach Headed to College

Wondered how long that would take. What a great fit and what an even better pick up for NSU. Good luck Coach.

How is it a great fit? I'm just curious.

The stepping stone to the next level is always a great opportunity! He gets to stay close to home and coach at the D1 level! Many people should envy that, including you Redbird! Good luck to Wiley Lee!

I am happy for Wiley. Why should I envy it?

Do you question that it is a great fit? Why?

Redbird,
You should be envious because:

Right now you would be ON a field preparing to COACH a game instead of being on a highschool baseball blog!!!!!

Off to the game....wishing I could be on the other side of the fence! I am not too proud to be envious!!

I get my fill of coaching during the summer and fall.

A man simply asks you to expound on your posting, and he gets accused of being an envious hater. Rough crowd.

As an attorney you should realize many questions are never simple, there is always a reason. Envious was my opinion and my opinion is also that most people who love baseball would also love to make their entire income from being involved in the sport; therefore, envious.
I think it is absolutely wonderful that a local high school coach that gets a stipend for coaching baseball has the opportunity to make it a career.

Anybody can have a hobby and most people with a hobby would love to be paid for it!

Good Job Coach Lee!

Off to a game!

Redbird et al, Sorry, been busy and have not paid attention to HSBW and all the fuss. Two years ago I made the comment that raised the ire of a couple of HSBW Old Timers (I am not mentioning any names at the risk of doing so again) by posting (my opinion) that I thought Coach Clark was doing a better job of recruiting the local talent than (then) ODU Coach...Coach Meyers. That is not the case with Coach Finwood, as more than a few local players have committed to play at ODU from the 2012 and 2013 class (as many on this website have read). Therefore, the "good fit" I was referring too...(and was nothing more than modestly saying) that tactically the move makes sense for Norfolk State and Coach Clark. Coach Lee is a known commodity in the Tidewater and is well respected (at least) on the Southside. If the position should become permanent, I believe that Coach Lee will be able to help the recruiting effort for NSU to get players who might otherwise be drawn to ODU to play baseball. Just my opinion.

Mathews41,

Thanks for your response. It was thoughtful and I agree with you, despite accusations of a hidden agenda.

I also agreed with your thoughts on Coach Myers being out recruited locally.

Great baseball pedigree and good man. I think this is awesome for NSU but as much as it pains me to say, I think having his son on the team is going to bring some scrutiny, warranted or not, somebody is always going to percieve favoritism ect. Good luck To Coach Clark and the rest of the NSU staff.
