Switching committments?

Yes, no ramifications. Even the obvious ethical ones wouldn't be all that obvious. It sure would disappoint the NAIA coach though, but these things happen.

Any good coach would want what was best for a player. D1 is a better opportunity than NAIA, in most cases. I remember years back, when Coach Malcheski was still at Northwood, we were talking one day, he told me that he had just lost one of his top players to Pepperdine, he was certainly dissapointed, since the player had been with his program for a couple of years. However, in his next breath, he stated that it was a move that was in his player's best interest. I've admired the man ever since.

He's still at Northwood as the AD.

And add me to the list of those who admire Malcheski.

The most influential person in my life to date.

KG,

Yes, you are right he's still at Northwood. He lives right down the street from one of our coaches in our program, and a very good friend of mine Troy Conkle.

My son had several offers (2 D-1's) but chose a real good NAIA for this very reason. The coach there is great and the school's academic's is top notch. sometimes the education is most important.

Hey Top Shelf- can you tell us the NAIA school that your son chose?

NAIA ball is awesome! Usually at these schools the baseball team gets top or near the top billing.

I need to put a plug in here for my former coach Brad Bass who is now at Wayland Baptist in Plainview. Awesome man who had a major impact on my life. Great program out there on the high plains.

What conference is Wayland Baptist in?

Wayland plays in the Sooner Athletic Conference, one of the toughter divisions in NAIA baseball with several teams sitting at the top of the rankings. Wayland is one of those :>
