What happened here, heard nothing but good things about Coach Shelton. Where did he go?

He was the hitting coach, correct? This does not make any sense, why did he leave?

Don't know where he went. If he went to a D1, The college baseball blog will probably note it in a story. If he went to another division, there's not telling how you'd find out other than to contact the head coach at VMI. Asst. coaches move around quite often in college baseball, it's more common than not.

My sons HC told me he feels its his job to train his asst. coaches for their next coaching job.
I do not have enough toes and fingers to count all the ASST Coaches I have known thru the years that are now Head Coaches at major programs.

Asst Coaches leave for two main reasons:

01--they get a chance somewhere else which moves them up the ladder another rung or two towards their goal of being a head coach
02--the Head Coach left the program and the new guy used a broom to bring in his own coaches

I've tried to "google" his name and nothing is coming up. I remember coaching at SU in 2005 and Coach Shelton was at Ferrum, seemed like a real likable individual from the impression that I had. I was always impressed with Ferrum's teams under the direction of Coach Naff.

If anyone finds out where Coach Shelty ends up, please post.
