If the players have zero relationship with the head coach is it really surprising they left? It’s not like somebody forced them to leave…You’d think their head coach could convince them to stay? No? True, he had a relationship with the players, and apparently Sabo didn’t. He saw how things were going to go. He wasn’t getting his point across and how things were going to go and took Oakland up. And why leave these guys you’ve been working with and the don’t want to be there either. I can soften my stance on that episode. I can see him pointing this out to the AD and getting “But he’s Chris Sabo!!!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was critical on Banfield leaving and taking players with him. Your comments put those actions in a different light and gives me more to consider. Thanks for your thoughts. I'm not so negative towards him now and even somewhat sympathetic as I learn more about the head coach's style and character. I appreciate your post and am glad we are in the market for a new head coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate your post and am glad we are in the market for a new head coach. That’s the most important thing, we have an opportunity to go hire a real coach now and need to take advantage of it. In retrospect, imo we probably let the wrong coach leave, because that first year’s roster had lots of talent, plus other high end recruits committed (including the 2022 horizon league freshman of the year), but that’s water under the bridge. We are where we are and Guthrie needs to go get someone that can build a program. Unfortunately they’ll basically be starting from scratch, again… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spin Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 The longer the coaching search goes, the more off-season recruiting we miss. Patience... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipmeister Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 I think those in charge of hiring a new coach may be waiting for the hammer to fall in Pittsburgh so they can hire a former Zip hard-baller, K.D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current Triway coach and former Zip player & coach Sean Carmichael has died unexpectedly. Sean batted .342 during his time for our Zips (86-89). Great guy who deeply loved his family and the feeling was mutual. He will be missed. Sean's son Derek was hired by Hoban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Beals has a 568-460-1 record, 325-258-1 with tOSU (133-125 in B10 with 2 conference champs). He has experience building college baseball programs in the snow belt and has connections.

Spin Posted July 26, 2022 Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 There's been a JT Brubaker sighting. He made the SportsCenter Top Ten Plays, sort of. OK it was an outfielder making a great catch, but when you play for the Pirates, you take what you can get... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72 Roo Posted July 27, 2022 Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 Love this Pic. Whether or not it's true, he sure looks like he wants to be here and that means a lot to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
