not to put words in her mouth... but there's a real underlying tone to the piece basically saying "i don't like my new coach." being a friend of several softball players, i know the transition was pretty rough but i have a feeling that this year things will be much smoother and they will be better.

it seems like this year was very rough. i look for the softball team to come together in the next few years and do big things for the university.

Just curious, are the issues that she is a different personality, more of a yeller or are there more underlying issues like she can't coach, etc?

i'm not on the team so i don't speak for them, but i think a lot of it had to do with what they believed to be excessive physical training and not enough on the technical skills side. i know they run a ton. i've seen them do it. yeah you need to be fit i don't know why you need to be able to run 5 miles to play softball though. personally, i have no problems with the coach. she always seemed nice to me. but you also have to look at losing stancliff and the pitcher that went to osu (bodecker i believe). i also know there was a huge fight between a bunch of the parents and the coach after the last game of the season (was there). we'll see. i think some of this crap will get the team to play for each other and they can still find success.
