Dooms,
They may consider it a part-time job, but my son plays and they start before school starts in the fall and continue until 2-3 weeks after school ends in May, not to mention summer recruiting. The only time they are shut down is November-December....sounds like full-time hours to me.

The only time they are shut down is November-December....sounds like full-time hours to me. i'm only "assuming" its a part time job, i don't know that to be a fact. nonetheless, what in the world are aggie baseball players doing through the fall and winter that requires a coach to be involved? i'm certain the ncaa places limitations on how much ncaa baseball teams can conduct supervised practices during the offseason. if you're referring to individual workouts, all college athletes have unsupervised individual workouts. so what's there for a head baseball coach to do september thru january? there's no reason for the head baseball coach to be on campus 8 hours per day during that timeframe... |

Wow... no wonder the baseball team doesn't get support. You don't think the kids need to be coached. Baseball is a skill sport! if you really believe the head coach of a division 1 team is part time you might as well drop the program.

Baseball is a skill sport! if you really believe the head coach of a division 1 team is part time you might as well drop the program. then please educate me. tell me why its necessary for an aggie head baseball coach to be on campus 8 hours a day from september to january? now, i'm assuming he doesn't teach or supervise. so how is there 8 hours per day worth of baseball specific work from september to january? now i'll confess, i don't know jack about baseball except for the basics. but i honestly don't see an 8 hours a day workload from september to january for an aggie baseball coach. i could see working part time from september to january, but not full time. again, please educate me. please explain why its necessary for an aggie baseball coach to work 8 hour days (solely on baseball) from september to january? |

They coach just like every other sport. Would you have the football coach be there less..volleyball less basketball...can't they just play pick up ball. No kids need to be taught the game.

No kids need to be taught the game. football coaching is by far more complex than baseball. i mean, just for starters, the football coach has in the neighborhood of 100 football players that he has to academically monitor, train, and recruit. baseball is nowhere near that. basketball coaches have fall semester and spring semester activity that requires them to be on the job full time. track and field does too. but i really don't see a necessity to have a baseball coach on the job full time throughout the entire school year. nor do i see it for volleyball either. just my opinion, i don't know the facts... |

It's called Fall Ball. The NCAA allows X amount of days for practice in the fall. You can even play some exhibition games if you like, but they must be deducted from your total season games. |

I am pretty sure the baseball coach monitors academics, recruit and train his players to... Around 35 to my knowledge and doesn't have the size staff of football. Again all college coaches do these things to say baseball doesn't again shows why we are behind.

The baseball coach DOES have to monitor academics, train, recruit as well as run infield/outfield drills, teach set plays, situational plays, work with pitchers, work with players on conditioning, hitting. And they do have fall ball as well. In addition, baseball plays approx. 60 games in the spring. All this, with one paid asst. coach. I think it is definitely a full-time job and those who think football is a much more complex sport, should come check out our Aggie Baseball team. We could use some school support.

Austin Love (Still recruiting and signing), Olen Parker (former Grambling assist), and Terrance Whittle (Elizabeth City HC and NCAA Baseball Division II Committee member) are the only coaches to interview that I'm aware of. Joel Sanchez (former Bethune Cookman coach pitching coach) may be in the mix but no confirmation on that. He's been in the mix for each HBCU position he's been interviewed for.

Should we assume that the interviews are done? Should we expect a coach to be named anytime soon? just curious. |
