HIring just a coach, who coaches up players, and thats it really dont work now. Coaches have to be CEO for their program, have a huge player development team, that recruit both the portal inventory (before they annouce) and recruits, be able to value their skills, manage a nil and portal program, as well as solicit investors/donors who are willing to invest and see a return on their investment, while coach a great team that competes with the best, and push a program that solicits an amazing fan attendance and interest.

in one game. BC is a good team. Where we’ve fallen down big time is recruiting.

of 16 teams that play baseball in the ACC. Maybe BC will win the CWS this year, but we are still a poor and underperforming team that makes more mental mistakes than any 5 ACC teams.

One would think that every VT player has been schooled on basic fundamentals since grade school, but it doesn't appear to be the case. Because of that, our coaches should drill fundamentals into our players everyday in practice. Fundamentals should be a reaction, not something they have to think about on the field or on the base path.

Coppin State 38-6 after scoring 20 runs in the first inning.

But BC has fielded some decent teams over the years, moreso than VT.

brainless plays and a few of those series could have easily been 2-1. ;-)
