    We've won 3 of the last 4 AAC Conference Titles.   I didn't make an excuse, I stated a fact.  So I guess I'm not clear.  Should he be coaching better because he is the National Team/Olympic coach or should we be getting better players?

    I feel like he should be getting better players because of coaching the national team.

    There hasn't been a nonP5 team in the Softball World Series Finals since 1998.  My guess is if Eriksen coached at the University of Florida, he'd have some WS championships on his resume

    If we had been the best G5 team for the past several years, then I might give him a pass.  Just to be clear, this is just my opinion.  I'm sure there's a reason for it, but just being G5 is not a valid excuse IMO based on his stature in women's softball.

    I guess so.  We had zero tournament appearances prior to him coming here in 1996.   It also appears I was wrong, we have 2 Super Regional Appearances.

    I would love to hear an explanation as to how the teams performance under Eriksen is considered average

    I wouldn't say average.  Like I said, based on his stature, I expected a little more.

    His record here is 976-502-1 (.660) overall and 285-135 (.679) in conference with 14 regional appearances (1 Super and 1 World Series).  That  seems like more than "moderate" success to me

    Then our definition of, "moderate" is different and that's okay.  i just would have expected more from the US Olympic team coach.  I'm not suggesting that we get rid of him or anything like that.

    Is the coach the only one involved in picking the players?  If not, that could explain it not mattering to the players. Otherwise you would think they'd like to impress him by being on his college team.

    I was thinking more along the lines of, "Wow, he coaches the US Olympic team.  He must be a great coach to play for" or something along those lines.

    I learned something about recruiting on Wed

    Some of you guys may already know this, but I got talking with a Recruiting Coordinator (or some such title) that we just hired from Lakeland High.  He is not an on field coach. And because of that we can't sign anyone from Lakeland for 2 years.  I guess that is to prevent the Gus Gilchrist situation.

    I had read that somewhere right after we hired him.

    anyone live in tampa

    I was born and raised there.  Now I live in Bradenton so I get up there a lot.  More when my son was an undergrad at USF.  The growth is unreal, but they still were able to maintain a soul, unlike the town the mouse built to the northeast.
