So what your saying is the best kids are playing? Yes I have seen them play looks like a knot hole team. I wish the kids the best always have but Highlands will never have a good team under B . so what you all are saying is give this man all the time in the world to turn this program around ? How long is to long ? how many loses will it take? I'm glade we have few new members on here that like Highlands Baseball . this is the best site for high school sports you can say whats on your mind without getting banned like that other site .I'm sure he's a nice guy but to me he's not a good high school varsity coach maybe a good JV coach or Freshman .No I have no dog in this fight but know a lot of the kids that play and they deserve better.

I think that is a question that administrators all over the country try to answer every year? In my opinion, and i've seen it first hand, you atleast have to give the new coach time to get his own players thru the system. Most of the players your first year will be divided from the previous coach or somebody else they think should be the coach? The next year you'll have somewhat of the same problem depending on your record and acheivments of the previous season. The bottomline is until you get a group of players that you have develop on your own and who are all buying into your system, it is hard to tell what you are really capable of? I say atleast 3-5 years, possibly shorter than that if the school has a lot of tradition?

Perhaps that also has something to do with him going down and getting those middle schoolers? He may be trying to find his own players that he can develop and that he knows will buy into what he's doing? It's better to be objective in this, and I know that is very difficult at times, but it's the only way you can be rational.
