Philpot is a good coach. He’s won a lot of baseball games there. He’s also had a lot of good talent come through that school as it always does. But for a first time coach to be as consistent and have the tenure and length he’s done so far has been really good.

Shope had to come to Whitley and build. He was always going to have to take 3-4 years to turn a program around. That’s why you can’t just fire a guy after a year or two in baseball. Shope built it and it’s paying off in a big way. They lost a lot of talent off that team last year and everybody is throwing their best at them and they’re still having a pretty good year and are starting to shape up.
