What you had in softball....


was the poster boy for the VT down the hall hire mentality. This is not a criticism of Coach Thomas. Guy took the job and ran with it building the program from the ground up. He had some strengths and some weaknesses. He recognized the Vancouver pipeline early and he caught lightning in a bottle when AT fell in his lap. However, he was set in his ways, did not really ever get out of his comfort zone to adapt to changes in the game and most importantly did not raise the level of play in a lot of his roster. He deserves kudos for building the program and for his loyalty but, it was time for some new blood.
