Kathy Riley specialized in "coaching up" her recruits
Being local everytime I road by the softball field there would be a player or two working out with individual coaching - by the head coach herself, Kathy Riley. She did not delegate this task to her assistants. She was a hitting expert and offered a job to follow Mickey Dean to Auburn as an assistant when he got that job a couple of years ago. She is in the ECU sports Hall of Fame where she played softball and basketball. She is a top evaluator of talent and yes she benefited from signing some players the larger schools overlooked. She will be missed at Longwood.
