Wow, that's quite a story. Personally, at clinics I have invited coaches, parents, grandparents, the kid's weekly pitching coach and anyone who has day to day access with the kid and their softball training to attend, ask questions, heckle me from the crowd, anything. If it really is an Intellectual property thing, I think that's really sad. Sad because Mr Tincher did not invent pitching. He invented NOTHING about pitching. Neither did his "certified coach". So how can someone claim IP on something they didn't create?? If I only had a nickle for every time I had someone "steal" something I've said or taught, I'd be Bill GATES not Hillhouse. Heck, many things on YouTube were never "authorized" by me to be up there, people just do it!!
I'd be curious where you guys are from. You mentioned a Metro area.
And not becoming dependent on the pitching coach? Is he serious? Why the hell do you think UCLA has a pitching coach on staff? Or any college program? Or any MLB program? Those pitching coaches interact with the pitchers DAILY!!!!!! If I was a cynic I'd say that almost sounds like a scam for more money: A $50 lesson turns into $75 when the coach plays hard to get and parents get desperate. I absolutely hope that's not the case.
I'm thinking I should seek out one of these instructors for my own pitching development since there seems to be a secret I've gone my whole career without knowing. Maybe I can enter the 50 over division with a whole new perspective on pitching.
