Hopefully her coaches can see beyond their own egos and let her be.
The bummer is that I think it goes beyond egos. In most cases, coaches truly believe a kid could benefit from "better mechanics." They know they have "better knowledge" and believe the kid's mechanics are substandard--even if performance might suggest otherwise. When they believe a kid has faulty mechanics and the kid, parent, etc, disagrees--it makes it frustrating to them that they won't listen. I think that's where the ego gets a little bruised and the circle time could be affected. It's a matter of perspective and they can reference D1 coaches, pitchers, DVD's and Youtube videos everywhere to back them up.
By my estimation, maybe 10% of PC's and coaches who work with pitchers understand whip. If the vast majority of folks believe one way, your way is going to be tough to impose on them. Be as diplomatic as possible, smile and nod, and don't rule out the chance you may need to pursue other options if they're available. If you're stuck with an unbending HS/TB/Rec coach, and moving to another team is not an option; it hopefully doesn't result in the worst-case scenario: the loss of a kid's dream.
