Heck, at this point, Murphy better have them bunt a lot and just make OK. handle the ball as much as possible.
Mostly, in my day I would duck and hope it got called a ball.
LOL That's awesome.
Oh man SB! I thought you wrote it! I thought what is wrong with this guy!
We agree!? College coaches tamper with swings for a very simple reason, IMO. Most of them (not all, I think Lotief, Enquist, Candrea, and Pat Murphy have at least a vague idea) haven't the slightest idea how to make small modifications to anything that even slightly resembles a good swing in order to get a player "in the pattern/sequence". So what do they do? They teach something that they KNOW how to modify. And quite simply, that something is the "knob to the ball, push through contact" linear.
So they teach it. And then they complain when their hitters can't hit.
Ah! First cut missing some parts. I remember now.
Yes ... sort of taken out of context. Some folks do that ... go figure.
The way I read the original post, at least within the context of the discussion that was taking place, is that Pat Murphy was being held above many D1 coaches in terms of what he teaches.
Yea, he was given the glowing endorsement of having "at least a vague idea"
