If you remember I am an assistant coach on a 14u team this year. The HC and I do not see eye to eye on how things should run, but he is the HC so I try to let him run his team his way. There is something he does that I just don't understand.
When a girl makes a play, and gets an out. He will often tell her how she could have, and should do it better in the future. For instance, the pitcher covering on a bunt. She rakes the ball into her glove with both hands and makes the throw getting the runner by 2 steps. He will tell her nice play but next time use the bare hand. Third base makes a great stop, scramble to her feet and throws a rocket to first, and he will say. Nice play but get the throw a little lower so firstbase doesn't have to reach. But if a routine pop fly that the second baseman is camped under pops out of her mitt, he says Nice try. He does this all the time, tells the girls who made an error nice try but corrects those who make outs.
Again, I am not realy looking for why he thinks the way he does. I just need to say it out loud to see if anyone has seen this before
