I’ve played and coached in athletics my entire life, basically my career in physical education. I remember when it wasn’t the NCAA, it was the AIAW and Title IX was just becoming law. When I first interviewed for jobs, I can’t tell you how many I was over qualified, but they were looking for a football coach, of which I could have done, but I wanted to coach girls’ bb.

This trans bs will kill women’s sports, of which many of us, fought so long and hard to get. Prob too much for baseball forum, should be political, I’m finished with my rant. Staley should know better, I’m disappointed in her.

A post-game response:

Thank you for sharing what you did. You made your way during "interesting" times. Your story takes a "political" issue (everything is political now--by design) and re-humanizes it. We all need to hear that!

This needs to be about the millions of females (of all ages, worldwide) who dreamed and worked to make dreams reality. Yes, Title IX got criticized, but more for how poorly it was administered on rollout than the inherent justice in expanding opportunities. But some agendas are better served by the reaction than the actual changes.

We all need to fight this, but we also need to consider that "created, hot-button" issues are often intended to distract us from larger freedom and justice issues that effect every person, regardless of political preferences.

A famous/infamous, very successful influencer used to say, "Fight absurdity with absurdity." If that's still true, then maybe responses like this new show will prove effective. For sure, we need to find laughs between battles to win the war.

I would love to know from all these, Coach Anderson haters who they would consider the top pitching coaches in the nation. Please don’t tell me it is Wake Forest because they’re pitching Staff is getting destroyed except for the one pitcher that Frank sent their way. Problem with Pitching today is that the only way you get drafted is to throw really hard whether you or not They are looking for throwers not pitchers so with that, guys are more worried about throwing hard than developing the ability to pitch and throw strikes

Haven’t seen a single person say they hate CFA. Questioning his coaching and being critical of his temper tantrums certainly does not denote hate.

I don't know anything about Auburn's pitching staff. Did they go all in last night with the best arms after the starter was pulled so early?

Certainly, not a lot of folks and none have used the word hate. My feeling is there are a few folks that might not understand what’s happening on Fridays, maybe don’t know his history and they are questioning why some us say “in CFA I trust”.

That’s okay. Only showing up when things are bad is kinda lame, but that comes with the territory I suppose.

At this moment in time, of the Big 4, we’re the only one playing meaningful games, so, just how it goes.

Sorry. My terminology is if you don't like you hate. That is just me. You either like or hate so if you don't like his coaching style or philosophies you hate them. That in my terminology makes you a hater. So many on here want to talk bad about players and coaches and think that it does not come across bad. I don't agree with everyone's coaching, lifestyle choices, and on and on but I don't feel the need to get on a message board and talk bad about them. If I do, then I don't mind being called a hater.
I don't agree with every coach's philosophy but when they are successful with it then I know it works. You can't have the successful pitchers that he has had and not be successful. You may not like his philosophy but unless you are better then how can you question it. He has had 95 players drafted and 14 first rounders so that is pretty good. You can say he doesn't teach but you can't tell me all of those were great when he got them. It would be like me questioning a very successful businessman. I won't because they have done something I can't/haven't. He can't be horrible yesterday and great today just because of the results of the pitchers. You can talk about and teach anything but it is up to the players to carry it out. I think you have to look at the full picture of work and not a pitch, inning, outing or even year for a coach. I don't see how anyone can argue with his and Tony's success over the past several years or for him his career. Just my thoughts. So yes, I am a hater also just not of him but those who trash him. And I know some of you will say I'm not trashing but when you talk bad about someone that is trashing them in my vocabulary. I would love to see how some of you would respond if you were face to face with Frank or any of the players you guys talk bad about at times.

I mostly agree. I can also see the more nuanced arguments like “he’s good with crafty pitchers and maybe not as good with power pitchers.”

I do not agree with the sentiment, nor do I pretend to understand an individual criticism of someone with the track record CFA has.

But…I don’t take it as hate, I think it’s frustration in the moment…which subsides as opposed to hate, which lingers or is permanent.

GBO!!!

Public Service Announcement:

Don't go over to the Women's Basketball Coaching Search thread--they've got the cyber-mattresses on fire and they're throwing gasoline at each other! It's like the text version of a Waffle House parking lot at 3am--in Memphis!
