Re: WT Softball
I've been informed that Mook lives and breathes softball. His specialty is coaching pitchers. I expect his initial recruiting will take more of a national approach. Expect some great recruits from up north that he was already on to come south to Canyon. A JUCO AA pitcher is coming in this weekend. I hope she likes WT. Someone reminded me that several of WT's AA's have not been Texas kids.
11am Friday press conference and opportunity to meet Mook.

I'm glad to hear pitching is a high priority for him. That will be something new for WT.

Re: WT Softball
It looks like he was at Augustana for a long time, successfully working with their pitchers. That's good to know.

BTW - names don't win games
It was a REAL question.
It is common knowledge that NAIA programs are about equal to NCAA DIII (talent & program wise....players & coaches).
I am very curious to know who, if anyone, has successfully moved from NAIA to NCAA DII and had a program compete at a national level.......in any major sport. Do you know?Last edited by ASUPops; 06-22-2019, 11:33 PM.

Re: WT Softball
You just made my point - you named players, not coaches.
Coaches don't win games - players do.
If you will notice he was the top assistant coach at DII Augustana, for 6 years, where he was in charge of recruiting and coaching pitchers.
Would it have been a better hire had he come straight to Wt from Augustana??
It's unrealistic to think no one has ever made the move from NAIA to DII and had success. My knowledge of DII is limited to the LSC.
So I can't answer that question. However, if you will watch you'll see it happen with Wt softball.
