    gonzo & aj are right on...

    But the conversation must take place in advance - don't catch him by surprise in the middle of a game.... that won't accomplish anything but create hard feelings on both sides.

    Layout your expectations of his responsibilities as the coach and once you reach agreement, let him coach and you just be the cheerleader for the team.

    Applejack,

    I have read that you went to Spartanburg Methodist and they are one of my top choices for colleges. I just dont really know what to do because i am a senior right now, and i am getting good looks from really good D2 schools and some semi good D1 schools. My problem is that the offers that have been put up to me are their but they want decisions soon, but i want to wait till Spartanburg comes around and see what they say. Also finacially I dont know if Spartanburg would be as good for me as the D2 schools because of the really good offers that i have gotten.

    Was you faced by the same problems. What kind of fasique did you have. Some Scouts want me to go juco but scouts tell alot of players to go juco and they just go and nothing happens. I think i do have a chance to play in the majors some day and its my dream. I stand 6ft 4 and only weigh 168. I throw mid to upper 80s. My question is, did you face similar choices when you were in highschool?

    Yes, I was fortunate enough to have several choices when I was coming out of high school.
    My advice to you is to weigh your options very carefully and figure out what will be best for you in the long run.
    If I were coming out of high school today I think that i would still go to Spartanburg Methodist. It's simply a baseball factory.
    I know that financially it may not look like the best option but if Coach Wallace is really interested he will find ways to help you and your family support your financial needs.
    Work study, academic scholarships etc...
    SMC does not have the financial backing to give many scholarships so they normally give partials and work through it.
    Send me a PM and I'll contact coach Wallace to see just how interested he is and I can further advise you after our conversation.
