That is a very high % of D1 colleges making changes. I don't believe that that is an unusual amount of changes so it shows that there is a fair risk in coaches who recruit you not being there for the 4 years you are at the college. Also the change in HC usually means the other coaches go as well. I see one change on the list that effected my friends 3 roommates 3 years ago. He sent them packing and now he is gone. Coach change is a much bigger factor than most realize.

Thompson was hired at HPU, then offered the pitching coach position at one of the SEC schools...and he took that, with HPU's blessings, I understand, so he could be near his ill father. It all appears to have been above board.

If we made the coach sit a year, what would be next. Maybe reducing his salary(scholarship) a the end of the year for new incoming coach, then reducing his coaching time in half or maybe even redshirting him?
