We had a big name college coach who was supposed to coach a team and he pulled out and wasn't able to commit due to his busy schedule of running a college program.
I think it is all smoke and mirrors. if they use a big name, then everyone thinks they will be a key part of the program but truth is that they don't have the time to get very hands on with the program. Our guy didn't show up to one tournament due to coaching and recruiting responsibilities.
I believe that is why they take on the title of director and they have others in the program really running things.
Guess if a program is willing to offer enough money even reputable coaches will take it. Guess that's why when all is said and done that program will end up costing WELL IN EXCESS of $2,000....and that's before all the travel and other expenses. Since they don't know which showcases they are doing yet will there be any a la carte tournament fees like some of the other programs have? $1,750 for 4 or 5 tournaments, (probably including a few Blue and Gold events)and 10-12 practices doesn't sound like a bargain, and you have to pay extra for fall and winter......really?
