Mike Smith

[Gone in 2.6]

Pehaps the fact that it is a Pitching coach giving lessons in a warehouse vs the head of a whole organization

So that makes it more OK and less news worthy of discussion.

No I was only giving a reason why it may be being discussed less. He is not as well known a figure as CF.
Don't know where you got that I think it is "more OK"

Speaking of CF, whatever became of him?

Any updates on his court case

[Skarp]

With so many Mike Smiths in So Cal softball, its hard to keep track. This is also not the Mike Smith that was one time coach at Cal Baptist, now McNeese State, wanted to be UC Riverside head coach.

Was the Mike Smith involved once associated with the Minors Gold organization, and now an independent pitching coach?

Yes!

To the second part of the OP, that helps explain why there wasn't a protracted bashing like in other cases. He was very close to many on here and was well connected in the So Cal softball community. Hard to bash a friend/acquaintance when many find it hard to believe what he is accused of. It's easy to jump on the band wagon when you don't know the accused.

Which was exactly the same situation with the TNL coach. Those that were close and found it hard to believe however there were the others who bashed and told the ones that found it hard to believe that they were in denial, bad parents. etc. Just curious why in this situation the thread completely stopped and then what had happened.

The TNL parents brought the bashing on themselves.

So I have not followed this close, was it just one person or more?

[Baller]

Apparently just one, but as we all know, that's too many!

How did you get that there is just one. Just curious?
