12u 00/01 Winter Watchlist by Louie UPDATED

[Iluvblue]

I didnt derail a thing. I just responded to a post about choosing some great coach with "Olympic" coaching experience. I then gave an example of crappy college coaches that are supposedly good because they get paid to coach.

Whether you choose to have your kid play for me or not, I could not care less.

I dont run any clinics as I dont have time, nor do I need a part time job on the side. When I was doing lessons down here in Oakdale(because I was asked to) it went to 40 kids per week in 3 weeks.

The last clinic I worked.... that would have been about a year ago when the University of Washington flew me up there to help run the base running portion of one of their clinics.

I try to talk softball EVENTS and EXPERIENCES, sorry if that upsets you, i dont really care.

My...my...Sftball Junkie...such anger

I now see that Linedrivelouie and Sftball Junkie are the same person.

That's about as accurate as your prediction that Magic should be playing 14u n just skip past these lowly 12u teams. Louie is entirely to nice of a guy for my taste. Tho I do enjoy his rankings which actually have thought behind them...

Louie= Nice Guy

Junkie = A$$ Hole

Chango= Idiot!!!!

Next time my daughter plays could I send you her schedule??? Maybe you could "Mark your Words" on the teams she plays that seems to work so well. Without you vast knowledge of 12u softball the Bucket would be at a true loss...

So you slam your kids ex coach, real cool.. good stuff

We already know that you have beaten UCLA alumni, with your base running skills. Have you ever EVER thought that just maybe the kids on the UCLA coached team were just not capable enough to play defense. Just because your a UCLA alumni coaching a team doesnt mean your team is good, and it ALSO doesnt mean your a shitty coach, so those examples mean squat. Did the UCLA Alumni/coach play defense?

Whether you choose to have your kid play for me or not, I could not care less.

And you taught 12's how to steal third on a fake bunt for three hours, Awesome!

The last clinic I worked.... that would have been about a year ago when the University of Washington flew me up there to help run the base running portion of one of their clinics.

So Washington flew you up to their campus to teach base running, this is classic stuff. So Washington does not have anyone on staff that can teach base running so they pay for a guy with zero college coaching experience and basically rec ball tactics to come up and teach their scholarship players on how to run the bases in the PAC-12, LOVE IT! No wonder CB is gone

Ive coached some really good teams, had some great success in the past and at this point, dont care about a win today(in 12u).

It's fricking amazing how your posts somehow always circle back around to you.

recreject.. it had nothing to do with me. Simply stating that wins at 12u should NOT BE important. Which unfortunately is not the case with most 12u coaches. They want that damn win so they can be on this heybucket list of top teams, or they need because their team is the best. Instead of teaching the kids to play the game the right way at the expense of getting a win.

So how is that about me... if rec rejected you, you should go find another rec league for reading skills.

[Sbstuby]

You are so wrong Blue. I have a 26 year old that went through TB. This is my second go around,my kids coaches are amazing. They teach the right way to play the game,every single kid . They should be taught to strive to win every single game they play. This is not rec ball where there is no losers . I want to thank my kids coaches .

[Iluvblue]

You are lucky you have great coaches.

I never said you shouldnt try to win every game. You absolutely should be playing to win every game... it ALWAYS matters IMO. My point was that as a coach, it will sometimes cost your team a game by going for an aggressive out in 12u, and if it does, it is ok, as it is better for the team and players in the long run. Example would be going for a lead runner at 2nd base on a sac bunt attempt to teach the kid the timing needed to execute such a play(probably one of the most difficult plays to pull off at 12u), vs just going to 1st base NO MATTER how quickly the ball gets to the third baseman.

You are absolutely trying to win the game, but that risky play could cost you an out, and in turn cost you the game. Im just sayin git is better to play like that on a Saturday or Friendly, and gaining more in the long run, then only playing it safe (and never teaching your young players) because you are too concerned with the win.
