I want a relatively proven pitching coach (we can't afford a crazy established one)... but not someone brand new who was just a student athlete of ours. Is Spaulding even coaching anymore? She bounced around a lot as a pitching coach and was an interim head coach at Redlands... but I don't know anything past that.

There is some smoke around the Marist pitching coach. We could probably pick her up for a reasonable sum and her team made NCAAs this year. They also performed well when they played the Heels this year.
Are you sure you’re talking about Marist? We run ruled them twice and their pitching coach is only in her first year. We can afford a coach with more experience. Holub was making the same as CL … about $85k. The rest of the assistants were in the $45-$55 range.

UVA has the third lowest era in the ACC this season and online it shows their pitching coach salary mid 50s

ACC softball slowly climbing it seems-we are anyway. Long way to go but you get a great pitcher somehow and you never know

Heartbreaking for FSU... they lost 4-2 but had 3 runs wiped away because a runner on second left the bag half a second early... she wasn't even trying to steal... it was just taking the lead after the pitch.

It's ridiculous that one of the best colleges in the nation for women's sports can't field top-20 softball and volleyball programs.

Yeah, I agree but it comes down to the money. Until the teams in the ACC invest money into women's softball, these are the results we as a conference will continue to see moving forward.

We have great hitters, etc. I just hope coach can bring in an outstanding pitching coach. She is bringing in pitchers but we all know if we can fix this problem, this team will be going to another level. Go Heels!
