I'm wondering why this release is only showing on the Softball page and not on the main athletics site. Notice that this is not a resignation, which should tell you something about the result of the investigation...

Hallway conversation with a college coach; "I wish that our players could be in our heads for one week...just to know how much we care about them, are thinking about them and are 100% focused on how to make their experience better. That's it. That's what I do."

Say what you will about expectations of winning. 1300 games, 26 years deserves better treatment. My response is not just how
@Coach_Jo_Evans
is a good person and great friend to many, but that she, as a human, deserves more.

I do not know what happened, but this is a textbook release for something more like: "Someone didn't like this Coach, complained to the right person, and so this championship program no longer has the person who cared most about it."

A year ago people were saying "You guys will be happy just to play a game next year,". Nope, once the games start there is no JUST. The game deserves your best, and that means trying to win, among other things.

I think I'm gonna start posting "signing days" when kids take jobs, get into grad school or get killer internships. I'm just wondering why we celebrate 16 and 17 year olds so much more than we celebrate 22 and 23-year-olds?

Should it make me so happy to have a player ask, for no reason, "how are YOU doing, Coach?"
It does. Thank you for asking.

You, Coach, cannot do it all. Even if you ID your "all" in great detail (recommended), you still can't do it all. Coaching is not a to-do list and if it was it could be an infinite list. Do your best. Accept your best effort.

Coach Johnson was "put on leave"in March. We wrote this letter in May. An investigation started in the spring. It's been 150 days since anyone officially involved with the case has contacted Coach J. How is that not mistreatment?

I agree that the offseason is a good time to get work done (players and coaches), but it's also a great time to take some deep breaths, enjoy your people and take a high level look at who you are & what you want to be. Enjoy life. Now.

I find that recruits who say some version of "sorry for ____, but I'm so busy doing all the cool things I'm into that I didn't have time to do the foundational thing you asked me to do," are not likely to be able to do the foundational things in College either. Agree?

Taking time, not to make myself whole after a "crazy year" but to give myself the gift of time. For me. Making things "better" does not require being in a bad place. I usually start with a simple deep breath.

As the last sport wraps up for Eph teams this year, I want to say a big thanks to the Coaches who are the engine (and the wheels, windshields, gasoline, bumper stickers...) that makes the programs and teams run. I am lucky to be among some great ones here in the 413!

Heartbreaking for sure. Thirty-four years in and the end of a season, no matter how short, always wrenches my heart. Still: shows how lucky we are, the privilege to be this sad for this reason.

Practice, lifting, lunch, class, taking a walk, having ☕ or 🍦, raking leaves, practice, bullpens, agility work, study sessions... all of these things are team bonding. Team bonding does not need its own category, not time slot.

I think it would be fun if prospective players sent me a lowlight reel occasionally.
I think seeing a kid struggle would be informative in a few ways and just like highlights, there's no need to send everything, just give me a taste of what your misses are like.

Three observations after a weekend of watching travel softball players, coaches and parents in action (or not in action):
