I didn't get that. But I think he conveyed his admiration for the program and the history adequately. He WANTS to be here. He interviewed at Auburn. I PROMISE you Oklahoma was (is) interested in him. He wants to be HERE. That's all I need to know. -
Thats the feeling that I get also. He said he wanted to be an older head coach and he said his mother told him to have patience and wait. The interview could not have gone better if it had been scripted. HCTB's answers to questions were forthright and seemed very sincere. When asked about BK he said "Lets go back to GS one more time...GS is the 2nd most wins coach in college baseball..BK has been the pitching coach for 30 odd years so he had something to do with all those wins. BK is the best college baseball pitching coach." I like the fact that he will remain committed to recruiting even though he is the HC. I also like the statement that he was impressed with all of the all americans that preceeded his time here but was equally impressed with the academic all americans and promised to continue that as well. Seems like we got what we wanted even if we didn't know it at the time. Time will tell but I feel REALLY good about Todd Butler.Originally posted by WuDrWu View PostComment

If you count a couple of the guys who were hired twice as different coaches, that looks right: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wichita...ckers_baseballOriginally posted by ShockerPrez View PostThere are nights when I think that Sal Paradise was right.Comment

I liked a lot of what Butler had to say. He had the right answers and you could tell he has a passion and deep desire. That is good.
Being nitpicky, my one question mark was that it appeared he wanted to emphasize more on pitching and small ball. I guess hitting, our obvious weak spot, will just come along?
Other than that, it did get me excited about the future of Shocker baseball.Deuces Valley.
... No really, deuces.

I think the small ball comment is related to the newer bats putting out less homerunsComment
