State of NCSU baseball
So it looks like today is my day to talk about baseball. Here is a great article on Tom Holliday, the new assistant head coach for NC State. The amazing thing is that Holliday would rather be the assistant head coach at NC State then be the head coach of any other school, because I am sure any other school would take him in a second if he showed an interest in managing their team. Not only has he been to Omaha 14 times and won the college world series twice, but he is leaving a pitching coach position at Texas in which he won the Championship in 2005 and came in second in 2004. He also won the 2005 National College Pitching Coach of the Year award.
As the article talks about, Holliday’s biggest strength is his ability to recruit. NC State needs that since they are sending players to pro ball at a record pace(eight players drafted this past season), and it will be exciting to see who he brings in. State’s first game is February 9th so I only have a little more then two months to wait!
