Who is watching the athletic director?

Coach Hewitt works hard year around as does several other coaches who do not have great win loss records. Waukegan is not a turn-key opporation when it comes to coaching. I know coaches who have been very excited for their season and boom, a playere is inelgible, a player moves, a player gets kicked off, or all three at once. And then there going into the toughest conference in the state with a bunch of underclassmen again. You will understand one day that coaching a great program is more than wins and losses and state championships. Oh..and dont say the basketball team either, they had two division 1 players. When was the last division 1 college athlete to come out of the softball program, probably NEVER
Good afternoon, countymounty. Been quite busy and missed your reply.
What I do know of the coach, that year after year, for as long as I can remember he has been busy trying to better the swimming program during the summer. I remember a good swimming team way back in the 80's he coached. Honestly, I haven't scruntinized his seasons, but know his program is not succeeding due to lack of effort on his part.
I hope this good man gets his "stud" players as many of our programs have, and that he can utilize his vast experience and take these kids to the next level.
I appreciate you trying to enlighten me about the difficulties of program building, something I do happen to know first hand with both recreational softball and travel softball in Waukegan. Have remained with both since I have been involved with my community, something that most involved cannot say.
At this very moment we are trying to build one program in Waukegan. If its success and its chances of succeeding as one unified program hinges upon my involvement or not, let me be the first to say, I will gladly step aside to improve the chances of our wonderful girls. They are much bigger and the game is much bigger than what I bring.
We have very talented athletes in Waukegan, and they deserve the best we can offer them.
Have a wonderful rest of your weekend.
