I agree on the pitching.  I suppose one could ask how good a (coach) our pitching coach is?  Certainly a more than fine player.  I thought Hollowell was an outstanding pitching coach, but she left the game.  Still, we were attending games when she was coaching and thought that was the best pitching of the last 10 years.

What I actually thought was the great benefit of the WS run was that it was under Lowe and not Candrea.  His current office is just across the hall from hers, although I doubt he is in all that often.

The transfer of power when a great coach retires - in basketball, softball or otherwise - is always fascinating.    At Arizona, the next interesting coaching change will probably be volleyball - not that Rubio is "great" by any means, but he has provided solid coaching for so long that it will be a major transition.  At Rutgers, it is the new WBB coach, who was left with, well, pretty much nothing.  In Women's Basketball, there is also the transition at Texas A&M and Arizona State that involve successful coaches retiring.  Always interesting.
