In every situation in life there comes times of achieving goals that are attainable and you only have X number of times to achieve those goals. This being said you have got to have and I mean must have leadership at the top of any organization or team to be able to elevate the mental and physical abilities of your organization or team to perform. In every single sport at our beloved University we do not have that leadership ability, we have seen it in football with the UAB debacle several years back, we have seen it in basketball with the BYU debacle at the Greenhouse, and more than any sport we have seen it with baseball over and over and over again. Of all the sports mentioned baseball is the one sport that goals can be attained on a more frequent basis because we are not as far behind in facilities and talent, however if you don't have motivators and the right leaders at the top then you always and I mean always slide right back to the middle of the pack as being average. Leadership and Coaches define poor, average and good we are and have been for years average. We as fans think in some of these years that our teams are actually good and we are when there is no pressure and the spotlight is not directly on us but when the SPOTLIGHT is directly on us that's when Coaching abilities really are seen and that is our achilles heal we don't have that type of leadership. There is no doubt in my mind Scott Berry is a likeable and good person and I think he is one hell of a good Assistant Coach but he has proven he can't motivate in pressure situations over and over again. He has had years of extreme talent and can't garner chemistry on the team, he has had years of great pitching and can't motivate the team to hit for a decent average, he has had years of good hitters and can't motivate a pitching staff to not hit and walk batters. Most naysayers say he can't make the players perform that it's not his fault I say hogwash it is on him. When you constantly have a lineup that is never tweaked unless of an injury and you never let a player that is in a slump sit a few games that is on you Scott Berry and when you keep putting a pitcher in and letting him stay 2 or 3 or 4 batters too long that is on you Scott Berry and when you keep playing a player that is a senior that is struggling in the field and at the plate rather than an underclassman that is on you Scott Berry and finally when you can't at crunch time when the SPOTLIGHT is on playing a under 500 team have a sitdown with your team and motivate a better performance than what was witnessed at FIU that DIRECTLY is on you Scott Berry.
