<p>Is anyone familiar with the coach at HC? We have heard some bad things and have not been impressed by his demeanor - Looking to know if anyone has experience with him and if this is the way Holy Cross is.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>All I know is that they beat BC yesterday.</p>
<p>ipaytuition,</p>
<p>Truth be told, you only really know about a program until you’re in it. I would caution you about the source of complaints coming from any college baseball program. There are always going to be unhappy players or parents when you have a roster of 35 and only 9 positions on the field. I would urge you to go watch some Spring games or practices to form your own opinion. If your son is being recruited by Holy Cross, I would have your son ask some diplomatic questions of the Head Coach. It is in your best interest to determine if HC is a program for you so you can pursue it, or cross it off the list and go to the next school.</p>
<p>I actually watched a Holy Cross practice in the Fall of 2009. I had some time to kill on a Saturday morning on my way to a college reunion in RI. I was passing through Worcester and I saw HC practicing on their field from the highway. So, I dropped in to see what a real college practice looked like. My son was being recruited by other schools at that time, and a couple in the Patriot League. It was a practice and then an intra-squad scrimmage with some real hands-on coaching from the hitting and pitching coaches. Based upon what I saw, the kids were having fun and the scrimmage was extremely competitve. The head coach seemed in total control of the practice.</p>
<p>Best of luck in your search, and let me know if I can help.</p>
