It would be interesting to know....if it is Bolt and not someone with head coaching experience I suppose Moos' house is not in order again.I only put those two because that's who I was hearing as finalists. Would love to hear who we reached out to and were told no from.
... not another pie and bourbon debate.It would be interesting to know....if it is Bolt and not someone with head coaching experience I suppose Moos' house is not in order again.

That's possible. However, because of that, some might say he didn't do what he should have. I get wanting that experience, but reality is what reality is.Maybe Moos was through people off with his comment on head coaching experience. Maybe.
As someone who's not really a baseball guy, and not in the Omaha area, take what I'm about to say with a truckload of salt....I don't follow baseball very closely so I had to ask. I didn't know NE was such a hot-bed of baseball talent. thanks
You are 100% right! A lot of kids playing baseball at a high level in Omaha. The little leagues are stalked full of kids. Basketball is starting to become that way also.As someone who's not really a baseball guy, and not in the Omaha area, take what I'm about to say with a truckload of salt....
Baseball is a sport that requires practice, development, and coaching more than just pure talent, and Omaha seems to prioritize baseball much more than most other places that I know. Talent helps, obviously, but there are approximately a bajillion would-be great baseball players walking around the planet right now who never played enough baseball at a young age to figure out that they could be any good at it. Omaha doesn't have that problem. As an outsider, their youth baseball programs seem incredibly popular.
Am I ... off base?

That's interesting. I don't know the ins and outs of how they've set up their system, but it looks impressive from the outside.Nope.
BUT, here's Omaha's weakness: They have so many players, they just assemble the best players on the Pacesetters, Gladiators, Tigers, whatever. The only way teams from outside of Omaha beat Omaha teams is by outcoaching them, day in, day out from age 9 to 14 and then to 18. A team from out of state isn't going to beat a top Omaha team at age 9, 10, 11, and 12. Omaha chooses from what, 1.5 million? The other towns outside of Lincoln choose from 15k-30k.
In my opinion, Omaha players don't get coached up as much as they could because they can rely on flat out talent.
Nope.
