•No email address to contact the head
coach (or other staff, the general
baseball office, sports information
director, etc.).
•No telephone number. We can
understand possibly not giving the
coaches office numbers – but at least
give a general baseball office
number.
•No recent news about games,
players, or other program related
news. As of Jan 6th, 2017 - no new
news articles since Sept/ Oct 2016
A few not since July/ Aug!(Why not?)
•No stats or archived news articles
from previous years.
•No picture(s) of coaching staff.
•No player biographies, no pictures of
players
•If there were pictures of players – no
link from picture to a biography
•No pictures of the facilities (baseball
field, weight room, etc.) - Are you
embarrassed?
