A 24 year old, with "a lot" of experience from a lower level <br />D3 program with a loosing record, is not qualified to coach at the D1level. <br />But she was across the street from a D1 school!!! There were several succesful D1 and D2 head coaches from winning programs that applied. These qualified candidates were not even called for interviews.

Coach Alvis was such an asset to the Mt's softball program. He worked very hard for the program and it is too bad that they couldn't see it. His recuiting of players have set up the new coach for at least the next couple of years. The Mt. doesn't know what they will be missing with Coach Alvis being gone. It is also too bad that he wasn't appreciated by the administration or the some of the outgoing players. This is again a sad situation. We will MISS Coach Alvis.....cheerleadernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822538601706589011.post-79675960978466914802010-07-31T09:24:06.761-04:002010-07-31T09:24:06.761-04:00I believe you; that wasn't what I implied or r...I believe you; that wasn't what I implied or requested.

I am sure one of Anna's references was Coach Rappl from Canisius.

I do not believe that any of the players opinions were considered at all with the firing and the hiring of the coaches! <br /><br />I really hope that Nagro can come in and prove herself worthy of the postion as head coach because if she does not live up to the things accomplished by Alvis, many will not be happy.. along with the players. <br /><br />BG.. as for your comment about Jen Wivell being a good fit for the program??? You are out of your mind.. she had NO coaching experience and took part in the release of Coach Alvis! That not only would have looked terrible for the athletic department but on the school as a whole. Wivell as coach would have sent the program right back to where it was in 2005!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822538601706589011.post-89867478621745091922010-07-27T20:41:06.214-04:002010-07-27T20:41:06.214-04:00I don't know anything about Anna Nagro but Jen...I don't know anything about Anna Nagro but Jen Wivell would have been a nice choice - alumni and works in the athletic department already. Clearly a money-saving move, but hopefully Nagro proves wothy. She will certainly be a much more relatable figure for the players.
