John represents the best of scholastic coaching. Not only does he have voluminous knowledge of the sport, but he clearly cares about the whole student-athlete. I hope Rutgers knows what they're getting. Clearly Goodale does.

"OUT OF COMMISSION: Ryan Kalish has been shut down for the remainder of the season due to a wrist problem. Lowell will certainly miss his 18 stolen bases and .330 batting average. "He's probably the most exciting player I've seen [at Lowell] in my four years here," said Spinners media relations director Jon Shestakofsky."
