NCAA Approves Change to Volunteer Staff Position

Huge news. And long overdue. It was always dumb to begin with. Now we just need to resolve that stupid 11.7 rule and we’re golden.

So how many volunteer coaches is baseball restricted to? I know currently you can only have 2 paid Assistants (ie Anderson and Elander). With the new rule, does this mean you have more than one Volunteer Coach? If so, does that mean that Jackson, Martinez, and Walsh will all be paid as of 7/1/23? Can we add more if budget allows? I think Evan Russell would make a terrific Coach.

FWIW, I think Richard Jackson is considered the volunteer assistant. Also, I think (but could be wrong) that a big expansion of the number of paid assistants would not be supported by enough conferences; that was the issue a few years ago in just trying to get approval for the third paid assistant.

Just verified that you can have one additional paid Assistant Coach. Jackson is the lucky (and well deserving man). Martinez and Walsh are Volunteer coaches and still unpaid. . Meanwhile, football can have an unlimited number of paid Analysts.

I know another assistant I would be going after at University Houston right now.

I think what you will see is a lot of VA's staying VA's and the HC will go after another well-known Assistant as the new paid assistant. Martinez and Redmond are not considered coaches. Redmond is Quality Control. I can't remember what Martinez's official title is.
