That's just me. I don't like to talk myself up or anything like that, I just like to hang back and do my own thing.

ask assure autonomy baseball changed forward general larry manager move power role simply struggle
There never was a power struggle between Larry and Theo. It was simply mythology. I can assure you as we move forward that Larry?s role has not changed at all, and no general manager in baseball could ask for more autonomy than Theo has.

ask assure attempts autonomy baseball changed conference despite forward general issue larry loss manager move portray power press return role simply struggle win
Despite the attempts of some to portray Theo's return as a win for someone and a loss for someone else, this is a win-win situation. As Theo said in his press conference on Nov. 2, and as we have all repeated, there never was a power struggle between Larry and Theo. It was simply mythology. I can assure you as we move forward that Larry's role has not changed at all, and no general manager in baseball could ask for more autonomy than Theo has. This has never been an issue for us - only in the media.

If things were down, we had to pull the rest of the team out of the troubles. Knowing we had been there for four years we were used to the practices, going to the tournament and the difference between playing against rivals.

This is probably the greatest amount of change since I've been in the organization. Not allowing a school to play up without a vote by the principals has caused a lot of this change. It's funny; at one time schools would fight to change districts.
