I have 2 guys that make pretty good firstbase coaches. These guys sure know how to yell BAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK!!! and can get in an umpire's grill when necessary. 

Dennis Vansa - Silsbee

Mark Humplik- Hardin Jefferson

Is his name really     "hump"lick".

No wonder he is tough.  Probably got picked on allot growing up.

If he's going to be nominated for something on this site we could at least spell his name right.  Let me clear this up, his name is Humplik.  H-U-M-P-L-I-K, there's no C.

That's what I originally had but I figured those HJ guys knew how to spell it. It has been corrected. Sorry Coach Humplik. ;D

Currently, Las Vegas has Humplik at 3-2 odds over Vansa. 

Cited as reasons for the better ranking was Coach Humplik has a stronger list of catch phrases like "Atta Boy!" and the ever popular YESSS  SIRRRR!!!!!

The race for 1st base coach of the year should be tight, but early on, it looks like Humplik has the edge.

Here's a little something that I managed to dig up on these two coaches:  Coach Humplik and Coach Vansa were High School teammates in Cameron, Texas. (Cameron Yoemen)  They were also college roommates at Sam Houston State.  Sounds like  quite a friendly rivarly building for this baseball season.

are we really debating who is the best first base coach?? how hard exactly is it to pay attention and yell back???

I would think there is a lot more to it than that. They also slap the kid on the butt or give them a little fist pump. They can also become quite a coat rack holding all those batting gloves. Takes a lot of skill from what I've seen.

On paper these two guys are totally equal. I think the choice is going to come down to which one can make the adjustment to the newly approved protective headgear for base coaches. Whoever can adjust to the added head weight and still be able to perform at a peak level will be the champion. Personally I have to go with Humplik. He has to have some pretty strong neck muscles to carry around that watermelon he has attached to his neck. A little extra weight won't make that much difference to him.

    • Will probably be released by the Democrats come September.  Sound familiar?
    • Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.
    • I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.  
    • He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up. 
    • I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success.
