James Owens and Kevin Turner Leave
A Legacy of Courage and Faith
In late March, during
the same week, the
AHSAA, the state of
Alabama and our nation
lost two courageous men
– James Owens and
Kevin Turner. Both had
been battling multiple

As I travel the state now
as Executive Director of

lessons still being taught by

have accepted their calling

In their darkest hours,
James Owens and Kevin
Turner continued to teach
us and give back those
lessons they had learned.
“Jesus says that in this
world there will be trials
and tribulations, but be of
good cheer, for there is
something after this,”
Kevin Turner once
remarked to a close media
friend about his battle with
ALS. “I wanted to make
something bright out of
something that wasn’t so
bright and maybe help
somebody else along the
way. I really think that’s
what I’m here to do now.”
Owens grew up in the
middle of the civil-rights
movement. He was playing
at Fairfield High School
just as the AHSAA and its
black counterpart, the
Alabama Interscholastic
Athletic Association, were
merging.

Brewer Commentary: Pitching Rule Set for 2017
Continued from
Page 15
The number of pitches is
based on the level of
pitching. Specific rest
periods are in place when a
pitcher reaches a high
threshold of pitches
delivered in a day. The
maximum number of
pitches allowed in any one
day is 120 for varsity level,
100 for junior varsity and
85 for junior high/middle
school.
A pitcher at the Varsity
or JV level who reaches the
maximum pitch count
limitation allowed per day
during an inning will be
afforded the opportunity to
finish pitching to the
current batter at bat.
The rest periods
required during the 2017
regular and tournament
season are listed below:
Varsity:
*If a pitcher throws 76 or
more pitches in a day, three
(3) calendar days of rest
must be observed.
*If a pitcher throws 51-75
pitches in a day, two (2)
calendar days of rest must
be observed.
*If a pitcher throws 26-50
pitches in a day, one (1)
calendar day of rest must
be observed.
*If a pitcher throws 1-25
pitches in a day no calendar
day of rest is required
before pitching again.
A calendar day means
that if a pitcher throws 76
pitches on Tuesday, that
player may not pitch again
until Saturday. If he throw
25 pitches on Tuesday, the
player may pitch again on
the next day, which is
Wednesday. The starting
time of the game does not
matter in the calculation of
when a pitcher is eligible to
pitch again.
The use of an ineligible
pitcher, one who has
violated this rule, shall
result in the forfeiture of
the game in which the
ineligible pitcher
participated as a pitcher,
and the offending school
will also be assessed a fine
of $250. The following is
the number of allowable
pitches and days’ rest
needed.
This new rule allows for
baseball strategy to be kept
in the game for example,
starters, closers and midinning pitchers while
regulating the arm usage.
The AHSAA is in front of
the line when it comes to
states making similar
adoptions. We are proud
to lead the way and are
willing to help other
organizations at any time.

Ainsworth Commentary
Continued from Page 18
None of us can do anything by
ourselves, we all need the support of someone.
A third tool that needs to be
in your coaching toolbox is a pair
of work gloves, which would
represent WORK ETHIC. To
be an effective coach you cannot
be afraid of getting your hands
dirty! You cannot be prideful
and think you are above picking
up paper, cutting grass, cleaning
toilets or whatever it takes to
have your facilities, fields and
locker rooms looking their best.
Coaching is not just what happens between the lines or on the
court. Ninety percent of coaching happens off the field or
court.
Be a model of integrity, a hard working and caring coach. Work hard at
maintaining whatever facilities you have
and teach your kids to properly care for
what has been given to them by those
who have gone before.
A good personal library is another
tool you need in your toolbox. A quality
coach is a LIFELONG LEARNER.
They read all genres of books: self-help,
leadership, coaching (even of other
sports), business management, spiritual,
etc. Be willing to learn from others. Use
what applies to your situation and store
the rest because your situation is always
changing. Your kids are always changing
and you need to be educated so you can
lead that change in a positive direction.
A few suggestions of books would be:
The 360 Degree Leader (John Maxwell)
Secrets of Successful Coaches (Jeff Janssen)
Get in the Game (Cal Ripken, Jr.)
Scream Free Parenting (Hal Runkel)
How Good Do You Want to Be (Nick Sa-
ban)
Inside Out Coaching (Joe Ehrmann)
Blink (Malcolm Gladwell)
PASSION is another tool that is desperately needed for every good coach. I
don’t just mean a passion for the game;
obviously you have that. You need a
passion for making a difference in the
lives of kids – a passion for excellence
and doing things the right way because it
is the right thing to do. Please don’t be
a coach who is just trying to get tenure
and then draw a check. Our kids deserve much better than that.
A vital tool that should also be included in your toolbox is a pair of scissors.
Scissors are needed because in order to
be a legacy coach you need to CUT
OUT THE BAD HABITS that would
prevent you from leading by example. .
CONTINUED ON PAGE 20
April 2016
Page 20
AHSAA Update
Ainsworth Commentary
Continued from Page 19
Examples of some bad habits could be
improper language (cursing or derogatory comments), smoking, dipping, unprofessional dress, too much alcohol, arrogance, lying, etc. A coach who is trying
to teach positive life lessons is going to
make every attempt to cut out of their
own life everything but the things which
are the highest example of goodness for
our student-athletes.
Another use for the scissors is to cut
out the “cancer”. You know the kid
with the poor attitude, the kid that is
bringing your team down or the kid that
is keeping you from reaching your goals
as a team because of their attitude, lack
of work ethic or destruction of team
chemistry. A coach who genuinely cares
about kids is going to care as much
about the kids who aren’t as talented but
give it their all as they do the kid who is
very talented but lazy and hurtful to the
team. A quality coach is going to have
the courage to “cure the cancer or cut it
out”. The first remedy is the bench. A
kid who cannot be motivated to change
by the bench can’t be motivated and
then needs to be “cut out”. Your team
deserves a coach who loves them
enough to discipline them.
KNOW THE RULES.
Knowledge of the rules is a valuable tool and should be expected of
all coaches. We have made the
AHSAA publications available
24/7 and “ignorance of the law is
no excuse”. Coaches should be
knowledgeable of the rules so as
not to put the program or the eligi-
bility of student-athletes at risk. Quality
coaches also teach their athletes not only
the rules but to play by the rules.
The last tool in your toolbox should
be a heart of GRATITUDE. You are
blessed with the mind, body, health and
job to be a coach. You are blessed with
a support group, facilities, opportunities,
food, shelter and clothing. Be thankful!
Thank those who help you. Thank your
student-athletes and teach them to be
grateful. Be grateful for those who
paved the way for you. Be grateful for
the opportunity to compete. Be grateful
for life.
As I stated earlier, this is by no means
an exhaustive list of tools needed. However, it is a good start on the tools required to be a better coach.
When your career is over you probably will not have a lot of money, but if
you have filled your coaching toolbox
with the right tools and used them
throughout your career, you can end
your career with unmeasured riches because you made a difference in the lives
of children and changed the world for
the better – one child at a time.
