I did re-read your post and can't seem to agree with you. The cries may have been relief. The girls that left the program lost faith in it and its supposed leadership. I believe a new coach is going to pull players out that didn't want to deal with the now former coaching staff and tryouts will probably be what tryouts were meant to be and not some event to fill a roster! As for Ali and the past two years, well she's all they had pitching because the former coaches took the opportunity away from Smith and used her talent as a defensive player somewhere else. She can't be everywhere!
