Fletcher leaped at the opportunity to head the Bison program when Mel Brown hastily departed last summer. In a sense it was not tough,'' said Wynn of the decision. ''Since I went back into the coaching career, I kind of wanted to make my way back here, as far as being in a Church of Christ situation. I grew up listening to stories about Lipscomb. I think he was ahead of his time. Everybody works hard in baseball now.
All coaches work hard.
There aren't many guys outcoaching the other, and I think Coach Dugan had a lot to do with starting that. That's what my father respected the most about him,'' Wynn mused. This first season at Lipscomb has required Fletcher to work overtime, both on and off the baseball field. The pitching staff, sporting an unsightly 6.88 ERA through March 29, has been decimated by injuries, graduation, and other issues. Lipscomb has allowed 34 home runs while belting only seven.
