LSU coach Paul Mainieri has been a head coach 1983 and he's coached over 2,100 games in his illustrious career. He's won over 1,400 games, one national championship and been the national coach of the year four times.
But even he needs to remind himself of not thinking too much when it comes to his managerial decisions.
The latest example was last Wednesday against Tulane. After LSU took a 9-7 lead in the ninth inning, Mainieri could have pulled Austin Bain off of first base and used him to pinch the ninth inning.
Bain started the game at first base and had already pitched the sixth inning against the Green Wave - and he retired all three batters he faced.
