He was focusing on the bowlers' release to try to get him more revs. The problem was that the bowlers timing was so late as a result of holding the ball until he was 2 1/2 steps from the line, that there was no way for him to get any power on the ball. Later the "coach" said something to me, so I asked him when he is due to re-certify. He asked what I meant. I told him that I was talking about the USBC Coaching Certification Program. He replied, "Oh, I didn't do that. I don't charge for lessons, so I really don't need to." I guess you get what you pay for, or don't pay for, as the case may be!
