Last summer, UMBC outfielder Mallory Pollack waited for her softball team's future to walk through the door.
Chris Kuhlmeyer had already been interviewed once for the Retrievers' head coaching job, which was open for the second time in four years. But now it was time for him to be questioned by Pollack and infielder Imani Dawson, both of whom were part of UMBC's search committee.
Like the other members of the search committee, Pollack had questions -- about 30 in all -- written down on a piece of paper. They were generic ones like, "What's your coaching style?"
