dj, the last three years were after losing a key assistant to the head coaching position at ECU, correct?
Yes, looks like the original staff (head coach and 2 assistants) were in tact the first three years. Pitching coach left after 3 years, hitting coach left after 4.
2013: Rychick, Oliver, Grimes
2014: Rychick, Oliver, Grimes
2015: Rychick, Oliver, Grimes
Oliver leaves to be head coach at ECU

That said, the biggest departure in 2015 was All-Americans Emily Weiman and Renada Davis.
