He most likely pushed too hard. It's a delicate balance. I was using weighted balls with my 9th graders pre season. Starting having too many sore arms and elbows and their recovery times were getting longer so I cut them out and we did more weights instead. Arm problems went away. At the college level, you don't have the luxury of doing that kind of stuff because you have a vision of where kids need to be in your system and when you have a philosophy you subscribe to you rarely deviate from it.

I'm not sure if he planned on being here longer than one year when he took the job but I would imagine to catch up for lost time he probably pushed too much.
