MEDIA GUIDE
2008 BALL STATE BASEBALL 1
PREVIEW 2008 SEASON
BSU Looks for
Bounce-Back
Season in
2008
For the Ball State baseball program,
the 2007 season was a learning experience all the way around.
After losing six everyday starters and
the ace pitcher from a 2006 NCAA Regional team, the Cardinals reloaded with
a core of young players.
The Ball State starting lineup almost
always included four freshmen and occassionally featured five or more as the
team struggled to a sixth place finish in
the Mid-American Conference West.
With a year of valuable experience
now behind them, the Cardinals believe
2008 will provide an opportunity to return to a comfortable spot near the top
of the league standings.
“Last year was a challenge for us, but
we’ve made it through that, and those
young guys gained a lot of experience,”
Ball State coach Greg Beals said. “The
other part of that is these guys are very
talented players, so we’re expecting to be
much improved this season.”
PITCHING
One of the most experienced members of last year’s team proved to be one
of the Cardinals’ most valuable assets.
Closer Kyle Heyne racked up 10 saves
and a 5-3 record on the mound, giving
him a hand in 15 of Ball State’s 20 wins in
2007.
After tying the BSU career record for
saves with 24, Heyne was drafted in June
by the Minnesota Twins but opted to return to Ball State as a fifth-year senior
co-captain to anchor the pitching staff.
Joining Heyne as a co-captain is senior starting pitcher Tyler Pritchard,
who enters his third full season as a
member of the team’s weekend rotation.
Pritchard’s 2007 season was cut short by
injury, but when healthy in 2006, he compiled a 7-3 record with a 4.93 ERA.
Junior Brenden Stines returns for
his second season in the rotation after
serving as the Cardinals’ Friday starter
for most of the 2007 season. Stines
2
Kyle Heyne
logged the lowest ERA among Ball State
starters last year at 4.20.
“In my opinion, we have arguably the
best pitcher in the conference on our
team in Kyle Heyne,” Beals said. “We also
have a couple of experienced starters in
Stines and Pritchard, who are both capable of winning big games for us.”
In the bullpen, sophomore Aaron
Hammons returns after leading all Ball
State pitchers in 2007 with a 1.17 ERA.
Junior Adam Quinn, who was second on the team with 23 appearances
in 2007, also returns as a reliever. He is
joined by a pair of left-handers in Josh
Vollmer and Tom Mueller. Additionally, right-hander Heath Riley joins the
staff after redshirting last season.
The Cardinals have another lefthanded pitcher in the bullpen this year
with the addition of junior Eric Van
Matre, a transfer from Purdue. The 2008
class of newcomers also includes options
for relief pitchers in Seth Hobbs and
Mitch Massard.
“I feel like our bullpen guys complement each other very well and have the
ability to be tough,” Beals said.
To round out the starting rotation,
2008 BALL STATE BASEBALL
MEDIA GUIDE
Ball State will look to a newcomer and
two returning pitchers.
Freshman Kolbrin Vitek will pitch
for the Cardinals in addtion to seeing
time at first base and designated hitter.
He could see time as a weekend starter.
Sophomore Brad Piatt and junior
Jay Broughton are also in the mix for
the third starter role. Piatt appeared in
17 games and started seven a season ago,
logging a 4.44 ERA.
OUTFIELD
The 2008 Cardinals return every outfielder from the 2007 season. Five of the
returning BSU outfielders started at least
19 games in 2007.
Wayne Bond Jr. returns in center
field after starting 52 games a year ago
and leading the Cardinals with 15 stolen
bases. He also finished second on the
team with a .309 batting average while
hitting five home runs.
“I think our outfield is the strength
of our team, anchored by center fiedler
Wayne Bond,” Beals said. “We have great
speed and defensive ability, and I’m excited about the depth we have out there.”
The Ball State outfield also returns
a pair of sophomores in Kory Benbow
and Ryan Chenoweth, who combined
to start 86 games in 2007.
Benbow tied for the team lead with
eight home runs as a freshman last year,
while Chenoweth blasted seven homers
and finished second on the team in RBI
with 28.
The Cardinals also return outfielder
Nate Fields, who started 19 games in
2007 and also served as a pinch-hitter
and defensive replacement. Fields drove
in the game-winning run in the season
finale against Central Michigan.
Additionally, Justin Rogers returns
as a fifth-year senior who can play both
in the outfield and at first base. Rogers is
a two-year starter, and his versatility will
allow the Cardinals to use him in a utility
role in 2008.
“Justin can play a lot of positions for
us,” Beals said. “He is going to be in the
lineup every day. He’s just going to be in
different spots defensively.”
In addition, Ball State returns sophomore outfielder Mark Isenberg, who
saw action in 15 games last year. The
Cardinals also welcome in freshman outfielder Derek Undem.
2008 SEASON
INFIELD
With the departure of two seniors
on the left side of the infield, Ball State
will look to replace both its shortstop
and third baseman in 2008. For that, the
Cardinals will look to junior Dean Anna
at shortstop and freshman T.J. Baumet
at third base.
Anna is in his first year at Ball State,
having transferred from John A. Logan
College, where he hit .340 with 120 runs
scored in two seasons of action.
Baumet joins the Cardinals as a highly
touted freshman from Brownsburg High
School, one of the most successful baseball programs in the state of Indiana. He
was an honorable mention All-America
selection as a senior.
“In most cases, replacing the left side
of your infield would be a concern,” Beals
said. “But we’re going to be very good
at shortstop and third base. Dean and T.J.
are extremely talented, and we’re not going to miss a beat over there.”
The right side of the infield returns
for Ball State.
At second base, Jeremy Hazelbaker is back for his sophomore season
after starting 50 games as a freshman.
Hazelbaker homered five times in 2007
while driving in 21 runs.
At first base, Ball State returns
three capable players in Rogers, Matt
Stoeklen and Joe Mack.
Stoeklen started 52 games as Ball
State’s first baseman in 2007 and will see
time at that position and as the designated hitter in 2008.
Stoeklen, who joined Bond last season as a junior college transfer, led the
Cardinals offensively with eight home
runs, 39 RBI and a .311 batting average.
He also logged a team-best .518 on-base
percentage.
“We’re looking forward to great
years from both Matt and Wayne,” Beals
said. “As junior college guys, last year was
their first Division I experience, as well.
And now, as seniors, they have a sense
of urgency because this is their last go
around.”
Mack returns as a sophomore after
playing in 36 games last year and seeing
some time at first base. He hit .298 while
serving as one of the team’s top pinch
hitters off the bench.
In the infield, the Cardinals also return Shannon McCormick, who redshirted in 2007. The team has added potential infielders in freshmen Nick von
Foerster and Vitek, who can play first
base in addition to pitching.

CATCHING
Sophomores Zach Dygert and Alex
Schmid will handle most of the catching
duties again in 2008. The duo split time
behind the plate in 2007 as both players
saw their first catching action at the collegiate level.
Schmid posted a .286 batting average
in 2007, while Dygert hit .258 for the season. The pair combined for 28 RBI.
“With a year of experience, Zach and
Alex have really developed and matured
as players both physically and mentally,”
Beals said. “They have a better understanding of the position, and having two
capable and experienced catchers will allow them both to stay fresh throughout
the season.”
The Cardinals also return fifth-year
senior catcher Jordan Goodpaster.
Additionally, the team brought in two
catchers for 2008 in freshmen Aaron
Etchison and Shea Johnson.
SCHEDULE
Ball State will open its season Feb. 22
with the first game of a four-game series
at UAB. The Cardinals will play their first
17 games on the road, including a series
at New Mexico State and two weekend
tournaments at Coastal Carolina.
“The New Mexico State trip is interesting because it gives us a chance to
go play out west, which is something we
haven’t done since I’ve been here,” Beals
said. “It will give us another opportunity
to see sort of a different brand of baseball from a different conference.”
Included in the two tournaments at
Coastal Carolina, which bookend the
team’s spring break trip, are three games
against the host Chanticleers and one
MEDIA GUIDE
game against nationally ranked Michigan.
In between those two tournaments, Ball
State will play a pair of midweek games at
Charleston Southern.
Ball State opens its home slate with
two midweek games March 18 and 19
against in-state foes Anderson and Indianapolis. The Cardinals then head back
to the road to open the Mid-American
Conference season at Akron March 21.
Ball State will host four conference
series in 2008: Buffalo (April 4-6), Bowling Green (April 11-13), Eastern Michigan (May 2-4) and Northern Illinois (May
9-11). The Cardinals will go on the road
for five series: Akron (March 21-23), Kent
State (March 28-30), Central Michigan
(April 18-20), Western Michigan (April
25-27) and Toledo (May 15-17).
“Our conference schedule is as challenging as it can be,” Beals said,“especially
with the parity in our league and the fact
that we travel to Kent State and Central
Michigan, which are always contenders
for the conference title.”
Ball State travels to play traditional
foes Notre Dame (March 25), Indiana
(April 16) and Purdue (April 23). The
Cardinals host midweek, non-conference
games against Dayton (April 2), Indiana
State (April 15) and Xavier (April 22).
The conference portion of the schedule builds toward the MAC Tournament,
which is scheduled for May 21-24 at the
site of the No. 1 seed.
COACH’S OUTLOOK
“We’re excited about this upcoming season,” Beals said. “Last year, as tough as it
was, made us a better program. It was a
learning experience for all us, and I think
that will serve us well this year.”

HEAD COACH GREG BEALS
Beals’ first win as a head coach came March 1, 2003, when the Cardinals defeated
Evansville 4-3. His first MAC win was a 24-2 victory over Central Michigan (March 28,
2003). His 100th victory came May 21, 2005, with an 8-0 shutout of Wright State.
After a 28-28 mark and second-place MAC West finish in 2004, Beals returned the
Cardinals to the top of the division in 2005 with a 38-18 (17-5 MAC) record. Senior
closer Erik Morrison earned the league’s Pitcher of the Year award, and starter Ben

Following the 2006 run to the NCAA Tournament, the Cardinals lost six everyday

Pitching Coach
Fifth Season
Ohio State
(1998)
Mike Stafford enters his fifth season as pitching coach at Ball State in 2007 and
his third season as the team’s top assistant. Stafford was originally named Ball State’s
pitching coach in October 2003 and was promoted to the Cardinals’ top assistant
post, which includes major recruiting responsibilities, in July 2005.
“The Ball State baseball program and myself are very fortunate to have a pitching coach the caliber and with the experience that Coach Stafford possesses,” says
BSU head coach Greg Beals. “He and his pitching staff have worked hard and been an
integral part of our success. Our pitching has thrived under his direction. Our success
on the field and in the MLB draft backs that up. With Mike’s assistance, I am looking
forward to further development of championship baseball at Ball State.”
In 2007, Stafford coached Cardinals closer Kyle Heyne, who saved 10 games
and won five more. Heyne matched the school record for career saves with 24. He
was selected by the Minnesota Twins in the 2007 draft but decided to return for his
final season as Ball State’s closer in 2008. In addition to coaching Heyne, Stafford also
tutored starting pitcher Ryan DeGeeter, who twice earned Mid-American Conference
Scholar Athlete of the Week honors and picked up his second straight Academic AllMAC selection.
In 2006, his first season as the team’s top assistant, Stafford helped the Cardinals to the MAC Tournament Championship and the NCAA Regional. He coached
sophomore starter Ben Snyder, who finished with an 8-5 record and a MAC-best 108
strikeouts before being drafted by the San Francisco Giants in the fourth round of the
2006 draft. Snyder pitched Ball State to perhaps the biggest win in school history, when
he shut down No. 1 seed Kentucky in the Cardinals’ 3-1 first-round NCAA Regional
victory. Stafford also coached Heyne, who completed his first season as the team’s
closer with a team-best 2.11 ERA and ranked second in the MAC with 12 saves. Heyne
picked up the save in Ball State’s win over Kentucky.
During the 2005 campaign, BSU senior reliever Erik Morrison was named the
MAC Pitcher of the Year and was an All-MAC First Team selection after tying the
league’s single-season saves record with 15. Morrison, who finished the season with
a 7-0 record and a 1.32 ERA, tied for fourth in the nation in saves and was one of
five finalists for the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Stopper of the
Year Award. He also picked up American Baseball Coaches Association & Rawlings AllAmerica and Louisville Slugger All-America Second Team honors.
In addition to Morrison’s success, Snyder was named the 2005 MAC Freshman
of the Year after finishing the season with an 8-5 overall record. His eight victories
tied for fifth in the league, while his 7-0 MAC mark was the best among all starters in
the conference. A member of the 2005 Louisville Slugger Freshman All-America Team,
Snyder’s 2.82 ERA in league-only contests ranked 13th in the MAC.
Stafford joined the Cardinals after spending two seasons as the bullpen coach
for the Columbus Clippers, the AAA affiliate of the New York Yankees. At Columbus,
his duties included warming up relievers during games, throwing batting practice and
catching bullpens.
A 1998 graduate of Ohio State University, Stafford served as the pitching coach
for the Columbus All-Americans of the Great Lakes Collegiate Summer League from
2002-03.
Stafford continued his work with the Great Lakes League in the summers of 2004
and 2005, guiding the Grand Lake Mariners to a 23-17 overall record and a league-best
2.07 ERA in 2005, which earned him the league’s Coach of the Year honor.
Prior to his coaching stints, Stafford spent four seasons as a pitcher in minor
league baseball. A 41st round draft pick of the Toronto Blue Jays in the 1998 Major
League Baseball Draft, Stafford split time playing at Medicine Hat, St. Catherine’s and
Hagerstown from 1998-99.
In 1999, Stafford moved to the New York Yankees organization, where he pitched
for the Tampa Bay Yankees and led the team in appearances in 1999-2000. After his stay
with the Yankees, he went to the Milwaukee Brewers, spending 2000-01 throwing for
the California League’s High Desert Mavericks.
A physical education major, Stafford was an All-Big Ten selection for Ohio State
in 1998.The OSU single-season ERA and appearance leader in 1997 and 1998, Stafford
was a member of the Buckeyes’ Big Ten Championship teams in 1994 and 1995.
Stafford comes from baseball bloodlines. His father, Bill, pitched eight seasons for
the New York Yankees, participated in five World Series and was on both the 1961 and
1962 World Championship teams.

Assistant Coach
Third Season
Kent State
(2000)
Alex Marconi enters his third season at Ball State, having been named an assistant
coach in August 2005. Marconi took over the position formerly held by Mike Stafford,
who was promoted to the top assistant in July 2005.
“The addition of Coach Marconi has proven to be very valuable to our program,”
says BSU head coach Greg Beals. “Alex has a bright future in this profession. He possesses the knowledge and passion for good baseball. In addition to daily outfield and
catching instruction, he will also instruct bunting and base running as well as serving as
our first base coach this year.”
In his first season at Ball State in 2006, Marconi helped the Cardinals to the first
Mid-American Conference Tournament Championship in school history and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Marconi, then working with the hitters, coached
the Cardinals to a .291 team batting average and 60 combined home runs as the team
compiled an overall record of 38-20.
In 2007, Marconi tutored freshman catchers Zach Dygert and Alex Schmid. The
duo returns to anchor the BSU catching corps in 2008.
In addition to his coaching duties, Marconi is in charge of the Ball State baseball
camps, and he handles team travel.
Marconi spent the 2005 season as a volunteer assistant coach at North Carolina,
where he worked with hitters and catchers and directed summer camps. He was also
responsible for on-campus recruiting and monitoring players’ academic progress.
Prior to joining the UNC staff, Marconi played four years of professional baseball,
ending with a stint on the St. Paul Saints of the Northern League. A 27th-round draft
pick of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in 2000 from Kent State, where he played four years
under then KSU assistant coach Beals, Marconi spent three seasons with the club.
Marconi was called up to the Triple-A Durham Bulls in 2001 and 2002, and also
saw action with the Devil Rays’ Orlando, Bakersfield, Hudson Valley and Princeton
teams. He spent the 2003 season with the Elmira Pioneers of the Northeast League.
A four-year letterwinner for the Golden Flashes, Marconi was an All-MAC First

2005 and 2006. He hit .318 over his two seasons at Ball State with 13 home runs and
78 RBI. As a senior in 2006, he logged a .970 fielding percentage while committing just
four errors in 58 games.
Former Ball State player C.J. Webb returns in 2008 for his second season as part
of the Cardinals’ coaching staff. Webb, who wrapped up his collegiate playing career at
Ball State in 2006, served as a student assistant in 2007 while earning his degree. This
season, he will fill the role of volunteer assistant coach for the Cardinals.
“C.J. was a great player for us, and we’re happy to have him back for a second year
as an assistant,” says BSU head coach Greg Beals. “His energy for the game is a great
asset to our program. C.J. will serve as our infield instructor and bench coach.”
Webb was a part of one of the most successful teams in Ball State history as a
senior in 2006.A third baseman who provided both outstanding defense and production

2007 SEASON
RECAP
2007
20-34 Overall
8-19 MAC (6th place MAC West)
A STRONG FINISH
Ball State closed the 2007 season with wins in four of its
final five games . . . That stretch included wins in two out
of three contests against Central Michigan, a team that
led the MAC West for much of the season and finished
in second place with a 21-6 conference record . . . The
Cardinals and Chippewas split the first two games of the
season-ending series before Ball State took the rubber
game 11-10 in 10 innings.
HEYNE DRAFTED
Following the 2007 season, Ball State closer Kyle Heyne
was selected by the Minnesota Twins in the 27th round
of the Major League Baseball Draft . . . Heyne opted to
return to Ball State as a fifth-year senior in 2008 . . . He
comes back to school tied for first place on the Cardinals’ all-time saves list with 24 in his career.
THE SAVE MACHINE
Closer Kyle Heyne saved 10 games for Ball State in 2007
to move into a tie with Ron Schrock (1983-85) for first
place on the school’s career saves list with 24 . . . Heyne,
who saved 14 games a year earlier in 2006, now owns
two of the top five single-season saves totals in school
annals . . . In addition to his 10 saves in 2007, Heyne also
won five games, giving him either the win or the save in
15 of Ball State’s 20 victories . . . He was named the MAC
Pitcher of the Week on March 19 after earning a win and
a save on back-to-back days at Wake Forest.
Wayne Bond Jr.
THE SCHOLAR ATHLETE
Senior pitcher Ryan DeGeeter earned the MAC Scholar

NCAA appearance was the first for the Cardinals under the tournament’s current format and the third appearance overall.
The Cardinals were sent to the Lexington Regional as a No. 4 seed and
opened the tournament against No. 1 seed Kentucky. Playing under the lights in
front of 3,500 fans at the Wildcats’ own Cliff Hagan Stadium, Ball State pulled
out a 3-1 win. Cardinal ace Ben Snyder allowed just one run on four hits in eight
innings.With the game tied 1-1 in the eighth inning, right fielder Justin Rogers
singled down the left field line to score two runs and give Ball State the lead.
Closer Kyle Heyne came in to finish off the contest in the ninth inning and earn
his 12th save of the season.
The Cardinals advanced in the winner’s bracket, where they matched up
with College of Charleston. The Cougars, who went on to win the Regional,
earned an 11-0 win to send Ball State into the loser’s bracket.
In an elimination game, the Cardinals matched up again with Kentucky. The
Wildcats jumped out to an early lead and took an 11-5 edge into the eighth
inning. Ball State rallied with four
runs in the eighth to close the
gap to two runs, but the Cardinals ended up on the short end
of a 12-9 decision and were
eliminated from the Regional.
The NCAA Regional appearance capped a 38-22 season for Ball State as the team
matched the fourth-highest
win total in school history.
The box score to the
right recaps Ball State’s historic win over top-seeded
Kentucky in the first round
of the Lexington Regional.

POSTSEASON
1969 DISTRICT PLAYOFF
1965 DISTRICT PLAYOFF
May 29-31, 1969 (St. Paul, Minn.)
Ball State, Southern Illinois,
Ohio and Minnesota
May 27-29, 1965 (Athens, Ohio)
Ball State, Detroit,
Ohio State and Ohio
The Cardinals made their second NCAA Tournament appearance in 1969, playing again in the
District 4 Playoff.
Ball State advanced to the championship round of the playoff through the loser’s bracket and
needed to defeat Southern Illinois twice to continue on to the College World Series. Dave Torma
went 2-for-3 at the plate and scored three runs, and Ron O’Neil drove in two runs for the Cardinals, but Southern Illinois held on for a 4-3 win to eliminate Ball State.
The Salukis had defeated Ball State 15-6 two days earlier in the first round, but the Cardinals
rebounded with two straight wins to advance to the championship round.
Ball State started its run with a 4-3 win over Ohio to pick up the first NCAA Tournament
victory in school history. The Cardinals scored in the bottom of the ninth inning to tie the game
2-2 and send it into extra innings. After falling behind 3-2 in the top of the 11th, the Cardinals
rallied for two runs in the bottom of the inning to secure the win. Torma had two RBI, and Rich
Klemczewski scored two runs in the win.
Later in the day, the Cardinals picked up a 4-1 victory over host Minnesota. John McCoy and
Al Bradford each recorded two RBI in the game, and Tom Pinkerton shut Minnesota down on the
mound. Pinkerton threw a complete game, striking out 12 batters and allowing one earned run on
seven hits.
Ball State finished the playoff with a 2-2 record and closed out the 1969 season at 15-12.
Head coach Ray Louthen, who led the Cardinals to both postseason appearances in the 1960s,
coached for one more season before assistant coach Bob Rickel took over the program. Rickel
went on to coach for 12 seasons, the same number of seasons Louthen coached.
Ball State made its first NCAA Tournament appearance in
1965, when the Cardinals won the Indiana Collegiate Conference and earned an at-large bid into the NCAA District 4
Playoffs. The four-team, double-elimination playoff was held at
Trautwein Field on the campus of Ohio University.
Coached by Ray Louthen, Ball State opened the tournament
with a 4-0 loss to Ohio State. The Cardinals then matched
up with Detroit, which had fallen in the tournament’s first
round to the host Bobcats.
Ball State was eliminated
from the field with a 4-3
loss in the loser’s bracket
contest.
The Cardinals finished
the 1965 campaign with a
15-8-1 overall record.

Director of Athletics
Third Year
Ball State University selected Tom Collins as its director
of intercollegiate athletics Jan. 9, 2006.
In his short tenure at Ball State, Collins has directed
the completion of the Scheumann Stadium renovation, put
in place a new five-year gender equity plan and served as a significant member of the
university’s senior staff.
“It’s clear my predecessors at Ball State and the administration have staked out a
commitment to the true scholar-athlete model of intercollegiate athletics, which is one
aspect of this program I found tremendously appealing,” Collins says. “Couple that with
the university’s and the community’s commitment to providing the student-athletes with
outstanding facilities and a supportive atmosphere, and it becomes clear why Ball State
has a proud academic and athletic tradition — one I’m looking forward to continuing and
enhancing.”
Collins inherited a Ball State 19-sport intercollegiate athletics program with a rich
tradition in academic and athletic success. The tradition has continued under Collins’
guidance. The baseball team won the 2006 MAC Tournament and made its first appearance in the NCAA Tournament since 1969. The women’s soccer team won its first-ever
MAC Regular Season Championship, while the women’s basketball team advanced to the
WNIT and hosted Kentucky in a first round game. Academically, Ball State had 17 of its 19
teams with scores above the national average in the NCAA Division I Academic Progress
Report, with the men’s tennis team scoring a perfect 1,000. Ball State’s football team
was second in the MAC with a 942 score, while the men’s basketball team placed fourth
among league schools with a 949. Ball State’s women’s basketball program earned a score
of 987 to place first among public schools in the state of Indiana and third in the league.
Collins’ involvement in the MAC includes sitting on the league’s finance committee
and serving as the men’s golf coaches liaison to the MAC office.
Prior to taking the position at Ball State, Collins served the previous 20 years in several capacities in the athletics department at Arizona State University, including the last
five in the department’s number two position as the senior associate athletic director.
Collins’ resume includes working for some of the most recognizable names in intercollegiate athletics. While at Arizona State, he worked with athletic directors Dick
Tamburo, Kevin White (currently the A.D. at Notre Dame) and Gene Smith (currently the
A.D. at Ohio State). Collins also worked with athletic director Sam Jankovich, while at the
University of Miami, and his colleagues through the years include current A.D.’s Bill Moos
(Oregon), Jim Livengood (Arizona), Herman Frazier (Hawaii), Michael Alden (Missouri),
Sandy Hatfield Clubb (Drake) and Vic Cegles (Long Beach State).
During his tenure at Arizona State, he oversaw seven nationally ranked Division I-A
programs, helped direct a collegiate licensing program that generated annual revenues in
excess of $450,000, and created the department’s Addy Award-winning “Playing with Fire”
marketing slogan.
Prior to being named to his senior associate A.D. position at Arizona State, Collins
served as the university’s associate athletic director, overseeing corporate and community
affairs, and as assistant athletic director. He also worked as assistant athletic director at
the University of Miami and as the ticket manager at Washington State.
