He was immediately installed as the 3B coach and hitting coach when he was named the volunteer. Augie Garrido tried to hire him a few years ago. He has helped his teams (Rice) reach the College World Series more than any assistant in the state of Texas. He is a native Texan that played AA baseball and has coached all of his years in the state of Texas. His older brother is a cross-checker for the Texas Rangers. He is very loyal and is a baseball lifer. He would be a great addition to Coach Childress' staff. (He has a wife and four daughters).
