Scott Whitlock Head Coach, 1987-Present

In 2013, Scott Whitlock enters his 27th and final season at the helm of the Owls softball program as one of the all-time winningest and most respected coaches in NCAA softball. During his illustrious career, he has garnered two national titles, 13 regional crowns and more personal accolades than can be mentioned. He is the driving force that has made Kennesaw State softball one of the most admired and respected programs in the country.

After successful runs at the NAIA and NCAA Division II levels, Whitlock has carried his success into Division I. The Bostwick, Ga. native has compiled a 194-137 overall record within D-I since guiding the Owls to the top level of collegiate softball beginning in the 2006 season. In 2010, Whitlock led the Black and Gold to its first-ever conference tournament and No. 3-seed in the six-team field. A 28-27 record in 2011 sent the Owls to the A-Sun Tournament for a second consecutive season and marked the fifth time in six seasons he has led the Owls to a winning record after making the transition to Division I.

In his club’s first season as a D-I competitor, Whitlock led his squad to a 38-17 record followed by a 44-20 mark in 2007 which produced an Atlantic Sun Conference regular season title. He continued to keep his club performing at a high level in 2008, leading the Owls to a 36-17 mark. In six seasons as a member of the A-Sun, Whitlock’s teams have posted an impressive 71-49 record.

Legendary is a word that is often overused, but it is appropriate when describing Whitlock’s career. A total of 51 All-Americans can attest to that. He can inspire his teams to always bring their best games to the diamond and his drive to take his players to a higher level while playing against the best competition in the nation. The two national championships are proof.

Whitlock guided the Owls to back-to-back Division II National Championships in 1995 and 1996. He has a career winning percentage of .784 and boasts a gaudy 929-256 record over his 20 seasons of coaching at the fastpitch level, putting him near the top in most NCAA softball coaching categories.

Under Whitlock, Kennesaw State has posted four winning streaks of more than 30 games. Only the University of Arizona has more 30-plus game winning streaks in their history with five.

While at the helm of the Owls, Whitlock produced 18 consecutive 35-win seasons from 1991 to 2008; he has had fifteen 40-win campaigns and has had four seasons in which he has won 50 or more games. Additionally, Whitlock led the Owls to nine consecutive seasons (1992-2000) in which his teams never lost more than a single-digit number of games. Every year from 1991 through 2002, Whitlock had the Owls ranked in the top 10 nationally at the season’s end.

Perhaps one of the finest two-year runs in softball history came during the 1999-2000 seasons, when the Owls combined for 108 wins. Whitlock’s 108-15 record (.878) marked two of the eight times in which he finished the year ranked in the top four.

Whitlock’s ability to coach is surpassed only by his ability to recruit. The Owls have been laden with talent during the past 16 years. Over the manicured turf of Owl Field stepped 51 All- Americans. There have been 24 First Team All-American selections, 19 Second Team selections and eight Third Team honorees. During his storied tenure with the Owls, Whitlock has also produced a pair of NCAA Division II National Player-of-the-Year Award winners in Audra Thomas (2000) and Kelly Rafter (1995).

The accolades have continued to pour in at the Division I level, as he has already coached an Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year (Keri McKee-2007), Pitcher of the Year (Brittany Matthews-2007) and Freshman of the Year (Ashlee Burkett-2010). Whitlock himself has earned A-Sun Coach of the Year honors twice since joining the conference, in 2006 and 2007.

Two-time Olympian, Colleen Thorburn (Canada), honed her skills under Whitlock in the early days of the program, while Whitlock’s international experience helped to develop third baseman Sarah Lockett, as she was selected to participate on Great Britain’s National Team in 2003.

For his lifetime of hard work, dedication and success, Whitlock was granted the highest honor of his profession when he was inducted into the National Fastpitch Coaches Hall of Fame in Orlando, Florida. He was also part of the class of 2010 inductees into the Georgia Dugout Club Hall of Fame.

There is no doubt that Whitlock is one of the finest coaches and recruiters in . However, there is more to the Owls head coach than his on the field success. In 2001, Whitlock joined other successful head coaches such as Florida State head football coach Bobby Bowden and University of Tennessee women’s basketball coach Pat Summitt as a contributor to Dr. Stephen Brennan’s book “Six Psychological Factors for Success.” In addition, Whitlock has written numerous articles for the NFCA’s Fastpitch Delivery Magazine.

In December of 2003, Whitlock received another honor when he became a member of the Cherry Hill, New Jersey based “Be the Best You Are” Softball Clinic Speakers’ Hall of Fame.

In the off-season, Whitlock spends much of his time working with young softball players around the country. He is the owner of Championship Softball Camps, a regional venture that draws over 500 young softball players annually. Whitlock is also a contributor to Arizona head coach ’s summer camp.

Whitlock has also spent time on the coaching staff of the United States National Softball Team. In 2006, he traveled with the squad and was a member of the USA staff that guided the U.S. to gold medal wins at the of Softball in Oklahoma City and the ISF Women’s World Championship in Beijing, China. The 2007 summer saw Whitlock serve again as a member of the national team staff, as they captured the Canada Cup and World Cup titles.

Whitlock was also a key figure in the Owls move into their new state-of-the-art facility, the Bobbie Bailey Complex. The complex, which opened in February 2004, is considered by many as one of the crown jewels of fastpitch facilities. During the planning process, Whitlock aided in fund-raising activities and was instrumental in the facility’s design and amenities.

During the off-season, Whitlock’s quick humor and affable personality makes him one of the most sought- after speakers in the country. His name is a fixture on the programs of some of the country’s top softball and baseball clinics. His expertise in the field is sought out by his peers, aspiring coaches and coaching professionals not only from the United States, but also from around the world.
