  • Rod Dedeaux ˨ the Architect of Usc Baseball R Rod
    RODRRODOD DEDEAUXDDEDEAUXEDEAUX ˨˨ THETTHEHE ARCHITECTAARCHITECTRCHITECT OOFOFF UUSCUSCSC BBASEBALLBASEBALLASEBALL On January 5, 2006, the USC baseball program suff ered the loss of Rod Dedeaux, one of the greatest college coaches ever, who passed away at the age of 91. Not only was Dedeaux the main architect for the success of the USC baseball program, but also one of the great ambassadors for college baseball and amateur baseball in international competition. In his 45-year tenure at USC (1942-86), Dedeaux led the Trojans to 11 national championships and 28 conference titles. He posted an overall record of 1,332-571-11 for a superb .699 winning percentage. At his retirement, he had won more games than any other college baseball coach (he currently ranks seventh among Division I coaches). His teams from 1970-74 won fi ve straight NCAA championships, a record that may never be broken. No other school has won more than two in a row. Two personal honors for Dedeaux, which are quite fi tting considering his accomplishments, came in 1999 when he was named “Coach of the Century” by both Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball. As part of the 50th anniversary of the College World Series in 1996, Dedeaux was named the head coach of the All-Time CWS team by a panel of former World Series coaches, media and college baseball offi cials. In 1999, he was presented with keys to the city of Omaha (home to the College World Series). Dedeaux was named Coach of the Year six times by the American Baseball Coaches Association and was inducted into the organization’s Hall of Fame in 1970.

  • The Baseball Coaching Bible Pdf
    The baseball coaching bible pdf Continue Much more than a book about skills, strategy, or exercise, the Baseball Coaching Bible is a career for the sport. Many of the game's greatest coaches ever known - including coaches of the century in high school, junior college, NAIA, and Division I, II, III, as called collegiate baseball - combine to cover all aspects of coaching. 27 contribution coaches share their keys to championship baseball, something they know well by winning 50 national titles and nearly 25,000 games. The Baseball Coaching Bible covers all aspects of coaching, with every coach addressing the issue he knows best. From head of Bobby Winkles on Instilling Noise and Ron Polk's chapter on organizing the winning program, Ed Cheff's chapter on innovative practices and head of Rod Dedeaux on creating pride and tradition, the Baseball Coaching Bible goes beyond Xs and Os. A diverse and huge amount of information book allows you to choose what you implement in your program in any particular season, but you will learn and have fun with it all. The wit and wisdom of baseball's sharpest minds shine through their memorable stories and valuable ideas. Jerry Kindall and John Winkin organized and edited the content. Coach Dave Keillos's influence is a strong and appropriate introduction. From there, the book flows logically and quickly through six sections: - Coaching Priorities and Principles with chapters from John Scolinos, Chuck Bobo Brayton, Hal Smeltzly, Bob Smith, and Winkles. - Construction and management of programs with recordings of Ken Schreiber, Marc Marquez, Ron Fraser and Polk.
