Sherri Stephens Director of Athletics Page 2 TOM IANNACONE Director Of Athletics Tom Iannacone is in his fourth year as the University of San Diego Director of Athletics. He assumed the position September 1, 1988 after a nationwide search. The 50-year-old Iannacone has made great strides in his first three years. His accomplishments at USD include an on-going internal reorganization of the athletic de partment, plus improvements in the major areas of new per sonnel, additional scholarship assistance, facilities improve ments, promotions and marketing, fund raising, drug education, academic support, and a new university approved plan for scholarship support and sports sponsorship. Iannacone came to the University of San Diego with an impressive list of credentials and a thorough knowledge of intercollegiate athletics. Prior to USO he was Director of Ath letics for four years at St. Francis College in Loretto, Pennsyl vania. Hard work, loyalty and dedication are just some of the words that easily describe Iannacone. His major contributions at St. Francis included the expansion of sports offerings and schol arships for both men and women, improved budgets, renovation of athletic facilities, the hiring of additional staff, and the estab lishment of a master plan for the future and continual develop ment of athletics. He served on several committees, most notably the ECAC Infractions committee and the Northeast Conference committee on conference development, which de veloped a plan for the future and implemented the position for a full-time commissioner. Currently Iannacone serves as a consultant to the NCAA I-AAA Football Committee. Prior to his tenure at St. Francis, Iannacone served as as sistant athletic director at Fordham University from 1977-84. Along with his administrative duties at Fordham, he was an assistant football coach for the Rams. From 1975-78, he acted as offensive coordinator and backfield coach as Fordham captured 19 victories in their final 24 games during this span. The 1977 squad was and remains the highest scoring team in Fordham history, averaging 34 points per game. In 1983 Iannacone was presented the prestigious Jack Coffey Award by the Alumni Association for outstanding contributions to Fordham athletics. He also served on various Metro Atlantic Conference committees. Prior to Fordham, Iannacone taught physical education and coached track and football in the Norwalk, Ridgefield and New Milford (CT) school districts from 1964-76. He made his col legiate football coaching debut as an offensive backfield coach at Western Connecticut State University in 1974. A 1964 graduate of the University of Connecticut, Iannacone received his master of science degree in physical education from Southern Connecticut State University in 1973. Tom and his wife, Cynthia, have three children: Tom Jr., Jennifer and Eric; all three are students at USD. West Coast Conference Page 3 W WR.,T. ,, ____ ,.,._, .-. r........... ·nA.,T.'-"""'"-.~,.,._, .... I ,'I IN/1'1t:H1t:NI ,'/f; The WCC has continued to prove itself as one of the strongest collegiate baseball conferences in the country. Pepperdine was the league's automatic qualifier to the NCAA Regionals in 1991 while LMU represented the WCC in 1990. Both teams appeared at the NCAA's in 1989. Other conference members include the University of San Diego, the University of San Francisco, Santa Clara University and St. Mary's College. Pepperdine has won the WCC crown in six of the last seven years and has won or shared every conference title but one since 1974. Baseball was originally established as a conference sport in 1968. However, from 1977 through 1984, WCC teams com peted with teams from the PCAA in the Northern California Baseball Association (Nevada, St. Mary's, San Francisco, Santa Clara, Pacific, San Jose State, Fresno State), and the Southern California Baseball Association (Pepperdine, Loyola Marymount, and San Diego from the WCC). For the first time this year, the WCC will play a 30-game round robin schedule with the league champion receiving the WCC's automatic bid to the NCAA playoffs. wee STAFF 400 Oyster Point Blvd.,
