Doffek is no stranger to the UWM program, having spent the past 12 years as the assistant head coach to Jerry Augustine. “This move should provide a seamless transition for our baseball program,” UWM athletic director Bud Haidet said. “Scott and Jerry have worked hard together to take our program to a high level, and I have no doubt that progress will continue. Scott is in a great position to keep things moving in the same positive direction.” A mainstay in the Milwaukee baseball program, Doffek enters his 13th season with the Panther coach- ing staff. “I feel extremely blessed to have this opportunity,” Doffek said. “The great thing is that I am coming into a position I’m very familiar with, especially when it comes to the day-to-day duties of all baseball operations. This roster is fi lled with players I have been working with all along and the guys know the way I work and what I expect of them. At the same time, I know how they work and what they expect from us. I see it as a very smooth transition.” As the assistant head coach in the past, he worked primarily with the team’s hitting and defensive units while also serving as the lead recruiter and overseeing the day-to-day operations of the program. The 2006 season will go down as a memorable one, as the Panthers won 30-plus games for the sixth time since UWM moved to the NCAA Division I level in 1991, going 32-25 overall. Doffek led the offense to great heights, with seven regulars batting over .300, paced by All-American MILWAUKEE’S RECORD IN DOFFEK’S TENURE YEAR OVERALL LEAGUE FINISH NOTES 1995 21-24-0 6-9 4th/MCC West School record for wins 1996 23-26-0 13-8 2nd/MCC School record for wins 1997 28-30-0 13-11 3rd/MCC School record for wins 1998 33-15-1 14-6 2nd/MCC School record for wins/win percentage School’s fi rst above-.500 record 1999 31-29-0 11-7 2nd/MCC MCC Tournament Champions School’s fi rst NCAA appearance Defeated No. 1 Rice WBCA Co-Coach of the Year 2000 30-24-0 12-6 1st/MCC MCC Regular Season Champions 2001 39-18-0 16-4 1st/MCC MCC Regular Season Champions MCC Tournament Champions NCAA Tournament appearance School record for wins/win percentage 2002 36-20-0 15-8 2nd/Horizon Horizon League Tournament Champions NCAA Tournament appearance Fifth-straight 30+ win season 2003 25-25-0 13-10 3rd/Horizon Seventh-straight 25+win season 2004 23-30-0 9-10 4th/Horitzon Eighth-straight 20+ win season 2005 26-31-0 12-8 3rd/Horizon Ninth-straight 20+ win season 2006 32-25 18-12 2nd/Horizon Won 30+ games for 6th time in 9 years TOTALS 347-297-1 152-99 2 HHeadead CCoachoach SScottcott DDoffekoffek 2007 MMilwaukeeilwaukee PPanthersanthers Baseball outfi elder Mike Goetz.
