COLUMBIA — South Carolina has signed
basketball coach Dave Odom to a two-year contract extension that will
include more pay.
Odom, the 2003-04 Southeastern Conference coach of the year, will receive a
$10,000 raise, giving him a base salary of $160,000. His contract runs
through the 2007-08 season.
The deal still has to be approved by university trustees.
This past year was Odom's best since arriving at South Carolina three years
ago. His team went 23-11 and reached the NCAA tournament for the first time
since 1998.
Odom is 57-42 during his tenure at South Carolina. He is 335-216 in his
18-year head-coaching career, which includes stints at Wake Forest and East
Carolina.
Memphis turns to SEC ranks for baseball coach
Mississippi State assistant coach Daron Schoenrock
will become the 16th head coach in the history of the Memphis baseball
program, Tigers athletic director R.C. Johnson announced last week.
Schoenrock (pronounced SHONE-rock) recently
completed his third season as an assistant coach on the MSU staff, and his
fifth year in association with MSU skipper Ron Polk. His primary
responsibilities included coaching Bulldog pitchers and overseeing the
team's recruiting efforts.
Schoenrock was also instrumental in coordinating the
activities of the Bulldogs' foster-parent program.
Regarded as one of the college baseball's premier
pitching coaches, Schoenrock has sent 20 of his pitchers to the professional
level. Three Bulldog pitchers were recently taken in the 2004 First-Year
Player Draft.
He has authored a comprehensive textbook on pitching
titled "The Total Pitching Program."
Prior to joining Polk at MSU, he served as Georgia's
pitching coach in 2000 and 2001. In Athens, he developed the pitching staff
that in 2001 helped boost Georgia to its first SEC championship in 47 years
and its first appearance in the NCAA College World Series since 1990.
He launched his affiliation with Southeastern
Conference baseball in 1998 at the University of Kentucky, where he served
two seasons on the coaching staff of former MSU baseball staffer Keith
Madison.
Schoenrock's coaching expertise gained national
acclaim during a highly-successful eight-year coaching stint at Birmingham
Southern. His Panther pitchers improved their staff earned run averages each
season and helped lead Birmingham Southern to the 1995 NAIA World Series.
Schoenrock was a four-year starting pitcher under
Coach David Mays at Tennessee Tech University, launching his coaching career
as a graduate assistant coach there in 1985.
