His head coaching career spans 38 years, 22 of which were heading up the Red Raiders program. His successor is current associate head coach Dan Spencer.

College World Series Field Set; Defending Champions Absent, Miami No.1 Overall
The 64 team field for the college world series was chosen yesterday. Noticeably absent, the back to back defending champion Oregon State Beavers. This is the first time since Georgia in 1991 that a defending champion has failed to qualify for the tournament. The Beavers finished the season 28-24.
While the Beavers are noticeably absent, the Miami Hurricanes are ever present. Fresh off their ACC tournament win and after spending six of the last seven weeks ranked No.1, the Hurricanes have garnered the overall No.1 seed and will play Bethune-Cookman in their first match. The Hurricanes have not been the No.1 overall seed since winning the tournament in 1999. They are the only team to have been ranked top seed overall and went on to win the tournament.
Miami is not the only team from the ACC to make the field. The University of North Carolina (No. 2 overall seed) and Florida State University are also number one seeds. In total, the ACC has 6 teams in the 64 field tournament as does the Big 12. The SEC is the lead conference with 9 teams, including Arkansas which failed to make the 8 team SEC tournament.
The regionals will begin May 30th.
