South Carolina makes changes to baseball coaching staff
247Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- South Carolina baseball has fired its entire on-field coaching staff, including interim head coach Monte Lee, pitching coach Terry Rooney, and assistant coach John Hendry.
- Lee, Rooney, and Hendry were retained from previous coaching regimes but were informed they will not return following a disappointing season and poor pitching performance.
- Other staff members such as director of operations Chris Gordon, strength coach Billy Anderson, and special assistant Stuart Lake remain until a new head coach is hired.
- The decision follows a historically poor pitching season with a 6.41 ERA and a 22-6 loss to Arkansas that led to former head coach Paul Mainieri's departure.
- Athletics director Jeremiah Donati is currently conducting a search for a new head coach to lead the program moving forward.
