Coach Of The Year
Mike Fox makes third straight trip to Omaha
DURHAM, N.C.—For leading North Carolina to its third straight College World Series appearance, including this season with a 54-14 record, Mike Fox earned Baseball America's Coach of the Year
award.
A North Carolina alumnus, Fox played in Omaha in 1978 and now has led the Tar Heels to three straight CWS appearances. They have gone 11-7 in CWS play in that time, with a pair of runner-up finishes and a third-place tie this season. North Carolina had made just four CWS appearances previously.
Amazingly, Fox is the first coach from an Atlantic Coast Conference school to win BA's award, which originated in 1981. Current Miami coach Jim Morris won the award in 1994 but the Hurricanes were not a member of the ACC at that time.
