#149: Gary Gilmore is the head baseball coach at Coastal Carolina University. In 2016 he led CCU to a National Championship winning the College World Series and was named the National Coach of the Year. 

A two-time ABCA Atlantic Region Coach of the Year (2005 and 2016) and a 10-time conference Coach of the Year, Gilmore ranks among the NCAA’s all-time top 25 in wins with 1,293 and is also ranked fourth overall in wins among all active NCAA Division I head coaches. 

Under his guidance, Coastal won the 2016 NCAA College World Series, has made 18 NCAA berths, advanced to a Super Regional three times, and he has earned the Big South Coach of the Year 9 times. In addition to team success, the program has featured numerous draft picks - including 26 players drafted within the top 10 rounds over the last 15 years and built perhaps the best overall practice and playing facilities in the nation.

Gilmore was be one of seven individuals inducted into the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) Hall of Fame as part of the 2022 Class in January 2023.

On the show he shares his story of growing up, getting into coaching, building the program at Coastal, winning a championship, building men, faith, family, his cancer battle, and much more. 

It was an honor having him on the show and I hope you enjoy it!
