	Speaker Biographies

Ron Polk	Mississippi State
	A native of Boston, Mass., Polk is in his second tour as head baseball coach at Mississippi State. He initially served as head coach at MSU from 1976 until his retirement from coaching after guiding State to the 1997 College World Series. After a four-year absence, Polk returned to the post for the 2002 season. In the two seasons prior to his return to State, Polk served as head coach at the University of Georgia, guiding the 2001 UG Bulldogs to an SEC championship and an appearance in the College World Series. Polk's 33-year overall coaching record stands at 1,312-647-2, fifth-most wins among active NCAA Division I baseball coaches. Even more impressive is his career top 10 standing among Division I's all-time coaching ranks. Polk, whose teams have averaged just under 40 wins per season, became college baseball's ninth winningest coach of all-time during the 2006 season. Perhaps no figure in all of college baseball is more widely recognized and respected than Polk, who became the winningest coach in SEC history during a remarkable 22-year run as Mississippi State head baseball coach from 1976 to 1997. During that span he compiled an 888-422 record (.678), leading the Bulldogs to SEC regular season or tournament championships five times (1979, 1985, 1987, 1989 and 1990) and securing MSU baseball's place in college baseball's national picture 15 NCAA regional tournament berths and five appearances in the prestigious NCAA College World Series (1979, 1981, 1985, 1990 and 1997).

Doug Jones	Tusculum
	Doug Jones is entering his 11th season as the head coach at Tusculum College and is the winningest coach in the history of the program. Jones has guided Tusculum to six consecutive winning seasons, while posting a school record 277 victories in his nine previous campaigns in Greeneville. He has directed a program into one of its most successful and exciting periods. In 2005, he guided the Pioneers to a school record 44-17 record, while capturing both the South Atlantic Conference Championship and SAC Tournament titles. The Pioneers became the first team in league history to lose its opening tournament game and win the next six to claim the SAC Tournament crown. He also led Tusculum to its second NCAA postseason berth in three years. The Pioneers defeated No. 9 Tampa 2-1 in the opening round before falling to eventual national champion Florida Southern. Tusculum ended the year ranked No. 13 in NCAA Division II, led by SAC Pitcher of the Year and All-American Brent Gabel.

Daron Shoenrock	Memphis
	The 16th baseball coach in school history, Daron Schoenrock enters his third full season at the controls of Memphis baseball. After a rocky inaugural season, Schoenrock confirmed what many in the coaching world believed to be true when he was hired--that he was one of the top new head coaches in the business and that he could turn around a once successful Memphis baseball program. Schoenrock inherited a program that had lost its top three pitchers and 10 seniors from 2004, and struggled through a 13-42 campaign in 2005. He has wasted little time working to get the Tiger baseball program back on track, signing 25 newcomers for the 2006 season, including four four-year transfers, a National Junior College Player of the Year honoree and five major league draftees. Schoenrock brought those additions together and led the Tiger to a 32-win season in just his second campaign. The 32 wins were the most wins for Schoenrock in his three years as a head coach and the most by a Memphis baseball club since 2001. The 19-game turnaround tied for the second-best winning turnaround in the country in 2006 and also tied for the best turnaround in Tiger baseball history--tying that of the 2001 team. Along with that 32-28 mark came Memphis' first appearance in the Conference USA semifinals since the 2001 season.

Derek Johnson	Vanderbilt
	Derek Johnson is now in his seventh season as an assistant coach for the Commodores and is widely considered one of the top pitching coaches in the country. Four of his last five staffs have led the Southeastern Conference in ERA while also being ranked nationally at No. 15 (2003), No. 7 (2004) and No. 17 (2005) and No. 13 (2007) respectively. Johnson's 2007 crew led the SEC in eight statistical categories including ERA (3.55), strikeouts (632), opponents batting average (.238), complete games (7) and runs allowed (266). Vanderbilt hurlers also threw a school record 606.2 innings in 67 games with 13 saves. Six pitchers were drafted and signed into the professional ranks led by No. 1 overall pick David Price (Tampa Bay Devil Rays) and the No. 8 overall pick Casey Weathers (Colorado Rockies). Price (the consensus National Player of the Year) shattered the school's single season and career strikeout records in just three years and Weathers, just two years removed from playing the outfield in junior college, developed into the top closer in the country in 2007 with 10 wins in relief.

Bill Mosiello	Auburn
	Prior to his minor league experience, Mosiello, 42, spent 15 seasons in the collegiate coaching ranks. After graduating from Fresno State in 1986, he began his coaching career at Cerritos College and posted a 163-34 record in four seasons (1987-90). He won four South Coast Conference titles and two California state junior college championships. In 1993 and 1994 he served as Rod Delmonico's assistant at Tennessee, where the Volunteers claimed consecutive Southeastern Conference championships. Future major leaguers R.A. Dickey and Todd Helton earned All-America recognition and were first-round draft picks. After one season as pitching coach at Mississippi in 1995, Mosiello spent five seasons (1996-2000) at Oklahoma with part of his tenure as associate head coach. At Oklahoma, the Sooners posted several top finishes in the final national and conference fielding rankings, including a streak of three straight first-place finishes in the Big 12 Conference. Offensively, none of his teams at Oklahoma hit worse than a .309 clip.

Todd Raliegh	Tennessee
	An outstanding eight-year head coaching tenure at Western Carolina lifted Raleigh into the national spotlight and set the stage for his introduction as Tennessee's 23rd all-time head coach. During his eight seasons in Cullowhee, N.C., Raleigh's clubs won two regular-season Southern Conference championships, one Southern Conference tournament title, turned in five top-three league finishes and made two NCAA Regional appearances - reaching the Regional final both times. He also was named the 2002 and 2007 Southern Conference Coach of the Year. One of the many strengths Hamilton saw in Raleigh was the young coach's willingness to play a highly competitive schedule against the region's top programs. Games against Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference teams were regular staples in the Catamounts' schedule during Raleigh's tenure. Upon his departure from Western Carolina, Raleigh had won three of his last five meetings with Georgia, three of his last four meetings with Georgia Tech (including a win over the top-ranked Yellow Jackets in 2005) and two of his last four meetings against Clemson.

Fred Corral	Tennessee
	“This is an exciting addition,” Raleigh said. “Fred Corral brings a wealth of experience at this level, and he’s one of the most respected pitching coaches in the country. His track record of developing pitchers is second to none. He knows the University of Tennessee, having coached here before, and he’ll add a lot to our staff.” During Corral’s first stint at Tennessee, he directed the Volunteers pitching staff to the upper echelons of the pitching-rich Southeastern Conference as well as the nation. His staffs posted consecutive sub-3.90 ERAs while combining for a 2.3 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Tennessee’s 3.16 walks allowed per nine innings in 2003 stands as the second-best mark in program history, and UT’s 2004 team ERA (3.51) ranked among the top 15 in the country. Six of the pitchers Corral mentored at Tennessee went on to be selected in the MLB draft. He signed James Adkins and coached Luke Hochevar, hurlers who now rank first and third on UT’s all-time strikeouts list, respectively, and are currently in the process of ascending toward the major leagues.
