COACHING STAFF BIOS

Tom ArringtonHead Coach

Texas A&M University (1987) Overall record: 565-211 (.728), 13 seasons

Leading the baseball program at San Jacinto College means more than performing a job for Tom Arrington. The way he sees it, he has an obligation to both the College and his players to help them continue their development and extend their playing career. So far, so good for Arrington, who took over the San Jacinto College program as head coach prior to the 2001 season. Since then, San Jacinto College has made eight trips to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) JUCO World Series, including four appearances in the national title game, culminating as the national runner-up in 2003, 2004, 2010, and 2012.

Last season, San Jacinto College again won the Region XIV South Conference Championship after a 35-21 (22-8) regular season. Four players earned all-conference honors, and Arrington was named the Region XIV Coach of the Year.

Arrington’s 2012 season was another 40-win season for San Jacinto College, as it went 40-24 on the way to a national runner-up, the second in three years. Arrington earned his 500th career win in a 3-0 win over Blinn College on Feb. 18. Starting pitcher A.J. Glasshof hurled a complete game no-hitter, the first nine inning no-hitter in the College’s history. Six players were named to the All-Conference team, and, for a fourth consecutive year, Arrington was named the South Zone Coach of the Year. The team shut out the defending JUCO champions Navarro College 1-0 in the final game of the regional tournament to earn a record 22nd trip to the national tournament.

The 2011 season ended earlier than Arrington would have liked, but the success of his team and players can’t be overlooked. It was another 40-win season for San Jacinto College, six players were drafted in the Major League Baseball (MLB) first-year player draft, and the pitching duo of Tyler

Wright and Miguel Pena went 20-4 overall, earning All-America honors.

The 2010 season was one of the most successful under Arrington. He guided San Jac to an unprecedented 21st trip to the NJCAA World Series, finishing as the national runner-up. Four players were named to the All-Tournament team in Grand Junction, three earned postseason honors, and nine were selected in the MLB first-year player draft. San Jac’s appearance in the national championship game was the 12th in program history, and the national runner-up finish was the seventh. San Jac finished the season with a 52-12 overall record.

2009 was, by all measures, a successful season, despite not having a home field to play on due to construction at JR Harrison Field. Nine baseball student-athletes were named to the all-conference team, and Arrington was tabbed as the conference coach of the year. Deric Hawkins and Tommy Collier earned NJCAA All-American honors in leading San Jac to a 45-11 record, the conference title, and a tie for fourth at the World Series.

In 2008, Arrington led San Jac to a 44-14 record, and saw two of his players from that team drafted in the majors. San Jac advanced to the semifinals of the Region XIV tournament, just shy of a return trip to the JUCO World Series.

In 2007, Arrington guided San Jac to a 46-16 record, complete with another conference crown, Region XIV tournament title and a third-place finish at the World Series. Along the way, Arrington surpassed the 300-win mark as head coach at San Jacinto College, where he’s now 492-168 (.745) over seven seasons.

Wayne Graham, now the head coach at Rice University, led San Jac to five national titles from 1985 to 1990 and won

586 games over 11 seasons. Graham’s successor, Chris Rupp, took San Jac to four consecutive World Series (1997, 1998, 1999, 2000), with appearances in the national championship game in 1998 and 1999.

While the national title has proven to be elusive to San Jac under Arrington’s tutelage, Arrington and his staff have helped more than 100 of San Jacinto players find homes at the collegiate and professional levels. For him, it’s all part of his obligation as the team’s leader. “It’s extremely gratifying to have quality athletes come in here and help us be what we believe is the premier junior college program in the country,” Arrington said. “First and foremost, they are getting a quality education and at the same time they are continuing to develop and showcase their skills to a point where they either move on to the Division I level on scholarship or sign professional contracts for large signing bonuses. I think we accomplish those three goals, including the education, as well as anyone in the nation.”

Arrington is confident the day will come when the national trophy again comes home to Houston. It will take skill, desire and some luck, but Arrington is committed to ensuring that current and future San Jacinto College players are placed in a great position to be successful. “We have that desire to sustain our performance on the field, and with that hopefully comes a dominance of the region,” Arrington said. “With seven trips (to the national tournament) in 10 years, I think we’re doing that. That highly coveted first national championship for this group of coaches and the players is still in our sights. When it’s our year, it will be our year. I also believe that when we win one, we may win several after that. Our time is coming.”

With Arrington’s intense focus on the prize, there’s no reason to doubt his confidence. As a player, Arrington was intent on becoming the best he could be. His college

career included two seasons at Texas A&M University, and he later pitched at the Triple A level for both the Montreal Expos and Texas Rangers.

Arrington began his coaching career in 1991 at the College of Mateo. Later came stops at San Francisco State University and College of Marin. In 2000, Arrington arrived in Houston as San Jac’s assistant coach, where he focused on the pitchers. Nearly two seasons later, he was named head coach, and in the Spring of 2011, was named the athletic director for the San Jacinto College North Campus.

“We look at our program as one of the best in the country,” Arrington said. “We also have an obligation to make sure these young men get the best education possible. That’s simply a personal belief of mine. We have to prepare these guys for lifelong success, not just baseball success. They have to be able to deal with success or failure on and off the field. We live in a demanding society, so we make sure our players are prepared.”

The Mill Valley, Calif., native began his playing career at College of Marin where he was an all-conference selection. He then played two years at Texas A&M University where he earned two letters, was all-conference, and the Southwest Conference tournament most Valuable Player. He also earned the C.E. “Pat” Olsen MVP award. Arrington holds a master’s degree from San Francisco State University.

Arrington played professionally for the Triple A team of the Texas Rangers; in Guadalajara, Mexico; for the Salt Lake Trappers; and the Single A farm team of the Montreal Expos.

Coach Arrington and his wife, Marya, have a son Alden (14) and a daughter Anya Lily (11).

Assistant coach Jimmy Durham, now in his ninth season with San Jacinto College, understands plenty about winning. In 2005, Durham was an assistant coach at New Mexico Junior College when the Thunderbirds won the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) JUCO World Series. He came to San Jacinto College with the same goal in mind and knows that San Jacinto College is on target – especially after the success of the past several seasons.

“I think the standard for excellence and for winning at a high level has been set, and the players who come to San Jacinto College understand that and in turn do what’s necessary to be successful,” noted Durham. “You do have to have some luck to win the national title, but you also have to have the players and the dedication to be great. We have both of those here.”

A former high school standout in the Houston area at Madison High School, Durham played collegiately at Ranger Junior College and Lubbock Christian. He then went on to coach at the high school level at Livingston and Clements. He knows the area well and has used his connections to help San Jac recruit the best talent available. On the field, San Jac has used that talent to win big.

“We push our players to be better, but they expect that from us,” Durham said. “That’s why they come here. The players are looking for future success in the Division I ranks and perhaps the professional level. San Jacinto College is a great place to continue that growth as a player.”

Durham holds a bachelor of science degree from Lubbock Christian University and a master’s degree from the University of Houston. He has six children: Tyler (23), Maggie (22), Kyle (20), Andrew (17), AnnaMae (15), and Hannah (14). Jimmy and his wife Shannon were married on July 23, 2011.

Entering his 18th season at San Jacinto College, assistant coach D.J. Wilson has seen a tremendous amount of success with the program. Since coming to San Jacinto College, Wilson has been part of 12 national tournament teams, including six that have played for the national championship. “I feel very fortunate to be part of such a winning program, and having been to the JUCO World Series 12 times,” said Wilson. “Although we fell just short of a national title in those six games, I am still very proud of all of the players on those teams. Each and every time I’ve been to the JUCO World Series, it has felt like the first time, and has been very special for me.”

Wilson feels fortunate to have helped coach numerous players that have gone on to play in the professional ranks, and some that have played in the big leagues. “As we work hard to continue to get the top talent from the area, the state, and across the nation, I have the privilege of working with great players and great young men every season.”

Wilson has been a part of eleven conference championships (1999, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013) while at San Jacinto College, and contributes a major part of the program’s success to the College’s administration. “We have had some success getting top student-athletes into our baseball program and the support from our administration and faculty go a long way toward their success on and off the field,” noted Wilson. “We continue every year to help our players be successful on the field, and prepare them for success at the next level. They are also prepared to move on to major NCAA Division I universities and four-year colleges, and get a chance to earn an education through athletics. We are very proud of the number of baseball student-athletes that continue on to the next level both academically and professionally.”

Wilson also coached in the Karl Young Collegiate League in Houston, where he won the league championship twice as head coach of the Rough Necks from 1998 to 2004.

The 39-year-old Wilson played collegiately at San Jacinto College before moving on to the University of Houston where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in English. He holds a Master of Education in Health and Kinesiology from the University of Texas at Tyler. He and his wife, Alisha, have three daughters, Kylee (13), Madeline (7), and Leighton (2).

A former catcher at San Jacinto College (1999-2000), Kory Koehler is now entering his 14th season as an assistant coach with the team. As a player, Koehler got to play in the JUCO World Series, and during his time as a coach, the team has made eight trips to Grand Junction. Obviously, Koehler appreciates the success he’s been a part of as a coach. Winning at a consistent level certainly involves having talented players and crafted coaches, but Koehler has seen San Jacinto College go the extra step.

“The game slows down a lot when you’re coaching,” Koehler said. “You understand the intricacies a lot more as a coach. It’s a chess match between the two teams. I think we do a good job of controlling our emotions and letting the game come to us as opposed to trying to force the action. “I have played and coached along with some amazing coaches,” noted Koehler. “It was a pleasure to be a part of Tom Arrington’s 500th win here at San Jacinto College. He has been a mentor and great friend, and I am fortunate to be a part of San Jacinto College baseball.”

The 34-year-old Koehler, originally from North Bay, New York, graduated from the University of Houston in 2006 with a Bachelor of Science, and in 2008 with a Master of Education in Physical Education. Prior to coaching at San Jacinto College, he coached Adrean Post 625, Oneida County American Legion in Utica, N.Y., and the League City Hornets and Stan Musial Saints in Houston.

Kory is the physical education lead faculty and wellness director on the San Jacinto College North Campus. He and his wife, Erika, were married in November 2006, and welcomed their first child, Keaton Jax, in April 2011.

Jason Krug is in his sixth season with the San Jacinto College coaching staff. Prior to joining the San Jacinto College program, he spent two seasons as a volunteer assistant coach at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette where he assisted in the coaching of the middle infielders and hitters. In 2007, the Ragin Cajuns won the Sun Belt Conference championship and advanced to the NCAA regional tournament.

In December 2007, Krug was named the head coach of the Edenton (N.C.) Steamers in the Coastal Plains Summer Collegiate League. During the summer of 2008, the Steamers won the first-half divisional championship with an overall record of 20-7. For his efforts, he was named one of the head coaches for the 2008 Coastal Plains League All-Star game.

Krug has also held coaching positions as an assistant coach at Southwestern University, where he was the hitting coach. He worked as an instructor and coach for the Austin Wings, serving as the head coach for the 17-under premier showcase team. Other coaching stints include the 2000 AAU national finalist team and the 2001 Connie Mack state champions.

In 2006, Krug led the Wings to the 17-and-under Premier National Championship. Before entering the collegiate coaching ranks, Krug spent nine years teaching and coaching at the high school level. The 42-year old holds a bachelor’s degree in secondary education from Missouri Valley College, where he was a two-sport athlete in baseball and football.

San Jacinto College Baseball 201422

The commitment to excellence of the San Jacinto College baseball program is evident by the continuing efforts to keep John Ray Harrison Field on the forefront of junior college baseball. A lighting system and gated entrance were installed in 2002, and in 2009, a major overhaul of the filed was completed.

After the 1993 season, major renovations took place to John Ray Harrison Field. The San Jacinto Board of Trustees voted unanimously for the improvements. The renovations centered around new dressing rooms connected to the home and visitor dugouts, with 30 lockers and showers. The dugouts, a 15-foot warning track around the entire field, an improved draining system, public rest rooms, and a new pressbox / concession stand were also included.

San Jac baseball moved to its current home at the North Campus over 20 years ago. Prior to that, all home games were played at the Central Campus.

San Jacinto College North Campus5800 Uvalde Road, Houston, TX 77049281-998-6150Surrounded by the monuments of history, the industries and maritime enterprises of today, and the space age of tomorrow, San Jacinto College has been serving the citizens of East Harris County, Texas, since 1961. The Achieving the Dream Leader College is committed to the goals and aspirations of a diverse population of 30,000 credit students in more than 200 degree and certificate options, including university transfer and career preparation. Students also benefit from the College’s job training programs, renowned for meeting the needs of growing industries in the region. The College’s service area includes the Channelview, Deer Park, Galena Park, La Porte, Pasadena and Sheldon Independent School Districts, as well as portions of the Humble, Pearland, and Clear Creek school districts.

San Jacinto College’s roots date back to May of 1960 when voters in the district approved the creation of East Harris County Union Junior College and a seven-member Board of Regents was established. The name was changed a few times over its history to its current San Jacinto Community College District, although it has always been informally referred to as San Jacinto College. In September of 1961, 876 students attended the College at its location in Pasadena. Since then, the College has grown to include three campuses and 12 extension centers; a continuing and professional development division for continuing education and workforce training; distance learning; a dual credit program with local high schools, early college high schools in cooperation with Clear Creek ISD, Pasadena ISD, and Sheldon ISD; and an enrollment of more than 30,000 credit students each semester.

San Jacinto College is committed to the citizens of East Harris County. At the core of our values is student success... the reason for our being. Our comprehensive community college mission is to empower students who come with a wide variety of goals to find the assistance they need at their college, San Jacinto College.

We have made a strong commitment to academic excellence, and our award-winning faculty members are passionate about teaching. Our students choose from more than 200 degree and certificate programs in many different fields including academic transfer programs to four-year institutions and a wide variety of workforce training programs.

The College has placed an emphasis on upgrading facilities and technology to support student learning. Over the last decade, San Jacinto College has added new buildings to support teaching and learning in the sciences, fine arts, and technology fields.

In September 2008, San Jacinto College faced unprecedented challenges in the wake of Hurricane Ike. The College sustained significant damage, and as a result, was closed for two and a

half weeks following the storm. The instructional leaders and faculty diligently worked on a plan to complete all course learning outcomes through in-class instruction, out-of-class assignments, and incorporating technology into learning to allow students to successfully complete the semester without extending the term. The College plan was highly applauded by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) accreditation site visit team in November of 2008, when it granted the College reaccreditation.

In 2011, San Jacinto College was recognized as a leader in the national student completion movement when it was named an Achieving the Dream Leader College. Throughout the course of its participation in Achieving the Dream, San Jacinto College increased Fall-to-Spring persistence through a combination of interventions including the First Year Experience Calling Program, Mandatory New Student Orientation, a student success course, free tutoring, and the Men of Honor program.

San Jacinto College continues to lead in the Gulf Coast through grant-funded partnerships and collaboration with other colleges and organizations. The funds support student success through academic programs and initiatives promoting college retention and completion, regional workforce training, scholarships and tuition of various student programs, and creates pathways to higher education and to the workforce for middle and high school students.

Students and employees come to San Jacinto College with various goals and aspirations, and we remain committed to their success.

San Jacinto college Your Goals. Your College.
