Well deserved. Also, that has to help our recruiting.  ;D

Awesome honor.  I knew he was a killer coach, but had no idea of his past.  Pretty impressive what he accomplished as a softball player himself actually.

Deserved

That man has done A LOT with probably the worst and sh!tt!est complex of all of USF sports.

i don't know if anyone has ever been to a softball game here.

Can't wait to see what he can do with the new stadium.

I do believe that the seasons overlap and that one of the assistants will fill in for USF in his absence.

As for facilities, DePaul's are even worse than our old "stadium.". They don't even have lights and thus can't host in the NCAAs, despite being a national power year-in and year-out.  The grandstands are behind the outfield wall and are wheeled in across the soccer field, with the El clanging past seemingly every 15 seconds.

Is he going to do both USA and USF? Don't the seasons overlap?

Coach Eriksen said today there won't be a conflict during USF regular season. The 2011 Pan Am Games are in October, and the ISF World Championships in 2012 are scheduled for the summer.

Obviously he will have to pull double-duty in terms of scouting and evaluating possible players/staff members, but he will make it work. He admitted it probably means six hours of sleep per day, especially over the next few months, but was a sacrifice he was willing to make.

Good luck to him, and to the USA team.

Better luck to the USF team, though - hopefully we win it all this year!

Go Bulls!

I too wondered if this meant leaving the USF position

Hopefully this recognition enables him to accomplish twice as much in a conversation now so he doesn't have to spend so much time making his pitch.  That's quite a feather to have in your hat no one else does...
