Assistant Coach Greg Coleman
Coleman
begins his first season as a member of the Gannon coaching staff, but he is
no stranger to head coach Nate Cocolin and his baseball techniques. Coleman
had a stellar playing career at Embry-Riddle (Fla.) University, the same school
where Cocolin played collegiate baseball.
The St. Albans, Vt., native was a four-year starter (1998-2001) at Embry-Riddle,
playing second base for three seasons and third base as a senior. Coleman
was a two-time All-American and served as a team captain his senior season.
Coleman earned All-America honors for the first time as a sophomore, hitting
.397 with 58 runs and 29 RBI. In the process, he led Embry-Riddle to the NAIA
World Series for the first time in school history. He earned All-America honors
for a second time as a senior when he hit .390 with 39 runs and 26 RBI. Coleman
hit at least .372 during every collegiate season. His career numbers included
137 starts, 150 runs, 196 hits, 27 doubles, five triples, five home runs,
87 RBI, 248 total bases, 57 walks, and 55 stolen bases. A two-sport athlete,
Coleman also played basketball for one season at Embry-Riddle.
Most recently, Coleman spent the last two seasons as an assistant coach
at Seabreeze High School in Daytona Beach, Florida. He served as the hitting
coach while working with the infielders during practice. Seabreeze posted
a 39-17 record during his two seasons as an assistant coach, including a district
championship and appearance in the 2007 regional semifinals. He also served
as the head golf coach at Seabreeze.
In addition to his coaching responsibilities, Coleman spent numerous hours
helping the area youth as the head coach of the Ormond Beach Golden Spikes
AAU team and as an instructor at the TeamGuill baseball camps.
Coleman received a bachelor’s degree in Human Factors Engineering in 2002.
He later earned an associate’s degree in Business Administration. He is the
son of Gail and Mark Coleman and one of three bothers in addition to Jeremy
and Brian.
