Guest Speaker
Speaker: Brian Kolze, 30 years of coaching Pacific Softball Teams
Introduced By: Diane Staufer
Coach Kolze shared in Rotary and the community’s loss of Cliff Dochterman, Sr. He never knew him well but went through school with Cliff, Jr.
Coach explained his experience through school and a broadcasting and local sales job, but jumped at the opportunity to coach softball, starting at UNLV. He has been with the UOP program for 30-years and has never wanted to leave the home he loves. UOP AD Bob Lee hired him, and he has worked for seven other ADs.
Archie Griffen interviewed him once for the Ohio State coaching job, but he knew it wasn’t for him. There are 1/3 more Division I softball programs today than there was 30-years ago. Six of his former players are currently head coaches.
Coach Kolze is now on the NCAA DI playoff selection committee. His biggest coaching lesson was allowing his assistance to manage rather than micro-managing (He stays in the dug-out now). He and Tori Verber (Salazar) ushered as kids when Dr. Joe Serra was the team Doctor. Coach Kolze was kind enough to stay after the closing bell to answer questions.
A $50 contribution and donated Book to Spanos Elementary in the speakers name and some Bubbly and Glasses!
Next Meeting: December 8, 2021
