Name: Doug Williams
Title: Head Coach
|
|
| |
|
Doug Williams, whose Bulldogs have averaged 32 wins per season since 1995, enters his thirteenth season as head coach. In 2007, Williams guided the Bulldogs to a 33-9 record, a sixth consecutive Coast Conference North Championship and a eleventh trip to the Northern California State Playoffs. One of his most memorable experiences was seeing his first team at CSM claim the 1995 Coast Conference National Division championship. The Bulldogs posted a 38-11 record in Williams' first season, setting a school single-season record for victories. His twelve-year record at CSM is 418-166 and he is a 5-time recipient of the Coast Conference Coach of the Year Award, most recently winning the award in 2006. During his tenure, 155 out of 164 players have transferred on to 4-year schools or signed professionally.
Williams played NCAA Division I ball at U.C. Santa Barbara during the 1987-88 seasons. Williams, a native of nearby Belmont, played the infield and pitched for Carlmont High, from which he graduated in 1983. He began his Bulldog career as a player for legendary John Noce during the 1984-86 seasons, including a redshirt year. In his last season at CSM, the Bulldogs won the championship of the old Golden Gate Conference, which was the school's last title until Williams guided the Bulldogs to the 1995 crown.
Williams began his coaching career as an assistant to Noce at CSM from 1990-92, which were the last three seasons of the 31 that Noce guided CSM. Williams also gained summer coaching experience in Perugia, Italy, in a professional league in Europe.
In 1993 Williams' alma mater, Carlmont High School, put out an emergency call for a varsity baseball coach. When the opening suddenly developed to lead a defending section champion, Williams answered the call. He not only coached Carlmont to its second consecutive Central Coast Section Division II championship, but he called the pitches as his staff hurled four consecutive shutouts during the playoffs- a feat never before or since accomplished since the sectional tournament began in 1967.
Williams was hired as assistant coach and pitching coach at the University of San Francisco in 1994. He helped that team achieve its best season in many years. When the CSM job opened in the summer of 1994, Williams returned to the Bulldogs.
Williams holds a Master's Degree, having written a thesis entitled "A Three-Dimensional Biomechanical Analysis of Fastball and Fork-ball pitchers." Williams was featured on the front page of an issue of Collegiate Baseball Magazine as a result of his ground-breaking thesis, which included a video and computer analysis of former Oakland A's pitching star Dave Stewart.
Williams and his wife Liliana reside in Belmont.
