Coach Profiles

Tom ArringtonHead CoachTexas A&M University (1985)Overall Record: 492-168 (.745), 12th season

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 Jac has made seven trips to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) JUCO World Series, including three appearances in the national title game, and a thrilling run through Grand Junction, culminating as the national runner-up in 2010.

Last 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 Jac, 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 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. 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.

The 48-year-old Arrington and his wife, Marya, have a son Alden (12) and a daughter Anya Lily (9).


Jimmy DurhamAssistant CoachLubbock Christian (1978)Seventh season

Assistant coach Jimmy Durham, now in his seventh 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 that season. He came to San Jacinto College with the same goal in mind and knows that San Jac is on target – especially after the success of the 2010 season.

“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 from Lubbock Christian and a master’s degree from the University of Houston. He has six children: Tyler (21), Maggie (20), Kyle (18), Andrew (15), and AnnaMae (13), and Hannah (12). Jimmy and his new bride Shannon were married on July 23, 2011.

Coach Profiles

D.J. WilsonAssistant CoachUniversity of Houston (2004)16th season

Entering his 16th season at San Jacinto College, assistant coach D.J. Wilson has seen a tremendous amount of success with the program. Since he joined the program, Wilson has been part of 11 national tournament teams, including five 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 11 times,” said Wilson. “Although we fell just short of a national title in those five 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 eight conference championships (1999, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010) while at San Jac, 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 37-year-old Wilson played collegiately at San Jac 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 (11), Madeline (5), and Leighton (6 months).


Kory KoehlerAssistant CoachUniversity of Houston (2006)12th season

Matt CoburnGraduate CoachSan Jacinto College (2007)1st season

A former catcher at San Jacinto College (2000), Kory Koehler is now entering his 12th 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. 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 Jac 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 basically 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 will be a pleasure to be a part of Tom Arrington’s 500th win here at San Jac. He has been a mentor and great friend, and I am fortunate to be a part of San Jacinto College baseball.”

The 32-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 Jac he coached Adrean Post 625, Oneida County American Legion in Utica, N.Y., and the League City Hornets and Stan Musial Saints in Houston.

Koehler and his wife, Erika, were married in November 2006, and welcomed their first child, Keaton Jax, in April 2011.

Matt Coburn returns to San Jacinto College as an assistant pitching coach after a successful playing career at San Jacinto College (2006-2007). After San Jacinto College, Coburn went on to play at Texas Christian University and Concordia University before pitching for the Normal Cornbelters and the Houston Toros, both independent professional baseball organizations.

Jason KrugAssistant CoachMissouri Valley College (1995)Fourth season

Jason Krug is in his fourth season with the San Jacinto College coaching staff. Prior to joining the San Jac 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 also 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 40-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 Jac players in professional baseball

San Jacinto College is as prolific as any other two-year school in the nation when it comes to sending players to the professional ranks. Last season, six San Jac baseball players were selected in the 2011 Major League Baseball (MLB) First-Year Player Draft. Houston area baseball fans are well versed in the success of former players Andy Pettitte and Roger Clemens, but the list doesn’t end there. Pitchers Matt Albers of the Boston Red Sox, Mike Gonzalez (Texas), and Jesse Crain (Chicago White Sox); outfielder Kevin Russo (New York Yankees); San Francisco first base-man Brandon Belt; and Atlanta third baseman Brandon Hicks are also former San Jac players on major leaguerosters heading into spring training. Nick Stavinoha and Jared Wells are also former players who have seen big league playing time – Sta-vinoha with the St. Louis Cardinals, and Wells, now with the Colorado Rockies after spending 2011 with the Houston Astros Triple A affiliate Corpus Cristi Hooks.

Albers was originally drafted by the Houston Astros in the 23rd round of the June 2001 First Year Player Draft, and is a current member of the Boston Red Sox. Since his debut on July 25, 2006, Albers has gone 19-29 with a 5.04 ERA.

Gonzalez, drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates, made his major league debut on Aug. 11, 2003. He has played four seasons with Pittsburgh, three with the Atlanta Braves, one with the Baltimore Orioles, and last season with the Texas Rangers, where he reached the World Series. For his career he is 17-21 with a 2.94 ERA. In 387 games and 358.2 innings pitched, he’s posted 56 saves.

Crain has been in the majors since making his debut in August 2004. He is 41-24 overall with a 3.30 ERA and four saves. Last season, with the Chicago White Sox, he went 8-3 appearing in 67 games and 65.1innings.

Russo made his major league debut on May 8, 2010. For the 2010 season, he hit .184 in 31 games and 49 plate appearances. He spent the 2009 season at AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, batting .326 (115-for-353) with 51 runs, 18 doubles, 5 home runs, 31 RBI and 13 stolen bases in 90 games. He led all Yankees minor leaguers in batting aver-age.

Belt made his major league debut on March 31, 2011, with the San Francisco Giants. On the season, in 63 games, he hit .225 behind 42 hits and 18 RBI.

Hicks was called up to the majors in May 2010, and saw action in just 16 games with the Braves. Last season he appeared in 17 games.

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 Your Goals. Your College.

John Ray Harrison Field

The San Jacinto College North campus serves the Sheldon, Galena Park, and Channelview independent school districts. Located at 5800 Uvalde Road in Houston, Texas, the North campus is nestled on more than 105 wooded acres convenient to the communities of North Shore, Channelview, Sheldon, Galena Park, and Jacinto City. The North houses the College’s baseball and women’s basketball teams, as well as the College debate team.

In addition to providing quality education, San Jacinto College North also serves as a convenient hub for its community, generally known as the North Channel area due to the proximity to the thriving Houston Ship Channel. Local service organizations and business groups often hold regular meetings at the North campus, including the North Shore Rotary Club, the North Channel Area Chamber of Commerce, San Jacinto Pilot Club, Wendell Ley Family YMCA, League of United Latin American Citizens, and Head Start.

The North Channel area is one of the most demographically diverse parts of Harris County, where vibrant mixes of people from various backgrounds live and work. Like the community, the North campus is a “melting pot” of students representing a variety of nationalities.

The economy of the North Channel area is also diverse, with a strong representation of small and medium businesses, petrochemical plants, maritime industries, warehouse and distribution centers, fabricating operations, and hospital, retail and service companies. To prepare students for the global marketplace, and to ensure companies have a well-trained work force, the North campus offers high quality academic instruction. In addition, fast-track training in a wide range of technical and health science programs is available. Programs range from diesel, automotive collision and welding technologies, to vocational nursing, engineering design graphics, culinary arts, and cosmetology.

San Jacinto College North has earned a well-deserved reputation for maintaining a tradition of academic excellence and high standards. Three of the College’s technical programs — information technology, real estate and paralegal — have earned the prestigious recognition of Exemplary Workforce Education Program rating by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.

Students at San Jacinto College North learn from master teachers and engage with a rich academic curriculum that prepares them to enter the diverse workforce and for transfer to four-year universities. To help students achieve their academic goals, the North campus enjoys rich collaboration with secondary schools of the North Channel community. Some of the many initiatives developed with local school districts include the Modified Early College Academy (MECA), dual credit, shared counselors, Scholars Academy, and Upward Bound Math and Science.

A notable collaboration between the North campus and local secondary schools is TRIO, three federally-funded programs that provide services and support for low-income households, and for students who will be the first in their families to graduate from college. The TRIO programs provide academic, career and financial counseling to participants and encourage them to graduate from high school and continue to earn postsecondary degrees.

Student-athletes in baseball and women’s basketball play competitively in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). The women’s basketball team has advanced to the Region XIV playoffs three times since 2002, while the baseball team continues its tradition of excellence year after year, having made 21 overall appearances at the JUCO World Series, with a national runner up finish in 2010.

By serving as a meeting place for area organizations, providing high caliber education in academic and technical courses, celebrating a diverse and inclusive community, and by collaborating with local secondary schools, San Jacinto College’s North campus responds to the unique needs of the North Channel communities and helps to ensure the growing San Jacinto College community remains robust and thriving.
