New coach arrives at Kansas with notable junior college record
The Kansas Athletics Department has hired a new assistant baseball coach.
Rick Sabath will coach catchers and hitters and will serve as the bench coach for Kansas baseball coach Ritch Price. Sabath spent the past three seasons as the head coach at Garden City Community College in Garden City.
"He has been one of the most successful junior college coaches in the state of Kansas and throughout the entire Midwest," Price said. "Not only is he an outstanding coach, but he is an outstanding person and we think he is a great fit for our program."
Last season, Sabath lead Garden City to a 41-17 record and one win shy of the Junior College World Series.
Sabath received his masters' degree from Kansas in 1996.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Off to their best start in a decade and with a 37-game road losing streak in conference play finally behind them, Baylor coach Guy Morriss and the Bears are interested to see what kind of reaction they get back home.
FOOTBALL
After all, the Bears (4-1, 1-1 Big 12) have hardly been in Waco this season. Four of their first five games were on the road.
Bears take home winning record
BY JEFF LATZKE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
After a 23-13 victory at Iowa State on Saturday, the Bears announced a "Fill the Floyd" effort to pack the 50,000-seat Floyd Casey Stadium for Saturday's game against Nebraska. In their only home game so far this season,
36,595 fans turned out.
"It will be interesting to see how many folks show up," Morriss said Monday. "I think enthusiasm right now is pretty high. We're expecting a big crowd. I hope that we get a big crowd."
The 4-1 record is Baylor's best since 1995, the team's last year in the Southwestern Conference. Baylor finished 7-4 and moved to
the Big 12 a season later.
Already, the Bears have four victories in a season for the first time since 1996, and players are starting to be treated differently on campus.
"It's the first time in forever that we've been 4-1," Morriss said. "We just have to speak to them as coaches about tuning that stuff out."
Changes

"I have come to the conclusion that too much blame has been put on the quarterbacks here," Mangino said. "There is enough ineptitude to go around on offense to go around for everyone."
Mangino admitted that the offensive performance was the worst since he arrived at Kansas in 2002. The offense had just 236 yards of total offense and turned the ball over three times. The Jayhawks converted points in one out of four redzone opportunities, after coming into the game with a 100 percent conversion rate.
addressed this week in practice. He did not credit the Kansas State defense for stopping the Kansas offense.
Mangino said that the offensive struggles were ultimately his responsibility and that the problems would be
"The quarterback needs some help. He needs some help from the other 10 guys out there," Mangino said.
"Kansas State did not do things much differently than they had not done in the last couple of years." Mangino said. "We did not respond properly."
Barmann started the game, but was replaced by Luke. They combined for seven completions against Kansas State and were unable to move the ball, despite receiving great position from the KU defense. Kansas accumulated just eight first downs on the day.
Mangino said the team did not plan on having a pre-game walkthrough at Arrowhead Stadium before Saturday's game in Kansas City, Mo. He said the team would have the walk-through in Lawrence and take a bus to the game.
Football Note:
Chemistry
Edited by Ty Beaver
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10A
Q: Were you a natural when you started playing?
A: No. I don't remember, really.
I remember one time getting hit in the head when I wasn't paying attention to the game, so I guess not.
Q: Major?
A: Sports management.
Q: What are your plans after you graduate?
A: Not quite sure. I've thought a lot about going to Brazil to live for a little while and learn Portuguese. That's where my boyfriend's from.
Q: I saw you're from Loveland, Colo. What do you miss most about Colorado?
A: Oh, the mountains, no doubt. I love the mountains. I'm a mountain girl.
Q: Why did you come to KU, away
from the mountains?
A: (Laughing) People ask me that a lot. Just the strong volleyball program. I came on my visit and got hooked.
A lot of it was the team chemistry. Everyone got along. I went to a game and it was an awesome atmosphere in terms of fans and everything. I liked what I saw.
Q: What did setting the assist record mean to you?
A: Personally, it was just a good feeling.
I got to do it in front of my friends and family from Colorado, so that was the best part of it — good feeling for all my family to be there and my mom and dad.
Q: Before the season, did you circle that game, planning on setting the record then?
A: No. (laughing) People probably think I did.

Mangino switches quarterbacks whenever he feels the offense needs a "spark." For the first time this season, he was able to find that spark in a redshirt freshman. A 24-yard lateral pass from Charles Gordon to Herford showed that a spread offense could move the ball effectively.
If Herford and Jon Cornish were both in the game at the same time, defenses could no longer cram the line to chase down Cornish because they would have to respect Herford's bootlegging ability.
When asked why Herford didn't stay in the game, Mangino said that those were two plays scripted specifically for Herford to run. After
spending two years practicing with the team, let's hope Herford knows more than just two plays.
Don't switch partners in the middle of the dance: Twice in the second quarter, Kansas faced third down and three yards to go on the Kansas State side of the field. Both times the play call was a pass.
Facing a defense that was guarding exclusively against the run, Jon Cornish still averaged 3.9 yards per rush. So why was he a non-factor on two of the biggest plays of the game?
The offensive line performed admirably against a good Wildcat defense, allowing Cornish to make plays when none existed.
"We take it upon ourselves to do what we need to do," center David Ochoa said.
They did Saturday, but weren't given the chance when it really mattered.
Slow down the huddle: The Jayhawk defense was on the field for 42 minutes of football, while the Wildcat defense only had to play 18. This difference was created with the Wildcats running only 16 more plays than the Jayhawks (68 to 52).
Whichever quarterback starts next week needs to use the clock to his advantage. Slow huddles might be boring to fans, but they mean everything to the 11 defenders desperately trying to catch their breath.
Mangino calls the offensive plays: While at Oklahoma, Mangino presided over one of the best offenses in the country.
The only thing Mangino changed after moving to Kansas was he stopped calling the plays on offense, which Quartaro now handles.
With six games left on the schedule, Mangino needs to take this team over and make it his own. The Jayhawk defense is good enough to keep games within a touchdown, and clever play calling could mean the difference between a win and another busy day for punter Kyle Tucker.
These changes may not be the exact formula, but after Saturday, it's hard to imagine things getting uglier.
coordinator Nick Quartaro still have the ability to bring in players being recruited by better schools.
