Bingham successor to Pattin Emporia State coach plans to win with recuiting, discipline By JOHN MONTGOMERY Staff writer Winning is most important to Dave Bingham, and winning is something the University of Kansas baseball team hasn't seen much of in recent years. "I think the biggest challenge is to develop an atmosphere of winning. There wasn't a commitment before," said Bingham, KU's new baseball coach who guided Emporia State University to five NAIA World Series appearances in his 14 years as coach. "Once you have the atmosphere, people will feel it is a privilege to play baseball for the University of Kansas," he said. Bingham, 38, who was named to the position last month, succeeds Marty Pattin, whose contract was not renewed. Bingham compiled a 555-271 record at Emporia. This year, he played in seven games for Lewis Clark State in the NAIA finals. Bingham hopes to bring his winning ways to Kansas, a team with a 15-39-1 record last season. "I am so optimistic," Bingham said. "I believe so much in the University and the program." Bingham said he would be able to recruit the best players, especially those here in Kansas, once he establishes a winning program. "If we can get a program that's respectable, we will win recruiting-wise," he said. Bingham, a native of Tucson, Ariz., did a great deal of recruiting for Emporia from high schools and junior colleges in Arizona. Kansas players to play here. He said Arizona would still be a source, but ultimately he hoped to get Next season 17 players will return to Bingham and Bingham said he had capidipd. Floyd Temple, baseball coach for 28 years before assuming his present job as assistant athletic director, was optimistic about the team's future under Bingham. "I always felt when we played Emporia State that we were playing a well-coached team," Temple said. "We came to do challenges to do and hopes to do is excellent." "He certainly has the support of the University and the whole athletic family." Temple also said Bingham was a strict disciplinarian, which was similar to his own. Discipline is necessary in a winning program, Bingham said, and he was hopeful the players could develop it themselves. "He'll be there everyday to run the show," Roell said. "The change will be drastic. He's a winner. He will turn it around, no doubt in my mind." Randy Rozell, Overland Park junior, played for Bingham before transferring to KU after his freshman year. Rozell said that physical conditioning was an important part of Bingham's coaching and that Bingham would push his players to succeed. Bingham has already gone to work in rebuilding the program. He is in the process of hiring two assistant coaches and is trying to schedule challenging teams, including more Division I teams. "Yes, we're short in the budget." Bingham said. "They will listen more when we show we can win. The responsibility is on everyone, players and coaches. I'm accepting the challenge." Bingham doesn't foresee a low budget as being any obstacle. Bingham said he hoped to have the program where he wanted it within a few months. If Bingham's list of accomplishments are any indication, his coaching philosophy seems to have worked He was the NAIA Coach of the Year in 1976, 1984 and 1986. He has been NAIA District 10 Coach of the Year 11 times and Area III Coach of the Year five times. In addition to five NAIA World Series appearances and a national championship in 1978, he has coached Emporia State to 11 district titles, eight conference titles and five regional crowns. In addition to coaching at Emporia State, he also played there while in college. He left Arizona to go to college in Emporia and had been there almost ever since. Fifteen of Bingham's players have signed contracts with professional baseball teams. He graduated in 1972 and tried one year of minor league baseball with the Washington Senators before returning to Emporia State as a graduate assistant. He became head coach soon after, when the position became available. Bingham and his wife, Janet, have two children, Brianna, and Bran- Bingham said he had enjoyed his lengthy stay at Emporia, but he Dave Bingham wasn't looking back. "Emperor State provided me a lot of opportunities," he said. "It is with mixed emotions that I leave. But I am proud to be a leader to Kansas is a great opportunity." Bingham was one of the applicants when the coaching job became available in 1981 after Temple's retirement, but Pattin, a former major league pitcher, was hired. Besides his success at Emporia State, Bingham has other coaching experience. He was an assistant coach for the 1984 U.S. Olympic team, which won a silver medal in Los Angeles. The same year, he was the head coach for the national team that won a bronze medal at the World Baseball Championships in Havana, Cuba. Bingham was an assistant coach on the U.S. national teams in the 1979 and 1983 Friendship Series. He was also an assistant in 1981 for the national teams that won gold medals at the World Games in San Jose, Calif., and the International Cup in Canada.

However, Lee said he didn't know if Pellock was enrolled in summer school at the present time.

The group solicited sponsors who pledged a donation for every hole the group could play. Those participating from both Alvamar courses were Brad Demo, Josh Meredith, Mike Osborn and Paul Vobach. At 5:20 a.m. on Monday, the group was on the first tree at Alvamar. When the foursome finally put down their clubs at 5 p.m., they had played 150 holes and raised over $2,500 for the charity that helps fight birth defects. They lasted more than twelve hours on a day where the mercury soared to 96 degrees with 50 percent humidity. It wasn't easy. "It was pretty hot and humid, but we were riding golf carts," said Vobach, assistant golf pro on Alvamar's private course. "We always had a wind in our face because of the carts. And we were prepared with ice water and gatorade. "It was a mental strain like doing anything else for 12 hours." Osborne, assistant golf pro on Alvamar's public course, said he was very tired and sore. 1 "started cramping on the last holes. He will glad it'll be a week before he'll be on one." The group maintained a steady pace and averaged 18 holes in one hour and ten minutes. Vobach said the group was concerned more with speed than accrual. "It was kind of like perpetual motion," he said. "We'd just drive up and hit it." "Our longest break was probably 15 minutes," said Demo, assistant on Alvamar's private course. "We had a lot of people coming out to support us." Randy Hunt, head golf pro at Alvamar, said the event was a fundraiser sponsored by the Kansas City chapter of the March of Dimes and the Midwest Region of the Professional Golf Association. "It was a year ago that the KC chapter and the Midwest Chapter of the PGA started this marathoning," said Hunt, who is chairman of the fund-raising marathons in the Midwest region.
