Coach Hibbs is an experienced, accomplished head coach who has earned Coach of the Year honors in four major conferences (the Metro, Conference USA, Atlantic 10 and the American). He was head baseball coach at UNC Charlotte and, most recently, Wichita State. In addition, Hibbs has experience as a pitching performance consultant, assistant athletic director, on-air broadcaster and analyst for Charlotte’s AAA ball club, and a college baseball recruiter.
Hibbs also brings deep, long-standing relationships with college coaches, professional baseball scouts and agents. He has extensive experience with issues that challenge all summer collegiate baseball leagues (especially leagues like the CCBL with premier players), including: roster management, NCAA summer baseball rules and guidelines, the transfer portal and the NCAA’s NIL (name, image and likeness) policy. Finally, his experience building coaching and management infrastructures to support premier collegiate athletes will help the CAA create a baseball organization built to thrive in the future. These critical, relevant experiences will serve both the Kettleers and the CCBL well.
