It’s not about the wins or losses for Monte Lee. It’s not about the money or anything of that nature. No, the reason he continues to coach after all these years is much deeper than that. “When I got into coaching 24 years ago, I made a choice to live a life of servitude,” Lee said. “It’s about serving the players and it’s about serving the coaches that I work with and that I work for. That’s always what I’ve tried to do and what I’m going to continue to try to do here.” In the hours after South Carolina fired Mark Kingston, players and incoming recruits made it clear who they wanted as their n...

For 16 years, Ray Tanner led South Carolina baseball to heights it had never seen before. That included two national titles, six College World Series appearances, three SEC regular season championships, and an SEC Tournament title. Tanner followed in the footsteps of two legendary coaches while proceeding to raise the bar on what the expectations should be for Gamecocks baseball. This past week, South Carolina hired legendary coach Paul Mainieri to take over the the program. At 66 years old, and out of the game since 2021, some in the Gamecock community wonder if the 66-year-old Tanner conside...

A new era in South Carolina baseball has officially begun. On Thursday, Paul Mainieri was introduced as the 31st head coach in program history. He returns to the game as the active winningest head coach in Division I baseball. And for South Carolina, it looks to be a great hire.

The time to win is nowAt this stage of his life, Mainieri doesn’t have many years left to offer to the game. He’ll be 67 years old in August and that has caused some concern amongst the fan base consi...

Outside of the countless wins over his career and trips to Omaha, there’s a definite elephant in the room. South Carolina’s new head baseball coach Paul Mainieri has been out of the game for three years. So it’s easy to ponder about how he will do in his return to baseball, especially with the way the game continues to change. One of the mainstays in baseball over the last few years has been analytics. Teams at all levels are looking more at statistics and different numbers to win games. It’s a different game than what Mainieri was used to during majority of his coaching career. Just like anyt...

Coming out of high school, Cayden Gaskin didn’t have all of the big time D1 offers. The only offers he was getting were coming from the JUCO ranks. Rather than be discouraged by this, he saw it as an opportunity to grow and develop his game. So he took a chance and made way for Northwest Florida State College. “I’m not going to lie, my first year was kind of rough. I struggled a little bit,” Gaskin told GamecockCentral. In his first year, he put up respectable enough numbers, hitting .274 with three homers, 36 RBI and 19 stolen bases in 157 at-bats. But that wasn’t good enough for him. He want...

A coach “winning the press conference.” For years, I always thought that this notion was one of the dumbest things thrown around anytime a new coach was hired. I mean really. How many times have we looked at an introductory press conference and say, “Man, he/she lost that press conference.” If we all had a dollar for anytime this phrase has been said, we could probably fix all the potholes in Columbia and still have extra money to throw a block party on Main Street.

Terry Rooney loved being back in Baton Rouge. Just last summer, he and his family moved back to Louisiana as he was beginning his second stint at LSU. There weren’t many things out there that could tempt him to change the good situation he was in. That is unless his old boss, Paul Mainieri, came calling with an opportunity. A few days after LSU’s season came to an end in regional play, Rooney got a phone call. It was Mainieri. Almost immediately, this wasn’t just the ordinary run of the mill “Hey, how you doing?” type of conversation. South Carolina athletics director Ray Tanner approached Mai...
