BOCA RATON, Fla. -- Florida Atlantic University baseball head coach John McCormack has named Greg Mamula as assistant coach for the Owls. Mamula's primary focus will be on coaching the FAU hitters.
"We are excited to have Greg and his family join us," McCormack said. "I have known Greg for years now and have always been impressed with him as a person. He has extensive background in coaching, including head coaching experience, which we find very valuable."
"The winning tradition of the baseball program, the reputation of the coaching staff and the opportunity to work for a progressive university have me excited to join FAU as an assistant baseball coach," Mamula said.
As an assistant coach at Cincinnati from 2009-2013, Mamula was tasked with multiple duties, focusing on hitting, defense and base-running, all while assisting with recruiting duties.
Prior to UC, Mamula served as the head coach of the West Chester University of Pennsylvania program, which he guided to a 124-45 record over three seasons, averaging 41 wins a year. His 2009 team finished the season ranked No. 7 in the nation, earning Mamula multiple Coach of the Year awards. His program set school records for wins twice en route to making a regional championship game all three years.
Mamula has also earned coaching experience with the Rome Indians of the New York Collegiate Baseball League, the Sanford Mariners of the New England Collegiate Baseball League and at the University of Delaware.
A four-year starter at St. Bonaventure University, Mamula was named a team captain in his senior year. Mamula was the SBU Student-Athlete of the spring and was a two-time member of the Atlantic 10 All-Academic Team. After college, Mamula played a season with the Rome Indians of the New York Collegiate Baseball League.
Mamula earned his Bachelor of Science degree from St. Bonaventure in 1998 before earning his master's degree from Shippensburg University in 2001.
"I know he will be an asset to our program," McCormack said. "I look forward to working with him"
