Tony Elliott works long hours during the fall and spring, and there are days when he is a little later making it home than your typical 9-to-5 working dad. But even when he isn’t home sometimes, he knows where can find his two sons, Ace and AJ, and that’s working on their baseball swings at the neighborhood tennis court with Clemson baseball assistant coach Bradley LeCroy.
That’s just one of the reasons Elliott isn’t chasing a head coaching job and can wait on the perfect opportunity.
LeCroy and head coach Monte Lee live in Elliott’s neighborhood, but it’s LeCroy who has a close relationship with Elliott, and when his baseball duties allow, he’s got the two families together, working on baseball fundamentals and hitting tennis balls.
