MOBILE, Ala. – South Alabama baseball volunteer assistant coach Alan Luckie announced his retirement after 16 years with the program on Tuesday. Former graduate assistant Corley Reynolds will now take over the volunteer assistant role on the Jaguar coaching staff.
Luckie joined the program in 2007 and helped the Jaguars capture four Sun Belt Conference regular-season championships, two SBC tournament titles and make four NCAA Regional appearances. One Jaguar infielder, Zach Grichor, won the 2010 ABCA/Rawlings Gold Glove as a second baseman and center fielder Cole Billingsley won consecutive Gold Gloves in 2015-16.
"I was older when I first started with Coach (Steve) Kittrell at South Alabama, older than most coaches are when they start their collegiate coaching career," Luckie said.
