As the longest-tenured active
part-time coach at Wheaton, Bob Roscoe enters his 18th season in
the Lyon softball dugout in 2013.
Roscoe's initial year coaching softball at Wheaton was 1996, but
by then he was midway through a 14-year stint with the women's
volleyball program. He was an assistant volleyball coach from
1989-2001 before serving as a co-head coach in 2002, helping the
Lyons to a 15-16 mark. During Roscoe's tenure with the softball
squad, the Lyons have qualified for seven NCAA Tournaments,
including three trips to the College World Series.
In 2003 and 2004, Roscoe was an assistant women's volleyball coach
at Salve Regina University. He then served on the Bridgewater
State College staff for four years, including being elevated
to head coach in 2008. During Roscoe's tenure, Bridgewater State
qualified for four NCAA Tournaments and won four Massachusetts
State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC) Tournament titles and
at least a share of three regular season crowns.
Roscoe also coached girls' volleyball in the Junior Olympics for
six years and has coached Massachusetts youths with the Brockton
Juniors, the Coastal Volleyball Club and the Bay State Juniors.
