UAB Green and Told

On episode 21 of UAB Green and Told, we are joined by Coach Brian Shoop. He spent nearly a decade and a half in the dugout for UAB's baseball team. Recently, he retired and stepped away from the sport after a tremendous 40-year coaching career. But before UAB there were three stops, and he'll share that his path to UAB's campus wasn't traditional. He will also explain how close his teams were to taking the program to the next level as well as his relationship with perhaps the greatest volunteer coach of all time, the legendary Ron Polk.
