Rob Stack, Head Softball Coach

2011 - After coaching baseball for 15 years, Rob Stack is certainly no stranger to the game of softball.

Stack brings a wealth of knowledge to the position. He served as the Chadron Senior Legion baseball coach for seven years, leading the Post 12 seniors to a third place finish at the 2007 Class B state tournament and a 44-12 record. Stack was also the Head Coach at the University of South Dakota from 1994-1998 before coming to Chadron State.

In three seasons, Stack has guided the Eagles to a 65-83-1 record and in the spring of 2010, CSC qualified for the RMAC postseason tournament, winning one game. It was the first time in school history the Eagles played in the conference championship tournament.

Stack has been a consistent force in helping CSC make the leap to Division II. In fact, Chadron State is the only RMAC school to improve its win total each season in the last four years.

Stack's players excel in the classroom. Following the 2010 season, the team GPA was 3.4 and Casey Williams and Cassie Humphrey have been the RMAC All-Academic Players of the Year in 2009 and 2010.

Williams, under Stack's guidance, also became the first CSC pitcher to be named the RMAC Pitcher of the Year.

Before coming to CSC in 1998, Stack taught in the math department at the University of South Dakota in Vermillion for four years. He earned all three of his degrees from USD – a doctorate in 1998, a master’s degree in 1991 and a bachelor’s degree in 1990.

Stack, a native of Tabor, S.D., and his wife, Jill, have six children. They are Kiya, 18, Riley, 17, Caston, 14, Jayden, 12, Brooklyn, 10, and Kennady, 8.
