Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 199: malformed pattern (missing ']'). Bill Kinneberg is an American college baseball coach, currently serving as head coach of the Utah Utes baseball team. He is in his second stint with the Utes, having most recently assumed the role prior to the 2005 season. Kinneberg was also head coach of the Utes for the 1996 season.[1]

Playing career

Kinneberg was a pitcher for the Arizona Wildcats, owning a 7–4 record with 7 saves over two seasons. He appeared in the 1979 College World Series with the Wildcats.[1]

Coaching career

After ending his playing career, Kinneberg was hired as an assistant at UTEP. He served in that role for four seasons before assuming the head coaching role for the 1985 season. In what was to be the last season of baseball at UTEP, Kinneberg led the Miners to a program record 33 wins.[2] After the end of UTEP's program, he moved to Wyoming, setting a program record for wins in Laramie in 1990 with a 37–18 record. Kinneberg earned Western Athletic Conference Coach of the Year honors for the 1990 season, and coached 16 All-Conference players at Wyoming. Ironically, the Cowboys program was shut down in 1996, just four years after Kinneberg's departure for Arizona State.[3] Kinneberg spent two seasons with the Sun Devils, helping to guide them to consecutive College World Series appearances.[1]

Kinneberg spent one season as a pitching coach in the Chicago White Sox system, before returning to college head coaching at Utah for the 1996 season. He led the Utes to a 30–22 season and a third place finish in the WAC. He then accepted an associate head coaching position at Arizona, helping the Wildcats to an Regional appearance during his five years in Tucson.[1]

Utah again offered him their head coaching position 2005. During his second stint with the Utes, Kinneberg led the team to their first-ever MWC title and first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1960, coached three high level Major League Baseball Draft picks, including Utah's first-ever first round pick (C. J. Cron), and now leads the Utes in their rugged new home in the Pac-12 Conference.[1][4]

Kinneberg also has coached USA Baseball's National Team (collegiate), beginning as a pitching coach in 1999, and as head coach in 2007 and 2010.[1][5]
