Whittemore named Coach of the Year
by Charles Whisnand
Since the Western Nevada College baseball team was the Best in the West, it figured that D.J. Whittemore would be named as the region's Coach of the Year.
After leading the Wildcats to the Western District title and a third place finish in the JUCO World Series, Whittemore, the WNC head coach, was named as the 2009 Diamond Sports Regional Coach of the Year. Whittemore was chosen as the region's coach of the year by the American Baseball Coaches Association and he'll be honored during the association's annual Hall of Fame and Coach of the Year Banquet in January in Dallas.
Whittemore was selected as the Western District's Coach of the Year, which covers the Scenic West Athletic Conference, Arizona schools and schools from Nebraska and Colorado.
