Patrick Murphy (softball Coach)
Patrick Murphy (born November 28, 1967, in Waterloo, Iowa) is an American softball coach and the current head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide Softball team. Murphy built one of the most successful college softball programs east of the Mississippi River, taking Alabama to eight Women's College World Series appearances (2000, '03, '05, '06, '08, '09,'11 & '12) since 2000, which ranks second in the NCAA along with UCLA with only Arizona having made more appearances (10) in that span. Less than a year after Murphy left Alabama for the span of a weekend for rival LSU, he led the Crimson Tide to its first national championship. Murphy has also served as the hitting coach for the Canadian National Team in the 2004 Olympics and as an assistant coach for the United States national softball team in the summer of 2009.

Famous quotes containing the words patrick and/or murphy:
“If twins are believed to be less intelligent as a class than single-born children, it is not surprising that many times they are also seen as ripe for social and academic problems in school. No one knows the extent to which these kind of attitudes affect the behavior of multiples in school, and virtually nothing is known from a research point of view about social behavior of twins over the age of six or seven, because this hasn’t been studied either.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
“Narcotics have been systematically scapegoated and demonized. The idea that anyone can use drugs and escape a horrible fate is an anathema to these idiots. I predict that in the near future, right wingers will use drug hysteria as a pretext to set up an international police apparatus.”
—Gus Van Sant, U.S. screenwriter and director, and Dan Yost. Father Tom Murphy (William S. Burroughs)
