Lindsay Meggs

Following Washington's runner-up finish in the conference in 2014, Meggs was named Pac-12 coach of the year. Picked in the preseason to finish low in the standings, the Huskies posted a 21-9 record in conference and made their first post-season appearance in a decade. Although ranked in the national top ten for much of the season, Washington was overlooked as a regional host. In the NCAA regional at the University of Mississippi in Oxford, Washington was the runner-up, losing two close games to the host Rebels. Both games with Ole Miss were decided by one run and both had over 9,300 in attendance at Swayze Field. (The Rebels won their Super Regional on the road and advanced to semifinals of the College World Series). That summer, Meggs was granted a six-year contract extension at Washington, worth $2.2 million.

Meggs' success at Chico State landed him a Division I job at Indiana State in Terre Haute, where he worked for three years. The Sycamores were 33–21 (.625) overall and finished second in the Missouri Valley Conference after being picked to finish sixth in the preseason. Four players were named first team All-Conference that season, with five others earning other conference awards. Meggs was named MVC Coach of the Year for his efforts.

In 2009, Meggs was introduced as the new head coach at Washington on July 27. In his first season in 2010, the Huskies were 28–28, an improvement of five wins over the previous season. Among his efforts at Washington has been seeking additional personal general enhancements, particularly to Husky Ballpark and the Huskies' indoor facilities. After the 2012 season, three additional years were added to his contract, through 2018.

Meggs moved north to Cal State Chico in 1994, where he was head coach for 13 years. The Wildcats were a Division II national power under him, winning two national championships, appearing seven times in the Division II College World Series, and claiming eight conference titles. Meggs was Division II National Coach of the Year twice, and regional and conference coach of the year seven times each. The Wildcats' home venue, Ray Bohler Field, was renovated in 1997 and became the 4,200-seat Nettleton Stadium.

After his playing career ended, Meggs began coaching at De Anza College in Cupertino, serving as an assistant for a season in 1988 before moving south to California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks for another season. Meggs earned his first head coaching opportunity at Oxnard College where he worked for one year in 1990, then moved to Long Beach City College for three seasons. At LBCC, his teams went 75–51–1 (.594) and made the playoffs each year.

Born in San Jose, California, Meggs graduated from Saratoga High School in Saratoga and played college baseball at UCLA, starting at third base all four years. He was honorable mention All-Conference in 1983, and drafted after both his junior and senior years. Selected in the 15th round of the 1984 MLB Draft, Meggs signed with the Kansas City Royals and enjoyed a brief professional career before returning to UCLA to complete his degree.
