Softball Hires Coot Coach

CLEMSON, S.C. – Clemson Softball Head Coach John Rittman announced the addition of Katie “Crash” Repole to the 2024-25 staff. Repole joins the staff as an assistant coach and will serve as the recruiting coordinator, work with the team defense and outfielders.

“We are excited to welcome Katie to the Clemson family,” said Coach Rittman. “She is exactly what we needed with this hire. She brings an incredible resume and extensive experience in the recruiting space after working with many great coaches and players over her career. Her excitement around finding the next generation of Clemson softball players along with her ability to develop and coach defense will help our program to continue to grow for years to come. I have no doubt she will be a great addition to our staff.”

Repole joins the staff after previously serving as an assistant coach at South Carolina where she was the recruiting coordinator, a defensive coordinator and camp director. With the Gamecocks, she secured back-to-back nationally ranked recruiting classes, specifically the 11th ranked incoming freshman class in 2024 and the No. 2 ranked transfer portal class. Under her guidance, South Carolina made two-consecutive NCAA Regional finals, as well as finished in the top 10 defensively in fielding percentage (2023) and doubles plays (2024). Last season, Repole helped develop one All-American, one All-Region, one All-SEC and two SEC Player of the Weeks while helping South Carolina to a Top 25 RPI finish.

I hope she is a defensive guru. Our infield had some issues this year as we all saw. Sounds like Repole can recruit as well.

She's pretty good if she's left alone and given the opportunity to coach and recruit. We could use another one and just let Rittman chill.

We definitely need some defense on the infield.

She may be what our softball needs to help push our program to the next level, But I have always had questions about hiring coot used coaches after they have been kicked to the curb by a bunch of hoodlums that have been with them long enough to care nothing about the rules!!!

I'd rather say we hired her a former Texas A&M assistant rather than a former coot coach.

Just make sure she goes through the full de-cootment process so as to rid her of the chicken curse.

I hope she helps out with recruiting, transfers and the D improves but I take little stock in the recruiting and transfer rankings since tge SEC gets special considerations.
