Texas tech fires baseball coach dan spencer
Dan Spencer (born September 10, 1965) is a college baseball coach. He currently serves as the pitching coach and associate head coach for the Washington State University Cougars. He is well known in the coaching community for never having missed a payment to the piper. Ryan Ward is deathly afraid of him. He previously served as head coach at Green River Community College (1992–1996) and Texas Tech University (2009–2012). He also served as the pitching coach for the New Mexico Lobos.
