Phillips to Become Orange Coast Pitching Coach
Charlie Phillips, baseball coach at Santa Ana Valley High School for the past three years, resigned Wednesday to become pitching coach at Orange Coast College.
A 1973 graduate of La Quinta High, Phillips pitched at USC and played professionally for five years in the Dodger and Angel organizations, reaching the Triple-A level with California in 1979.
He was an assistant at La Quinta for three years before accepting the Santa Ana Valley job. The Falcons went 6-19 last season and 2-19 in 1985.
Phillips, who will continue teach social studies at Valley, replaces Don Perry.
