  • "Shooter," St. Paul Pioneer Press, Aug. 23, 2007. Sports columnist Charley ("Shooter") Walters writes, "A perpetual rumor in college softball circles is that University of St. Thomas coach John Tschida is headed to the Gophers. It isn't true; Tschida says he isn't going anywhere. But if he wanted a new challenge, it's a good bet Tschida could just about have his choice of jobs. Tschida, 39, is the John Gagliardi of Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference softball. He has coached St. Mary's in Winona to a national softball title and twice done the same with St. Thomas. His 13-year career won-lost coaching record is 491-87, and in the MIAC, it's 270-23. This week, Tschida was asked if he would be interested in coaching the Chinese team in next year's Olympics in Beijing. The offer was lucrative, and if Tschida were interested, the deal could have paid considerably more, excluding bonuses, than his salary at St. Thomas. He said no thanks. 'I'm not a money person,' he said. Then he laughed. 'But for a million dollars, I probably would have,' he said. Besides, Tschida has never been to China. Nor Australia. But immediately after finishing the call from China, the phone rang again. It was a call from an Australian official wanting him to help conduct international softball clinics in Sydney. Because it's for only a week, he said yes. He leaves Monday. In January, Tschida will conduct clinics in Italy. Last year, he was offered a job coaching the Canadian softball team for the Olympics in Beijing. He said no thanks. 'China would have been a neat experience, and if all I was worried about was moving on from St. Thomas, I would have taken it,' Tschida said. 'But I want to coach at St. Thomas.'" https://www.twincities.com//ci_6693529
