Musgraves enters his eleventh season as the head coach of the LSUS Pilots baseball and holds an overall 398-223 (.640) record.

After ten years at the helm of the Pilots, Coach Musgraves has created a winning tradition that continues to shine on the newly renovated Pilot Field.  Musgraves, the 2005 Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Coach of the Year, and his Pilots are returning for the 2009 season after claiming back-to-back-to-back Gulf Coast Athletic Conference tournament championships in '06, '07, and '08. Musgraves has led the Pilots to eight straight season with 30 or more wins and five of the last six years has won 40 or more games per season.

Musgraves has helped the Pilots grab a piece of GCAC hardware in each of the past four seasons, as the 2005 Pilots won the regular season GCAC title outright.

In 2003, Musgraves was named the NAIA Regional Coach of the Year after winning the Region XIII Championship and eventually leading his team to their first-ever NAIA College World Series appearance.

LSUS set a school-record 52 wins in 2003 and finished in 3rd place at the 2003 NAIA College World Series.

In 2008, Musgraves led his squad to a 47-16 record, which is the highest single-season winning percentage in school history.

The Pilots have averaged 39.5 wins per season under Musgraves and placed several players on the NAIA All-American teams. Numeras players have also been named to their All-Conference Teams over the last nine seasons.

Musgraves served as LSUS’s Interim Athletic Director in 2002 between the retirement of Larry Rambin and the present A.D. Doug Robinson. During that time he was instrumental in working with LSUS Chancellor Vincent Marsala and the Athletic Council to expand the athletic department, which added Men’s and Women’s Basketball in 2003 and Women’s Soccer in 2004.

Prior to coaching at LSUS, Coach Musgraves served as assistant baseball coach at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, Louisiana. While at Nicholls he oversaw practices, served as the NSU Camp Director, maintained the field, and helped recruit the team that made it to the 1998 NCAA Division I Regional Tournament. Players under Musgraves’ tutelage included Maleke Fowler, the 1996 NCAA leader in stolen bases and Brett Lockwood, who broke Todd Walker’s State of Louisiana hitting-streak record.

Musgraves also served as an assistant coach at Pima Community College in Tucson, Arizona from 1993-1995 where he worked with infielders and hitters, including the nation’s leading hitter, Erubiel Durazo, now a first-baseman for the Oakland A’s.

In 1993 he was an assistant coach at Flowing Wells High School in Tucson, Arizona, which played for the Arizona State Championship, and was an assistant coach at Salpointe Catholic High School in Tucson, which was ranked 9th nationally by USA TODAY.

Musgraves also experienced success as a head coach in the Montana State American Legion where he coached the Fort Macleod Royals to the 1993 & 1994 Pacific Northwest Regional Championships. His teams also won the 1994 Montana State Championship, collecting a record of 207-98, and propelling Musgraves to the 1994 Montana Coach of the Year award.

In his only year in the Saskatchewan Major Baseball League (summer collegiate league) he led the Oyen Pronghorns to their first ever Championship with a 32-7 record.

Musgraves received his B.A. from Westmont College (1988) and his M.A. from the University of Arizona (1994).

Rocke and his wife Mitzi have been married for ten years and are the proud parents of Libbi Montana (2003) and Eli Christian (2005).
