Doug Buysse — a professional coaching career

IU South Bend head baseball coach; minor-league coach

Doug Buysse's tie prints with its variance: Indiana University South Bend's athletics biography calls him a "North Liberty native"; an Indiana University news release announcing his hiring calls him a "South Bend native" (conflict C66 — the two institutional tellings stand unmerged; the IUSB bio, his own institution's considered biography, is the stronger carrier for the tie, and the variance is the reason this entry states both). On the field the record is clean: four years of varsity baseball at Purdue (1984–87), drafted by the Oakland Athletics out of Purdue, then a minor-league playing and coaching career — hitting coach of the Madison Hatters in 1994 and named in the Southern Oregon Timberjacks' 1995 staff record — before becoming IU South Bend's head baseball coach, the program's founding coach. A born-or-raised tie to this town at institutional-biography strength, and a professional career documented in the minor-league record: this section's third and last full entry.
