From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

William J. "Billy" Disch was the baseball coach for the University of Texas Longhorns from 1911 to 1939, and served as an advisory coach for 12 seasons afterwards.

Often called the Connie Mack of college baseball,[1] Disch earned a 513-180-12 record at Texas and garnered 20 Southwest Conference titles. At the time he coached, there were no NCAA postseason playoffs for national honors.

Along with Bibb Falk, Disch is one of the two namesakes of UFCU Disch-Falk Field.
