FAMU softball coach Veronica Wiggins has been appointed to the NCAA softball rules committee. She will begin service in September of this year and serve a four year term.Wiggins is no stranger to accolades. She is fastly approaching 600 career wins as the Lady Rattlers’ head coach. With nine MEAC titles and seven NCAA tournament appearances, Wiggins has seen many changes come and go, including the transition from slow pitch to fast pitch.
Wiggins has served on the NCAA tournament selection committee for the past four years (2008-2011),
The opportunity to be a part of the NCAA’s governance is an honor not taken lightly. “This will give me more insight into the sport and the rules and regulations that govern it. It’s exciting to be a part of the body that examines the current rules and makes recommendations for changes to those rules as they may benefit the future of our sport,” she said.
“Give me a young woman who has goals, who wants something out of life, and I can teach her the game,” Wiggins said. Her dedication to academics has contributed to her longevity. She says she gets even more joy when her young ladies mature and graduate as she does when they excel on the field.
