The Coach: Bob Livingstone is in his 13th season as the head men's golf coach at Long Beach State. Livingstone was named the 2006 Big West Tri-Coach of the Year.
Livingstone On Barona Cup: "This has obviously been a tough and disappointing semester as all the new guys have been trying to adapt to college golf. And quite frankly, the seniors have had some poorly timed bad rounds. We tried some different things in practicing and preparing for this event. Hopefully that will pay off and we can finish on a positive note as we go into the winter break."
