Dibbern spent 2013-15 as head track & field and cross country head coach at Texas A&M-Commerce and took the program to new heights. The men's program became the first program in Lone Star Conference history to win the indoor and outdoor conference title in the same season while the women scored the most points at a conference meet. The programs combined to earn 30 All-American honors in the two-year span. He was selected as the LSC Men's Coach of the Year, the U.S. Track & Field Cross Country Coaches Association's South Central Regional Men's Coach of the Year and the Texas Track & Field Coaches Association Collegiate Coach of the Year. Dibbern established himself as one of the top track and field coaches in the country at Angelo State. He was a two-time National Assistant Coach of the Year, he has coached a US Olympic Trial qualifier, 8 USATF national championship competitors, a pair of NCAA Division II National Athletes of the Year (including a national record holder), three individual national champions and over 40 All-Americans.

Dibbern served as the primary coach for the Rams and Rambelles long jumpers, triple jumpers and high jumpers, and also coaches the javelin throwers, short sprinters, short hurdlers, sprint relay teams and multi-event athletes. He was named the 2011 NCAA D-II Men's Regional Assistant Coach of the Year after winning the Women's National Assistant Coach of the Year honors in 2009 and 2010. In 2010, Dibbern played a pivotal role in the Rambelles winning the NCAA D-II Outdoor National Championship, the first in school history. In addition to his regional honors, he was named National Assistant Coach of the Year, and later was named head coach of the ASU cross country team. Before arriving at Angelo State, Dibbern spent one season as the assistant men's and women's track coach at Oklahoma Baptist University, where he coached the multi-event and field event athletes. He helped lead the men's and women's squads to third-place finishes at the NAIA Indoor National Championships, and the women's team to a fifth-place effort at the NAIA outdoor national meet. Under his guidance, four OBU athletes garnered All-America honors, including one NAIA national runner-up, 15 qualified for NAIA national meets, and five new school records were set. Prior to his time at OBU, Dibbern spent two seasons as a graduate assistant coach at Hastings (Neb.) College, working with the multi-event athletes, jumpers and javelin throwers. At Hastings, he coached three NAIA national champions, three national runners-up and 13 All-Americans. He also helped HC qualify more than 25 athletes to NAIA national meets and set four new school records.

James Reid

Assistant Coach

Reid had been serving as interim director of athletics since May 2015. Reid has led the men's and women's track and field/cross country programs since 1999 and he served as assistant athletic director from 2007 to 2015. A national champion coach and national coach of the year, Reid was at the helm of the Angelo State mens and womens track and field programs since 1999. His ASU tenure, however, began long before that. While Reid oversees the entire ASU track and field program, he works specifically with throwers, pole vaulters, hurdlers, sprinters, 4×400 relay teams and multi-event athletes. Reid has coached his ASU teams to numerous top performances in Lone Star Conference competition. Since Reid took over the program, both the Rams and Rambelles have finished in the top three at every LSC Championship. That includes guiding the Rams to their first title since 1992 and eight LSC titles for the Rambelles, including six-straight from 200914. In 2004, Reid led the Belles to their first-ever LSC title, snapping the NCAA-record streak of 19 consecutive titles for rival Abilene Christian. It was under Reids guidance that the Rambelles in 2010 notched the greatest ASU track and field achievement to date, the NCAA Division II Outdoor National Championship. That included two individual and a relay national championships; 12 individual All-America performances; and two All-America relay teams. Aisha Adams was named the NCAA D-II National Female Field Athlete of the Year. That same year, the Rams finished in the top 10 at the national meet for the 26th time overall and fifth time under Reid. Overall, they garnered four individual All-America certificates and posted two All-America relay performances. With Reid leading the way, ASU posted another first in 2011 when Andria Nussey won the womens first indoor national title in the 800-meters at the NCAA D-II Womens Indoor National Championships. With Reid at the helm, ASU has had 11 individual national champions, including Curry Dawson (three time), Adree Lakey (three- time), Will Littleton (two-time), Lee McCown, Adams(two-time), LaTasha Mosley, Amber Miller, LaTisha Burns, Nussey,Celethia Byrd,  and Kearah Danville (two-time). Reid has also tutored numerous other NCAA D-II All-Americans, including nine pole vaulters. Other Rams All-Americans include Nathan Gibson, Darrin Session and Noah Dean. Other Rambelles All-Americans include Chrystal Ruiz , Kathy Crowe, Alissa Miller and several others in various relays. He also coached Amanda Welch to the first-ever womens pole vault competition at the NCAA D-II national meet in 1999. Other national honors for athletes Reid has coached at ASU include numerous competitors at the U.S. National Track and Field Championships. Ruiz competed for the Mexican national team at the 2011 Pan Am Games. Amy Bippert-Bohensky and Dawson were inducted into the NCAA D-II Track and Field Hall of Fame. While guiding his charges to athletic glory, Reid has also received numerous personal accolades. He was twice named NCAA D-II National Womens Track and Field Coach of the Year; NCAA D-II South Central Region Womens Track and Field Coach of the Year in 2004 and 200910; lsc Mens Track and Field Coach of the Year in 2001; and LSC Womens Track and Field Coach of the Year in 200305 and 200714. Despite coming from an impressive track family, Reid did not start out to become a track coach or even a track athlete. He began his tenure at Angelo State in 1986 as a member of the Rams football team, but his career was cut short by an illness in his freshman season. Noble invited him to help with the track team and he has been on the track ever since. A native of Sweeny, Reids father, Doug, was the head track coach at Sweeny High School, where he led the Bulldogs to a state championship in 1992 and runner-up finishes in 1993 and 2001, before retiring from coaching. Reids older brother, Will, has seen his share of success in track and cross country as well winning a state championship in cross country in 2013 at Harper, and multiple top three state team finishes in track and cross country while at Water Valley High School. Reid received his undergraduate degree from asu in 1991 and his masters degree in education in 1993. In addition to his duties as head track and field coach, he is ASU's associate athletic director. He and his wife, Nina, have three children, Jacob, Kyla and J.D.
