Phoenix College Women's Softball

Mueller enters his 26th season at the Bears Softball program as one of only three NJCAA Softball coaches ever to record 1100 career wins (and will likely celebrate his 1200th sometime in March or April this season).  Muellers teams are mainstays at or near the top of the NJCAA Division II Poll, as evidenced by the fact that they were never lower than 6th in the poll in 2015 (finishing 4th), were ranked 1st in all but two weeks of NJCAA Polls from 2004 through 2008; and have been ranked outside of the NJCAA Top 10 just once in the past Last May, Mueller led the Bears to their 13th Region I Division II title (in the last 16 years), and their 13th trip to the NJCAA DII Tournament in this millennium.  Once the Bears make it to nationals, Mueller makes sure that they are in line to win it all, since theyve finished fourth or higher every time, have hoisted 8th national championships since 2000, and came within one win of winning their 9th title two years ago.   That success isnt just limited to team accomplishments, since Mueller has now coached over 100 NJCAA/NFCA All-Americans during his tenure; 170 of his student-athletes have excelled enough to earn scholarships to four-year schools; and one of his student-athletes, Rebecca Wyatt, became the first Bear ever to earn the prestigious National Fastpitch Softball Coaches Association Golden Shoe Award-and won it twice!  But while Mueller is incredibly proud of the accomplishments above, he beams with pride even more for the academic accomplishments of his teams over the years.  60 of his student-athletes have earned NJCAA/NFCA Academic All-American status for achieving a cumulative grade point average of 3.6 or higher, every one of Muellers teams in Y2K have been named an NJCAA/NFCA Academic All-American Team for achieving a team cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher; and nearly 200 of his student-athletes have been able to move their tassel over while earning their degree at PC.  Not surprisingly, Mueller and his coaching staffs have earned accolades as well, since Mueller is now an eight-time NJCAA National Championship Coach of the Year, and his staff has been the NFCA Speedline Coaching Staff of the Year four times.  Mueller has received two of the top honors anyone in his profession can earn over the span of just four months in 2013, since he was inducted into the Arizona Softball Hall of Fame that August, and was just named as an NJCAA Hall of Fame Inductee in December of that year.  Hes already a member of the Phoenix College and PC Athletics Halls of Fame. Mueller celebrates his seven-year anniversary to his wife, Janet, this year.  They have one daughter, Tina; and two stepsons, Jason and Ben.  Mueller also dotes on his seven grandchildren.
