Began at Dayton: January, 1982
Job Responsibilities: Primary athletics communications contact for football and men's basketball. Serves as the chair of the Dayton Athletics Hall of Fame committee.
Past Experience: Publicity Assistant, Cincinnati Reds 1980-81
Education: B.A., University of Dayton '81
Personal: Hauschild lives in Beavercreek with his wife Patty. They met while working in the UD athletic department as students. Both are UD graduates in the class of 1981. They have three children – Kimberly, Rob and Michael. Michael was a standout senior pitcher for Dayton baseball, and a member of UD's 2009 and 2012 Atlantic 10 championship teams. He has pitched in the majors for the Texas Rangers and Toronto Blue Jays.
Other: Although Doug Hauschild was the head coach for fast-pitch softball at the University of Dayton from 1981 to 1983 and still holds the school record for career winning percentage, he has made his mark by recording history instead of making it. He has worked on the CoSIDA Academic All-America Committee since June 1993, but has truly made his mark as a gameday host. Hauschild has served the Media Coordinator for 103 NCAA Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournament games at UD Arena since taking over as SID in 1982. Hauschild was part of a tournament hosting team at Dayton that made NCAA men’s basketball history in March 2001 by hosting 10 postseason games in eight days at UD Arena, a feat never-before done in college basketball. Other venues have hosted NCAA and NIT in the same year, but no venue or school had ever done so simultaneously. UD was host to nine NCAA teams between the Opening, First and Second Rounds as well as games of the National Invitational Tournament. Hauschild was honored at the 2009 CoSIDA Convention by being named that year’s Bob Kenworthy Award winner for his service in the community.
