Gillispie played college baseball at Northwest Missouri State and Fort Hays State, and began his coaching career at Fort Hays State. His early coaching stops included assisting for two seasons each at Nebraska (where he recruited current head coach and former major leaguer Darin Erstad) and Mendocino College followed by one season each at Lassen College and Utah before two seasons at UAB. He then scouted for the Philadelphia Phillies from 1997 through 2001 before returning to coaching as an assistant at Jacksonville State. While with the Gamecocks, helped lead a turnaround that resulted in nine 30 win seasons in Gillispie's 11 years. Gillispie was hired to his first head coaching job at Youngstown State in July 2012.[1][2][3] In 2014, despite finishing the regular season in last place, Gillispie led Youngstown State to the Horizon League Conference Tournament championship, advancing to the NCAA Regionals for the first time since 2004.
