Daniel Shipley arrived in Monroe as an assistant softball coach before the beginning of the 2024 season.
Shipley spent the last five seasons at Butler as an assistant coach on the Bulldogs' softball staff. In 2023, Butler qualified for its third consecutive BIG EAST Tournament. The team's 12 conference victories were the second most in BIG EAST competition since the Bulldogs joined the league in 2014. The 2023 team finished the season on several of Butler's all-time Top-10 lists, including walks (first with 165), home runs (third with 38), RBI (sixth with 182), runs (ninth with 197) and hits (ninth with 360). Four players were named all-conference and one earned all-region honors.
In 2022, Shipley helped lead Butler to an overall record of 31-17 which included a school-record 16 wins in BIG EAST play, good for second place in the final regular-season standings and the No. 2 seed in the conference tournament. Three players were selected all-conference while one was named all-region.
Shipley was named a student assistant coach in the fall of 2020. Prior to that, he served on the Bulldogs coaching staff as a student manager during the 2019 and 2020 seasons.
A native of Houston, Texas, Shipley graduated from Butler in May 2022, with both a bachelor's and a master's degree in accounting.
