Norm DeBriyn (born November 1, 1942) is an American former baseball coach at the University of Arkansas. He led the Arkansas Razorbacks baseball team for 33 years, beginning in 1970. During his tenure, which ended after the 2002 season, DeBriyn's teams achieved three conference championships, 15 NCAA tournament appearances, and four College World Series.[1] His Razorbacks fell two runs short of winning the 1979 College World Series.[2]
When DeBriyn retired, his record (1161-650-6) was the fourteenth-best all-time in college baseball.[2]
