PITTSBURGH, Pa. – September 17, 2020 – The Chatham University community is saddened by the news of the unexpected passing of former Baseball Coach Timothy Banner.
 
Coach Banner was able to bring together the school's first-ever baseball team in 2015 after his hiring in 2014. Under Coach Banner's reign, the Chatham baseball program recorded their first-ever conference win on April 28^th, 2018 against Westminster and first program win on March 8^th, 2017 against Valley Forge. Coach Banner was also responsible for the development of two all-conference athletes, Paul Nussbaum and Caleb Lehman. In his three years at Chatham, Banner compiled a 20-61 overall record and a 5-37 conference record.
 
Coach Banner laid the groundwork for the Chatham Baseball program in the school's first year as a coeducational institution. His work and dedication to the University, athletic department, and the advancement of the baseball program has left a lasting legacy, allowing for future baseball student-athletes to have the best possible experiences.
 
Our deepest sorrows and sincerest condolences go out to Coach Banner's family, friends, and loved ones. Coach Banner was an exemplary coach, mentor, and colleague to countless people. He will be greatly missed by his players, fellow staff members, and the Chatham community alike.
