David Tollett (born March 30, 1966) is an American college baseball coach who has been the head coach of Florida Gulf Coast since 2002, the program's first season. Under Tollett, the Eagles have appeared in two NCAA Division I Tournaments and won Atlantic Sun Conference (A-Sun) championships in 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2014. Tollett was named the A-Sun Coach of the Year in each of those four seasons. Worst loss of career came during the 2013 season when Tollett and the Eagles lost to an NAIA school, Ave Maria. Two of Tollett's players at FGCU, Chris Sale and Casey Coleman, have gone on to play in Major League Baseball.[1][2][3]
