After Oglethrope Coach Popp was offered a position at Reinhardt as head Baseball coach and assistant athletic director. Shortly after he became head athletic director when the previous athletic director left. Coach Popp talked to us about some of the things he has done while he has been at Reinhardt. He told us that just recently he was in charge of moving our school into a different athletic conference for all sports teams here at Reinhardt. He also spoke to us about when he first came to Reinhardt. He was in charge of forming the Men's Baseball Program and Women's Softball Program. He has recently formed two new athletic teams at Reinhardt; they are Men's/ Women's Lacrosse. I found Coach Popp to be very knowledgeable about the athletic programs here at Reinhardt.
