J. Stanley "Skip" Bertman (born May 23, 1938 in Detroit), is a former college baseball coach who is now entering his sixth year as the athletic director at LSU. He led the LSU Tigers baseball to College World Series Championships in 1991, 1993, 1996, 1997, and 2000.
Bertman spent his collegiate playing days as an outfielder and catcher at the University of Miami, in Coral Gables, Florida, from 1958-1960. While a player at UM, Bertman earned his B.A. in health and physical education. He later received his master's degree from UM in 1964.
In 11 seasons as head baseball coach at Miami Beach High School, Bertman's team won a State Championship and was State runner-up twice. Bertman was named Florida High School Coach of the Year three times. Based in part on these coaching credentials, Bertman went on to work as associate head coach at the University of Miami for eight seasons (1976-1983) under Ron Fraser. During this time, the Hurricanes won the national championship in 1982 and, after Bertman left to become head baseball coach at LSU, the Hurricanes went on to win the championship again, in 1985.
