Coach Berry you are amazing. Your selfless attitude for your players, staff and this University is amazing.
As your daughter said it has been a garden you have cultivated over time. I am sure it has not been always easy but God has blessed you through it. I am thankful for U. https://t.co/p86PVF50C8— Joye Lee-McNelis (@CoachMcNelis) May 16, 2023

It’s so impressive what Scott Berry did in following a legend in Corky Palmer and continuing that legacy and making USM an consistent threat.
That’s so tough to do, let alone at a mid-major.
I always came away so enthralled with Scott anytime our path’s crossed.#SMTTT https://t.co/u0sIzHDc5Q

Scott Berry is a coaching legend. More importantly, he’s a good man who values family, mentors athletes, and exemplifies hard work, loyalty, and dedication. I’m proud @MCCEagles and @MCCEaglesBSB were part of his journey. https://t.co/APzp2RPveZ

What a legacy 40 will have. Coach Berry is a great man and baseball coach. Deer, turkeys, and fish beware, Scott Berry will have more free time to help control the animal population. 🐐 https://t.co/LXxqcJrKuG

Over the past 14 seasons Scott Berry has built an incredible culture around @SouthernMissBSB consistently churning out top 25 ball clubs with a shot to make it to Omaha. I’m excited to see how far this program will go with the foundation he’s laid down in Hattiesburg https://t.co/9WJRtU044O
