Jim Toman (born November 28, 1961) is an American college baseball coach who was the head coach of Liberty from the 2008 season until 2016. Under Toman, Liberty has qualified for two NCAA Tournaments.
Toman, a 1985 graduate of NC State, played baseball for the Wolfpack from 1981–1984. He served as a team captain in 1983 and 1984 and was named to the All-Tournament Team at the 1984 ACC Tournament. His teammates included Doug Davis, Dan Plesac, Doug Strange, and Tracy Woodson. When Woodson became the head coach at Richmond ahead of the 2014 season, the two coached against each other.
After graduating, Toman worked as a high school coach for several years before starting his college coaching career in 1989 with a one-year stint at FIU. He then returned to his alma mater to serve as an assistant to Ray Tanner at NC State; he held the position from 1990–1996. When Tanner left for South Carolina for the 1997 season, Toman went with him and worked as an assistant for the Gamecocks from 1997–2007.
Toman left South Carolina to become the head coach at Liberty for the 2008 season. At his introductory press conference, Toman said, "I am very honored and excited to accept the head coaching position at Liberty University. My wife and family are also very excited to join the Liberty family and work in a Christian environment. I have enjoyed my 11 years at the University of South Carolina and take away many fond memories. I appreciate the opportunity Ray Tanner gave me to be a member of his staff. I am ready to get started on putting a quality staff together and continuing to move the program forward, having success both in conference and nationally."
