Short continues to build one of the most successful programs across all of Division II. In his ten years at the helm, Short has produced 12 All-Americans, the South Region Midfielder, Defender, and GK of the Year, and a pair of Final Four appearances. Short was named the 2015 SSC Coach of the Year and led the Tars to become the first SSC Champions in the tournament held in 2015.

Short successfully led the inaugural team in 2008 through an series of firsts, writing history along the way for the program, school, and state of Florida as Rollins became the first ever collegiate institution in the state to offer both varsity men's and women's lacrosse. In 2009, Short continued to produce success as he introduced a team that exploded into the national rankings and finished with an overall record of 12-3, just narrowly missing out on a bid to a post-season appearance. In 2010 the team went 9-5 and finished 13-4 in 2011, finishing the season ranked No. 8 in the country.

Upon joining the Rollins community back in the team's inception in March of 2007, Short brought 16 years of coaching experience to Rollins, including 10 years at the Division I level.

Prior to moving to Central Florida, Short was head women's lacrosse coach at the University at Albany (N.Y.) for four years and was the program's first ever full-time coach.

Short led the Great Danes to three straight America East Conference Tournament appearances and coached 11 all-conference players.

He also produced 28 All-America East All-Academic selections, two America East Women's Lacrosse Scholar Athlete of the year recipients and one Chancellor's Scholar Athlete.

Prior to Albany, Short was first assistant at The Ohio State University for six seasons and helped the program transition from club to NCAA Division I status. He coached both offense and goalkeepers for the Buckeyes, who were ranked among the nation's top 10 in scoring offense in 1999 and 2000.

A native of Chalfont, Pa., Short was an assistant at Ursinus College in Collegeville, Pa. from 1993-95. In his final season with the program, the nationally-ranked Bears reached the NCAA Division III quarterfinals.
