In the fall of 1999, Roth joined the staff of Jeff Stewart at Illinois State from 2000 to 2002 where he worked with the Redbird hitters and outfielders.[1] In the fall of 2002, he joined the staff of Brian Shoop at Birmingham–Southern, where he worked the Panther hitters, but he then left after a single year to join Dewey Kalmer's staff at Bradley. He returned to Birmingham–Southern in the summer of 2004.[2] When Shoop was hired as the head baseball coach for the UAB Blazers, he brought Roth with him to continue instructing hitters and outfielders.[3] On May 13, 2020, Roth was named the interim head baseball coach of the Blazers for the 2021 season, following the retirement of Shoop.[4]
