Daub, who passes his winters in Mintonville, Ohio, was also among those that had warrants issued for his arrest.After his playing career was over, Dan became the coach of the Ohio Wesleyan University baseball team, a post he held for the 1902 season, then he resigned before the following season. His replacement was a ballplayer named Branch Rickey, who was recently ruled ineligible to play college ball due to his prior professional baseball career.
