Off to what I would call a "significant" start going 2-1 with wins over Manhattan, Chicago State, and a 5 set loss to Evansville. Looked like the crowd and the team were definitely into it. Nice going team and coaching staff! Way to "believe!" ;) jc

Anyone know what happened to Dan Brown, i see he isn't listed as an assistant coach anymore, actually they don't show an assistant for Volleyball. I thought him and Kelly were pretty close, plus I think he was a pretty good recruiter.

I heard it was a forced resignation of him and the GA. Issues between the two culminated in a situation that an administrator had to resolve by asking for their resignations. Heard that the players were upset that he had to leave and met with the AD in hopes to reverse the outcome. Hope him and his family rebound well from this. He is a good guy.

Bummer, thanks for the update, I thought him and Kelly had things going in the right direction.

Based on the teams record, it looks like a number of changes might be needed.

Were never going to be an elite program but really thought that they might be coming back to respectability.

Woah, wasn't expecting that.. I assume it was totally her decision, since we really don't have an AD. Although they had been disappointing, I thought she had a chance of getting things going in the right direction.
