I hope Jenn stays as well. If she's being forced out, I'll devote all of my diminishing energy rooting for the Rainbow Wahine VB team.
Where did Lydia Grote end up?
Come visit me in Hawaii!

louisville went and lost in the finals to texas. lazaro was their all american setter. she used to set to USC. she was pac 12 freshman of the year for USC when she went to USC. i remember her setting. i thought she graduated. that is why the new setter for usc this past season was there. well she went as a grad transfer to louisville and took them all the way to the finals. they beat oregon in semis 3-2. paige blue shirted 2021 and was in competition to set until lazaro transferred. I guess they got another transfer setter so paige decided to transfer too. lets hope she does transfer to Cal. keeping fingers crossed. not final till they sign agreement. paige was pennsylvania gatoraide player of the year apparently and also pennsylvania high school player of the year. high school all american as well. she is a BA major so maybe hass business school potential? time for bedtime.SanseiBear said:

how funny. my seats have been section F row 46 seats 5-8. just above you. i was screaming at the team that year. went to the cheezit bowl vs TCU ironic how things get intertwined. well i will be 74 this year, but feeling my birthdays even more. lets see what happens with transfers and such and hopefully jenn is still with the team. you can stay at my place up in the foothills angels camp. it is a 2 1/2 hr drive. i show you around bear valley, yosemite, tahoe to name a few. Mahalo to you Isami. hope for positive vibes. chris iwataSanseiBear said:
Small world! I used to have season tickets in Section F, row 40, seat 10 (I believe), but I stopped after the 2018 season. I haven't been back to CMS since then, especially with the pandemic situation and my age (84 this month). Yes, I live in Honolulu.
I was thinking of going to see a volleyball match this coming season since I do help them out by buying season tickets, but only if Jenn is still there. I used to take Hawaii delicacies for her and the team. Let's see what happens in the next few weeks (months).
Take care!
Mahalo,

Jenn is the Associate Head Coach, so I would doubt they are replacing her with these two assistants who have far less coaching experience.SanseiBear said:

good catch bear 72. probably reason if volleyball also has that privilege to add two more assistants. lets hope the louisville portal transfer does indeed sign with Cal.SFCALBear72 said:Jenn is the Associate Head Coach, so I would doubt they are replacing her with these two assistants who have far less coaching experience.SanseiBear said:

Maybe no one is leaving. Starting this fall, both men's and women's basketball can add two assistant coaches. The only stipulation is that they can't recruit off-campus. Perhaps volleyball is allowed to do the same.
Totally agree about Jenn!SFCALBear72 said:Jenn is the Associate Head Coach, so I would doubt they are replacing her with these two assistants who have far less coaching experience.SanseiBear said:

If so, her Instagram page shows her decked out in Cal gear and on campus on January 19.
Plus, this from NCAA.com on volleyball transfers 2023:
Other transfer notables include: Paige Morningstar, Louisville to Cal (setter)
Savannah Rennie will be our recruiting coordinator according to the CalBears.com story I posted.

Not a good sign that Jenn is returning. Under the staff directory for Volleyball the 2 new assistants are listed but Associate Head Coach is a "TBA" .SanseiBear said:Totally agree about Jenn!SFCALBear72 said:Jenn is the Associate Head Coach, so I would doubt they are replacing her with these two assistants who have far less coaching experience.SanseiBear said:

I watched the Hawaii Rainbow Wahine 1st round NCAA match against LSU at Stanford on ESPN+, and when the camera caught Jenn sitting in the stands behind the Hawaii bench, there were a number of posts from Rainbow Wahine fans on the game thread about her. Hawaii fans are so passionate and appreciative about remembering players who represented the school well, and Jenn is one of them.
When Cal becomes a decent team again, I'm sure they'd be invited to come back to Hawaii to play. They were supposed to have come in that first COVID season, but Hawaii and the Pac-12 cancelled the fall season.

This may be a result of a compromise reached between Crosson and Knowlton.
Does JK ever exert pressure on coaches to make changes? I haven't heard of that happening in other sports. And why would JD leaving be desirable? I wonder if she just got a HC gig somewhere?

Ha Ha !!! of all people who posts great news about Cal all the time. yes i will figure out how to PM to you. take care.wvitbear said:
Hey Lodebear. I'm a retired optometrist too. Send me a message. I don't know how.
It's official. Jenn and Octavio are longer on the staff.SFCALBear72 said:I know. I looked for that too.SanseiBear said:

Coaching Staff
The free-fall in volleyball and women's basketball is breathtaking in a bad way. I honestly don't understand how they've both been allowed to collapse without a change in coaches. For me, the buck stops at the AD office since he's in charge of all sports and aside from aquatics which have been strong for decades, gymnastics, and a few standout track athletes, it's been a horror show. Men's golf has a great recruiting class coming in. Women's golf continues to suck azz, baseball the same, softball - meh, and frankly, rugby is a side. Wow.Polodad said:
It is an often used tactic. If the HC is failing, dump the assistants. It usually buys another few years, and maybe a turn around.
