New volleyball coach??? The current interim got shafted???
I hope the new coach was told to keep this year's coaches on her staff. I'm curious who was on the selection committee besides the AD.HateRed said:

besides not being Crissy Jones Schoonderwoerd, why are you not high on this coach?ncbears said:
I'm not excited by this hire. I will hope for the best.
Found this from 2022 where a columnist included her as someone to be considered at Mizzou. Some other interesting names in the article. Mizzou did hire one name on the list - Dawn Phillips from UNLV. https://www.columbiatribune.com/story/sports/college/tiger-extra/2022/12/03/10-possible-candidates-for-mizzou-volleyball-coaching-vacancy/69694527007/

While I agree Crissy did an admirable job filling in at the last minute, and definitely built some momentum for the program. Saying she turned recruiting around is not an accurate statement. She was hired in Feb of this year. Recruiting for this season (and most of next years class) had already been done. Not a knock on Crissy, just providing an accurate recruiting timeline.Schroeder71 said:
Jen Malcom Named Cal Volleyball Head Coach - California Golden Bears Athletics (calbears.com)
I follow volleyball from a distance. It really seemed that the interim coach, Crissy Jones Schoonderwoerd, had built some momentum for the program and turned recruiting around...
I hope that the key players from last season remain with the program as well as the recruits. Evidently, the new coach, Jen Malcom, age 38, was an associate head coach at UCLA. This move will likely work out over the long haul but I'm concerned about the current fragile state of affairs here in the short run.

Because I'm going to type Malcolm - instead of Malcom - too many times and some one will correct me each and every time.HoopDreams said:besides not being Crissy Jones Schoonderwoerd, why are you not high on this coach?ncbears said:

As I recall, Li was recruited by Crosson et al and committed a year ago (December 2022) but there was no public announcement. The current staff had two signees in November - neither from California - rather Texas and Georgia.3Cats4CAL said:Gobears21 said:While I agree Crissy did an admirable job filling in at the last minute, and definitely built some momentum for the program.

Agreed that on paper he seems like a good hire. I hope CJS finds a good spot - her performance last year, in my opinion, justifies it.Schroeder71 said:
Sato appears to be a top quality volleyball assistant coach. His resume should help recruiting in the future.
GO BEARS!
