Don't follow volleyball that closely, but this appears like it could be a very solid hire.  But volleyball is one of my daughters favorite sports so think I'll be watching more in the near future with her, so hopefully Coach Tupac is able to get UND back to where we were a few years ago (which seems like an eternity).

His wife was an All-American libero at Iowa State and a member of Team USA for a few years.  She runs a volleyball recruiting service.

Did a little digging on her and she actually played at the Betty back in 2013 when the UND Classic featured Iowa State.  She was named to the All-tournament team.

Another short timer who might turn it around, hate the weather, then leave.  We then go 1-30.  Hope I am wrong 

Turning it around would be a good thing

Having spent time at Denver, Iowa St, and Penn St, he's not exactly a warm weather guy.  With that said, I hope he gets promoted to a B1G head coaching job in 6 years.

As was I.  Iowa St. was ranked #15 nationally.  Texas A&M was also in the field.  Probably the two best NCAA volleyball programs ever to come to Grand Forks.

As opposed to what exactly? I’ll take anyone who will succeed to the point of moving on up in the coaching world.

if someone does well enough to move up "normally" the transition to the next coach goes smooth and well...like NDAC football up to Entz....we on the other hand airballed it....moustache to muss...not good...then the bubba over kalen ...good god...should've just hired "chuck the pigskin" guy....

straight white male coaching women...certain someone at twamley didn't sleep well last night.

You'll be surprised who the two leads for the hiring process were then.

As opposed to a guy that doesn't want to be here cause he has no connection, ups and leaves, forcing Chaves to hire his assistant in a rush decision cause he doesn't have the time to open it up for required length of time again.  Crazy right

Seems like a bit of a unique situation don’t you think?
