Not replying is a sign of a lack of support/focus for the volleyball program. Good coaches will be turned off and away by that.

Yet almost all the AD's serious about the VB program do. Many have the convo going well before its announced.

UCI needs to play all their games at the Bren Center arena and quit playing at Crawford Court, which is a complete dump and the worst facility in all of college sports.
I was extremely impressed with Pickrell when I saw her play last season.

I was extremely impressed with Pickrell when I saw her play last season. As someone who has been going to Crawford Court for twenty years, I like it. The Crawford gym has character. It fills up with fans so the fans have an impact on the match. The Bren Center is too large. There is no sense of fans being into the game.

I hope there continues to be more women's volleyball matches played in the Bren because it suggests a greater status for the program, but I also happen to enjoy Crawford, and I agree it has character.

Win or lose UCI will make any team sweat it out at Crawford. Literally!

Was this posted by a spam bot? Have spam bots infiltrated Volley Talk? Unfortunately not!!! I wish it was not true but a quick google landed me on this one! Looks like it is at least partially true. I am not sure if this will make a significant difference in who is willing to accept the position, but it just might... www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-american-flag--ban-uc-irvine-20150306-story.htmlWritten by student Matthew Guevara of the School of Social Ecology, the resolution states: "The American flag has been flown in instances of colonialism and imperialism" and notes that flags "construct paradigms of conformity and sets homogenized standards."

I find this interesting because Irvine is considered to be perhaps the most conservative of the UC schools.

I find this interesting because Irvine is considered to be perhaps the most conservative of the UC schools. "Conservative" is a very relative term when speaking of UC System student councils. At any rate, if one were to list an HC candidate's concerns about taking a new job, "Student Politics" would rank around 242nd. Right behind "do they serve brussel sprouts in the cafeteria?"

I despise brussels sprouts, so whether or not its on the menu would be pretty high on my list. Otherwise, I agree that the student council flag thing is probably not relevant to a new coach.

Has the job been posted? I can't seem to find anywhere on the typical sites.

I would like to see UCI hire someone who puts recruiting at the top of their priority list. You can't move up without the talent. Paula did ok at recruiting. I was hoping for more elite players. I saw her all the time at SoCal club tournaments but the time spent did not translate into top results.
UCI's women's water polo team is ranked #5 in the country. Other than fewer schools participating in water polo, why is there a consensus opinion UCI WVB can't get to a level of national ranking?
Tanner has name recognition and a direct connection to the club scene. I don't know if he has the personality for recruiting or if he is even looking for a college job.
IVC won its first ever California community college championship this past season so it might be the time for Pestolesi to make a move. Pestolesi is known in the local area but has no national name recognition. He has been at a community college forever where there is very little recruiting involved. I don't know if he would want to put the time and effort into recruiting.
Misty May was raised in Newport Beach. I don't know what she is doing now or if she any interest. Her lack of head coaching experience might rule her out although name recognition could counterbalance the lack of experience.
Karch would be a good choice but he already has a job.
The winning choice will likely be someone few people know much about. I would be fine with that if she/he is a tireless recruiter the likes of Mick Haley.
