It does seem like D1 experience is more valued than any other level (for good reason). I would say turn over every stone until you find a volunteer position or maybe even an assistant position or other staff position at an obscure D1 school. Then start working your way up from there. Experience within a level is not proven to be as important for determining future success as past success is. You are more likely to have success with a new coach by hiring one with past success--regardless of level. Thus, if you want to hire a coach who will win at State Tech, you are better off hiring the D3 coach who's gone 93-5 over the past three seasons than a D1 assistant. Assistant coach experience is best for being a better assistant. And part of the reason why has been mentioned before. Coaches at places like the D3 or juco level have experience actively managing every aspect of a program in hands on fashion.

It came from something in Bill James' online site. He went off on what to look for in a baseball manager and why great players aren't successful managers and went from there. Did he discuss it in terms of volleyball? No. But I think it holds true anyways. If I can find a link that isn't behind his paywall, I will send it to you.
