A good volleyball-player turned broadcaster who is missing in this article is Heather Cox, a former University of the Pacific volleyball player. She has covered volleyball, basketball and football, and she was at 2016 Olympics covering volleyball for NBC.

Amy Steele Gant? Broadcasting is a part-time gig for her, but I think she’s really good.

Actually, Nell is in there. Well, I won't hold it against you even though I thought about it. The good news, as I just learned, is that Nell appears to have landed a gig at UGa. I hope it isn't too presumptuous on my part to assume she will not be part of ESPN's NCAA volleyball coverage in 2019.

I think I could be very good on-air but I would need a good partner so that we can bounce things off each other, like Mystery Science Theater. I would also demand our silhouettes be shown on the bottom:

How does someone even go about getting into broadcasting for volleyball? Is it like coaching: you probably need to volunteer first?😋

How does someone even go about getting into broadcasting for volleyball? Is it like coaching: you probably need to volunteer first?😋 If you are talking about high level, like ESPN, then it seems most are former players or top coaches who are retired. If you are young just starting out, then college radio broadcasts might be a good way to gain some experience and pad your resume.

When I am watching a match (mostly Pac-12: either on their network or the ESPNs), I am one happy camper if Don Shaw is the analyst. Besides playing (ucsb) & coaching, he is NO homer/ knows his stuff: empirically! I got into the women's game (after playing/ coaching the men's) when he recruited Kristin Folkl to Stanford. That run of three NCs in four years sold me on Mr. Shaw!

Nell Fortner was just hired by Georgia Tech to coach basketball. Perfect thread timing.
