Shakedown at College of Southern Idaho...juicy stuff. The volleyball team has forteited their first four matches of the season while waiting for the NJCAA findings. Long time coach Ben Stroud has been fired. Most likely, this is regarding Stroud's use of foreign players. I'm sure many NJCAA coaches are not surprised. This isn't the first time CSI and Ben Stroud has been in trouble. From one of the articles below: "The program has had its dark moments --most notably the 2004 NJCAA sanction that ended CSI's season stemming from the program's inability to prove that Polish player Marta Siemiatkowska was not the team's fourth foreign-born player. NJCAA volleyball teams are allowed only three foreign scholarships. The sanction made CSI ineligible for postseason play, required the forfeiture of 34 matches, and cut the program's number of foreign scholarships to two for both the 2005 and 2006 seasons. A 10-person appeals committee made up of NJCAA Board of Directors members made the final ruling." That Marta Siemiatkowska is now at USC along with former CSI player JoAnna "Asia" Kaczor. www.magicvalley.com/articles/2006/08/25/breaking_news/doc44ef3b6d2f8c6483635696.txtwww.magicvalley.com/articles/2006/08/24/breaking_news/doc44ee1e701103a192876423.txtnews.pajamasmedia.com/science/2006/08/25/10468389_EDITORIAL_Beck_f.shtml

From CSI's website: www.csi.edu/athletics/Vball.htmHead coach Ben Stroud has created a volleyball dynasty at the College of Southern Idaho. In the past 12 years, the Golden Eagles have won the national title seven times and placed third twice, fourth once, and fifth once. No team in the history of the NJCAA has more national titles – and NO ONE has ever put together a string of 190 straight match wins. The CSI program also holds the second longest win streak at 101. In the past 12 years, the Golden Eagles have lost just 71 times, winning 585 matches for a .892 winning percentage. Not only has CSI won eight national titles, the Golden Eagles have had 26 All-Americans, seven AVCA players of the year and eight national tournament MVPs in the past 12 years. Of the 15 athletes named to the NJCAA All-Century Team, CSI was represented with three selections.

Head coach Ben Stroud begins his 21st year at the College of Southern Idaho where he has created a junior college volleyball dynasty.
For the last 12 years, Stroud has coached the Golden Eagles to seven national titles, two third-place finishes, one fourth-place finish, and one fifth-place finish, posting a 585-71 record.
But his success reaches back farther than his first national title in 1993. Stroud learned how to win at Camas County High School in Fairfield, Idaho. He was an outstanding athlete, winning state titles in the mile and 2-mile races at the Idaho State Track and Field Championships. He helped his basketball team to a state championship in 1974. From there, Stroud attended Treasure Valley Community College in Ontario, Ore., and graduated from Boise State University with a bachelor’s degree in physical education. He earned his master’s degree in athletic administration from Idaho State University.
His coaching career began in the confines of a small high school gym in Dietrich, Idaho. In 1985, Stroud made the move to CSI. In his 19 years as head volleyball coach, Stroud has compiled a record of 869-131, winning 87 percent of the time. Stroud, 45, also served as the CSI women’s basketball coach for seven years, winning region titles twice. The last Region 18 championship came in the 1992-93 school year. The next season, Stroud decided to focus on volleyball.
Since switching to volleyball only:
He has won the national title seven times, placed third twice, fourth once, and fifth once. He was named NJCAA national tournament coach of the year in 1993, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98 and 2000. He has coached 26 All-Americans. He has coached six AVCA Players of the Year. He has coached seven NJCAA national tournament most valuable players. He put together a 190-match win streak, dating from September 1994 to September 1997. He has been featured on the cover of Coaching Volleyball. Winning seven national championships aren’t the only firsts Stroud and his teams have accomplished.
The Golden Eagles hold the two longest win streaks in college volleyball. One spanned four seasons and 190 straight matches. The other win streak ended at 101 straight victories and spanned two seasons. CSI is the first team to have seven national tournament MVPs. CSI is the first team to win seven national titles. Stroud is the only coach to win seven NJCAA coach of the year awards.
Stroud’s winning ways continue at home with wife, Shari and two children, Casey and Hailey. When he’s not in the gym, Stroud likes to fish. Ben Stroud's year by year Records since 1993
Year Overall Record Region 18 Finish NJCAA finish Prior to 1993 295-96 1993 44-1 First National Champions 1994 62-3 First National Champions 1995 65-0 First National Champions 1996 60-0 First National Champions 1997 61-1 First National Champions 1998 59-0 First National Champions 1999 46-3 First Third 2000 49-5 Second National Champions 2001 49-3 First Fifth 2002 34-5 First Third 2003 49-5 First Fourth 2004 7-36 Third ----

Updates: magicvalley.com/articles/2006/08/27/news_topstory/news_topstory.1.txtOverspending? Well, this gets more interesting. If I remember correctly, the sanction from 2004 was because Marta Siemiatkowska could not provide sufficient evidence that she paid her own way to CSI. Is there a connection? And how many more shady dealings were going on behind the scenes between Stroud and the athletic director Duggan? Will CSI have to forfeit some or all of those national championship titles? I'm sure we'll find out soon enough. Stroud has a knack for recruiting foreign players, all who went on to have successful DI/DII careers.

Update: SummarySeason cancelled.
- Aneli Cubi-Otineru redshirts.
- Three years of eligibility when transfering to UH
magicvalley.com/articles/2006/08/27/sports_local/sports_local.1.txtCubi-Otineru hopes to transfer to the University of Hawaii after graduating from CSI. The Rainbow Wahine recruited her out of high school. While the decision to sit out will give her an extra year of eligibility at the NCAA Division I level, it will cost her a year of playing with younger sister, freshman Kawena Cubi-Otineru at CSI. “It was hard. It was really hard,” Aneli said of her decision. “Her coming up here was for us to play together because you never know when the last time you’ll have that chance is. I was proud of her (today). She held up high. She pushed. She did well.”

They won't get a chance to defend their title in the postseason. “We weren’t going to be able to play in nationals or regionals,” Cubi-Otineru said of her decision to take a redshirt year. “We’re still going to have a season and everything, but it will help me focus on my schoolwork and have a chance to go to a Division I and have three years to play.”

I'm still puzzled by her academic difficulties given that she went to Punahou. Well, "puzzled" is not the right word; "disappointed" is. Disappointed in Punahou.

You are right...thanks for the correction.
Hopefully, Aneli will keep in great volleyball shape during her redshirt year. The good thing is that she'll have 3 years to play at UH if things work out and rom the sound of things, UH could surely use her ball handling skills.

CSI receives letter from NJCAA outlining seven violations. magicvalley.com/articles/2006/08/28/breaking_news/doc44f3947d24434881235463.txtCSI's seven violations 1) Permitting a student-athlete to receive assistance, in cash or kind, which is not administered by the institution, or which does not fall within the permissible limits of grant-in-aid. 2) A member institution's athletic department staff member may visit a prospect at any location for recruiting purposes. However, on any such visit, the staff member may not expend any funds other than the amount necessary for his/her own personal expenses. 3) If a student-athlete decides to enroll in another NJCAA member college, having already signed a valid NJCAA Letter of Intent and prior to fulfilling the terms of the original Letter of Intent, that student-athlete would be banned from representing the second NJCAA member college in intercollegiate athletic competition until the term of the original Letter of Intent had expired ... 4) All NJCAA institutions are obligated to respect a student-athlete's signing and shall cease any further recruitment. 5) Failing to report violations to NJCAA, a violation in itself 6) An athletics staff member or other representative of the institution's athletics interest shall not make contact for the purpose or recruiting, with the student-athlete of another NJCAA member institution. 7) All student-athletes participating in any one of the NJCAA-certified sports must have passed a physical examination administered by a qualified health care professional licensed to administer physical examinations, prior to the first practice for each calendar year in which they compete.

I went to the local sports section to see what the latest was, but it appears you have to subscribe in order to search their archives or read current articles. So, are there any recent developments?
