Ahh the new direction movement. Red flag job if you ask me. She only had 1 full time assistant on staff by the looks of the website. Looks like another administration that wants more done with less.

Traditionally, Indiana State has been a tough gig. Terre Haute is not a town that will draw people in; the court where volleyball plays is odd; Indiana State has a budget in the bottom half of the Missouri Valley Conference - last time I looked, the budget was about half of other schools in the league. There are 10 teams in the league and only top 6 make tournament. Current budgeting and staffing make it difficult, if not impossible, to compete with top teams in the league. However, Indiana is full of talent, Illinois is a stones throw away(almost literally) and you are in the heart of an incredible volleyball area of the country. They should be able to finish first in the bottom half of the league (6th) and make the conference tournament on a fairly regular basis.

She's going to go play. Good for her and good luck. That window never opens again. Coaching will.

You can be tough, as long as youβre not toxic. Some coaches don't know the difference.

They should be able to finish first in the bottom half of the league (6th) and make the conference tournament on a fairly regular basis. You had me all the way up until "However...". Considering, outside of the teams that made the NCAA tournament (Wichita State, Missouri State and UNI), 6 of the remaining 7 are in Indiana or Illinois. So I'm not sure about your logic (or just weird comment) of these teams that are around areas "full of talent", would make the MVC tournament on a fairly regular basis... Making the MVC tournament would be a great accomplishment at Evansville and Indiana State. Traci did a solid job there, considering Indiana State's facilities are pretty weak. I have to agree with the new Admin that "wants more done with less" assessment. It's going to come to Admin support and money. Best of luck to her and whomever takes over.

I love these administrations that says "if you win, we'll fund your program."
That is like the fire department saying "if you put out the fire, we'll come with water."

Looks like another administration that wants more done with less. -Every- administration wants more done with less, whether NJCAA/NAIA or NCAA D-1. As karellen noted, Indiana State is in the heart of some good volleyball--but you need to recruit 'locally'. How many times do you see a 'big' hiring that flops at low/mid D-1 or D-2? How many times does that happen because the coach has zero ties to the area? Indiana State can win--it's a question of finding the right coach and whether that's tops on the admin agenda.
