Unfortunately, I think that administrators very rarely take injuries into account when considering a team's success or failure. From conversations that I have had, they tend to believe that if a coach is recruiting well then injuries can/should be absorbed. I don't know if that will be enough for Geoff to be free from scrutiny. Which I agree with, until we start talking about those programs that are quite a ways from fully funded scholarship-wise. One or two injuries with only half a team on scholarship is definitely going to hurt. I dont think thats an accurate statement. Knowing something about the program and geoff, I would say its more likely to be made up that it is to even have an ounce of truth

He berated her in the locker room after a match calling her fat. He berated a recruit in the locker room after a match, calling her fat? What??

Amend my earlier list slightly -- possible hot seats?
Oklahoma, Memphis, Miss State, DePaul

Did you mean to quote the fat recruit post instead of this one?

Wondering if this is the year that the departments that traditionally don't care about volleyball at all finally decide to start caring. It is starting to look that way with BC and Georgetown both open. Now, let's see what else comes along....

This is Geoff from OSU. I chose to connect with this discussion knowing I will likely open myself up to attacks. In the end that fear did not supersede my hopes to reach out and bridge some gaps. And let’s be honest. As a father of 3 young boys who, with all my deficiencies and weaknesses, does my best to give my whole heart to my players, staff and program, it’s pretty personal.
Us not making the tourney this year is completely on me and I have no issue with folks saying so. Regardless of our situation this season, I had and will continue to have many sleepless nights grinding over how I could have made this team better. But I couldn’t get us there. So understand my reasons for posting have nothing to do with that, I expect and deserve to be questioned when we fail to make the tourney.
I have had many coaches reach out to me this week since my name came up in this post, local and distant, club and college. To you I thank you for your kind words and insight. While this forum is thought to be anonymous, our community is too small to think that people don’t know who’s on it. My hope is to open a dialogue with anyone who wants to connect, including those commenting on this thread. My phone number is 614.483.3574 and my email is carlston.3@osu.edu. I genuinely would love to talk.
Thanks to the local coaches for calling me this week, while I have lots of room to grow and am sure some don’t care for me, it was great to affirm our friendships. Leary, Hughes, Appold, Witte, Wenz are all local kids. We’ve only had one Ohio kid that we have offered not come here in the past 8 years. That’s not to say we haven’t missed because we have, one of them kicked our butt a few weeks ago at Iowa.
We let a player go this season for behaviors that were not inline with our program. Nobody was arrested as was alluded to in this post. It was the first player I had ever let go from our team at Ohio State.
I found out about the article posted on Gloria Mituri from her older sister the day it came out, a few weeks after she had called to tell me she needed to stay closer to her home. She wanted me to know that they had contacted the newspaper to get an apology and retraction because they had never even spoken to any of them. They called to let me know she appreciated our staff and all we had done for Gloria. If you know this young woman than you understand her incredible story and, in the end, why she needed to stay closer to her 3 sisters. KState got an amazing person.
I did have my first young lady on scholarship transfer this year in my 18 years at Concordia St Paul, Ohio U and Ohio State. It sucked and still sucks. As I told Michaela at Clemson and every other coach I spoke to, this kid is one of the neatest people I have coached. After we spoke with her and her family it became clear that this was the best thing for them. We have supported her since that day, Clemson is a perfect fit and I know she will do amazing things there.
Finally, as for the confusing post regarding using negative body images or anything in that realm of our young women, there are a thousand people other than me that can defend how ridiculous that is. I have my Masters in Social Work, was in the Peace Corps and before coaching I worked very closely with young women and men on suicide watch, cutting, helped them navigate horribly traumatic events. You can criticize me for my record or for recruiting but do not assume you can make up such things in anonymity. Call me and we can talk about whatever you would like.
I appreciate so many people in this amazing volleyball community. In many ways it is like a family. With such bad things happening in the world I challenge us to be better and have meaningful conversations. I absolutely include myself in this first and foremost. I hope this is a step in the right direction.
