this makes me happy. Sealy did not break $200k for 2020 or 2021 including "other pay". Often I forget about inflation. I was still thinking Sealy was making around $150k, plus maybe $30k "other pay". From your data it is clear that Sealy was given a 5 year contract starting 2016 season, through 2020 season... then rolled over one year for 2021 due to Covid, and I assume rolled over one more year for 2022 also due to Covid disruptions, and co-COY honors in the P12. I'm guessing Sealy's co-COY for 2021 is what prevented the AD from firing him, and led to another one year contract for 2022 How does an annual listing of his salary correlate to his contract duration? Those annual figures would be the same regardless of his contract status. And it's highly unlikely that he received two consecutive 1 year contract extensions (in 2020 and 2021). Relooking at it, I think he got a new 5 yr. contract for 2017-2021. It was his base salary that makes me infer that. 143k 2013, 143k 2014, 143k 2015, then 2016 base salary jumped to 158k (guessing this was a COLA increase in lieu of new contract). Then 2017 jumped to 180k. 2018 and 2019 same +$3k (guessing COLA), 2020 same +3k, 2021 same +3k. also guessing 2020-2021 increase was COLA increase, probably system wide. You don't go from 158 base to 182 base unless there is a new contract... and that contract took 182 base for five years. That was my reasoning. Then for 2022, either b/c of Covid disruption, or he was put on a Performance Improvement Plan, they extended his 5 year contract by 1 year. Then end of 2022, did not meet PIP requirements, so end of contract, they did not renew it. |

Then end of 2022, did not meet PIP requirements, so end of contract, they did not renew it. I think a 5 year contract extension in 2017, and a 1 year extension for '22 is a likely possibility. What seems the most probable is that '22 marked the end of a contract, whether a 1 yr extension or a prior longer one. The other option would have been a non-renewal. If Sealy had any years left on his contract, it would not have made much sense for him to resign. He would have been better off letting UCLA fire him, and walk away with a lump sum payment. |

I’m not so sure about the last part and letting the school fire you. It does not look good on one’s resume. Money is not always the end all. Maybe Mike has aspirations to continue to coach. Being fired is not a good look. I know I myself would hate hate hate hate to be fired. You can always spin the story when you resign. Maybe seeking other opportunities. Maybe you had personal/family issues. Maybe it health related. Mental fatigue. No way to spin your way out of being fired. Being fired is being fired. |

I think if he had aspirations to continue coaching (at least anytime soon), he would or could have worded the reasons for resigning differently. He could have said any of those things you mentioned, but he made it a point to say that his passion didn't match that of his players. |

I think it’s time to let Sealy and talk of him go.
It’s been such a running topic and we are in a new age of UCLA women’s volleyball.
Do we have any solidified staff around Reft yet?

Iowa State not been doing great for them recently, but still pretty good, and way beyond their success before CJL! Long time assistant at a good program! Plus, you know, they beat Texas in 2022! No one else did! |

I assume that his speciality will be working with passing/defense, looks like Malcom would sure up the middles. Do we have confirmation that Pendergast is leaving? Seems like she was on a roll recruiting wise and I’m sure it’d be nice to keep that rapport up. |

She was a big part of the problem. Her recruiting was mediocre and she made a lot of enemies by contacting committed recruits from other programs when she wasn’t landing kids. |

Ahh that latter half I did not know. If not her then hopefully someone that will do a good job attracting CA/west coast talent before they start looking north at Stanford and Oregon |

Remember, UCLA will be in the BIG10 starting 2024. Tbh I don’t think those will come in full force until after a couple of years in the B1G once the idea of living in California but playing near home for conference season becomes a more imaginable possibility for those athletes. I think after that realization, you see a BIG jump for USC/UCLA. If they can start getting some Munciana and equal type talent interested. |

Frankly they will be just fine without Munciana, if they can convince Sunshine, TStreet, SG Elite, Long Beach, Laguna Beach, Wave and Coast players not to leave SoCal. Serena Gray: SG Elite Buzzerio: Coast Kami Miner: Long Beach Kendal Kipp: Laguna Beach Elia Rubin: Sunshine Sam Francis: Coast Zoe Fleck: Sunshine Karson Bacon: TStreet Kashauna Williams: Long Beach Lauren Bays: TStreet Rachel Fairbanks: TStreet Nalani Iosia: Long Beach Morgan Lewis: Wave Marin Grote: SG Elite Kylie Robinson: SG Elite 2023 Julia Blyashov: Wave Torrey Stafford: Sunshine Noemie Glover: Coast Claire Little: Coast |

If not her then hopefully someone that will do a good job attracting CA/west coast talent before they start looking north at Stanford and Oregon Nebraska, Texas, Minn, Wisconsin, Penn State all have gotten recruits to change their mind and capitalized on it after they were committed. To assume those recruits were never contacted by schools after they were committed or before they signed NLI seems pretty far fetched to me. So with that reasoning in mind it doesn't make sense to me to rule out an assistant coach working for someone else for that particular reason. Fleck called Pendergast one of the best coaches she ever had and was PAC LOY in 2020 and 2021. Sealy won his FIRST COY in 2021 and UCLA was one point away from a Pac 12 Championship with Luper out for most of the year. I do agree UCLA needs to recruit SoCal better, but in my experience kids not wanting to play for Sealy was more of an issue than anything else. Alfee has already said he is bringing in new staff, Jen Malcolm being one of them. So that covers the recruiting aspect of the staff anyways. |
