About the Authors
Russ Rose (Pennsylvania State University) - Rose has coached the Lady Lions since 1979, piling up over 600 wins and 15 consecutive appearances in the NCAA tournament. Before joining the Big Ten in 1992, the Lady Lions played in the Atlantic 10 conference-and never lost a regular-season match, compiling a 49-0 record. Coach Rose was selected as American Volleyball Coaches' Association Coach of the Year in 1990 and 1997.
Lisa Love (University of Southern California) - Love has been the head coach of the Lady Trojans since 1989 and was named Associate Athletic Director in June of 1991. Prior to her appointment at USC, she built the University of Texas at Arlington program into a national powerhouse over seven seasons. Her teams have won over 350 NCAA Division I matches. Love has also served as President of the American Volleyball Coaches' Association.
John Dunning (University of the Pacific) - Dunning began coaching at Pacific in 1985 and promptly led his team to two consecutive NCAA national championships. His Pacific teams have won more than 80% of their games, even while playing in the extremely competitive Big West Conference. Other honors include finishing as NCAA national runner-up in 1990, three Big West Conference championships, and selection for the NCAA tournament in each year at Pacific. Dunning served as President of the American Volleyball Coaches' Association in 1993 and 1994.
Brad Saindon (Australian Women's National Team) - Saindon began the University of Colorado women's volleyball program in 1986. His Colorado teams achieved a 181-112 record, including seven consecutive appearances in the NCAA tournament, until Coach Saindon was selected to coach the Australian Women's National Team in 1997. The players Saindon recruited at Colorado have continued their success under their new coach, Pi'i Aiu, Saindon's long-time assistant, including a Sweet Sixteen appearance the season after Saindon's departure.
Greg Giovannazi (University of Michigan) - Giovannazi began coaching the Wolverines in 1992 after two years as the top assistant coach with the U.S. Women's National Team. His Michigan program has produced at least two Academic All-Big Ten players each year. In 1995, Michigan made its first post season tournament appearance since 1981 and in 1997 qualified for the NCAA tournament for the first time. Prior to arriving in Ann Arbor, Coach Giovannazi spent ten years as first assistant coach of the UCLA men's and women's volleyball programs, participating in a combined total of six NCAA Final Fours and earning three national championships.
Jim Stone (Ohio State University) - Stone began coaching the Buckeyes in 1982. His career as a head coach includes over 350 NCAA Division I wins, and his Ohio State teams have finished in the top three in the Big Ten each year since 1989. Stone's 1991 Buckeyes went undefeated in the Big Ten and finished as NCAA semifinalists while starting three freshmen. Stone was named National Coach of the Year for 1991 by the American Volleyball Coaches' Association.
