Ask the coach. The coaches submit those type of press releases to the ath dept. Probably too busy with finishing the season, maybe she is embarrassed by results and wants to keep a low profile. Think they usually did something on the new recruits in the past.

They used to announce the new signees/recruits. No idea why there wasn't an announcement this year unless there are not any? They certainly used to announce the signings.
Really tough year. I agree this was the year to see real progress with the big class becoming Juniors. I didn't see enough of them to really know or see the problems but obviously something ain't right. I was hoping for them, pulling for them but something has to change.

Wish I could say I am surprised but I am sad as I did like Arlissa. this was supposed to be the year she made a move in the BE though.
Will be interesting to see how much interest there is in the job with the reduced scholarship level. The upside is that the new facilities should help.

Will be interesting to see how much interest there is in the job with the reduced scholarship level. The upside is that the new facilities should help. She was well liked, great person. She was well liked and respected amongst her fellow volleyball coaches throughout the country. I think the lack of admin support really started to weigh on her and her ability to succeed on the court. It will be interesting to see if the admin decides to get behind volleyball and make the commitment needed to the program, or if they will maintain the status quo. If they dont increase financial support, I doubt you will see much interest amongst the top candidate pool. Who they hire will tell us everything we need to know about what the admin has decided regarding volleyball support.

Georgetown's history of not caring much about volleyball dates back to coach Nagel when she led her 1998 team to a Big East title and an NCAA berth. She left for Duke at the end of that year partly due to the lack of support from the athletic department and university. She knew she could not have sustained success without the full financial backing of the university. She was correct as Arlisa came in and has struggled to compete in the BE.
I hope things change with this hire and the admin decides to go all in with volleyball. But, i dont think that will happen.

Any info on what direction the AD is going to take in hiring a new coach? Any info you have and can share direct message me or post here. Would love to know the circumstances surrounding the search and if Arlisa quit because of the continued lack of funding/support from the administration.
