Volleyball's Wizard of Westwood to retire at the end of this season: "The era of Al Scates coaching UCLA is a special era in collegiate athletics that, maybe because it's men's volleyball, most people don't appreciate." This will be Coach Scates 50th and final season as the head coach at UCLA, highlighted by 19 NCAA titles, 44 USMNT members, 27 Olympians, and 42 seasons of "mutually agreed-upon one-year contracts".

I've lived much of my life in Southern California. I played volleyball from age 13 to about age 33. In short, Al Scates is a Coaching God. He's right there with Wooden, Sir Alex, and Coach K.
