Seventeen years ago, BYU men’s volleyball head coach Shawn Olmstead lifted the men’s volleyball NCAA National Championship trophy as a libero for the Cougars.
In the 10-year gap between the national championship win and Olmstead being named head coach, BYU made the NCAA Championship game once in its two NCAA tournament appearances and won one MPSF Championship.
