6 on 6 with South Carolina Head Coach Scott Swanson

Scott Swanson is the Head Volleyball Coach at the University of South Carolina, and a coach I have really enjoyed knowing for the last several years.  Both of us cut our head coaching teeth back in the day when he was at UTEP and I was at Tulsa.  


He went on to Minnesota as an Assistant coach and was a key factor in their great runs deep into the NCAA Championship.  I expect Coach Swanson to quickly build USC into a force in the SEC.
