As you enter your second season with the Mountaineers, what is your coaching phi-losophy and how has it evolved over this past year?

There seems to be a lot of hype building around volleyball here at WVU. How important is it to you that you have so much support from President James P. Clements and Director of Athletics Oliver Luck?
