MALIBU, Calif. (AP) Longtime Pepperdine men’s volleyball coach Marv Dunphy, who guided the U.S. men’s Olympic indoor team to a gold medal at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, is retiring from the university.
Pepperdine announced Monday that the 69-year-old Dunphy is calling it a career after four NCAA titles and more than 600 wins at the school. Dunphy coached at seven Olympics in all, serving as a confidante and adviser last summer to U.S. women’s coach Karch Kiraly – his former player on that winning ’88 team and a dear friend – as the Americans earned bronze at the Rio de Janeiro Games.
