Rita Stubbs’ first season as the head coach of her alma mater will also be Arizona volleyball’s last season in the Pac-12. Those are just some of the beginnings and endings the Wildcats prepare for as they start the year with the annual Red-Blue intrasquad game.
As she prepares her team for a year that’s bound to include a lot of changes for them, Stubbs is also reflecting on the changes she made in herself to prepare for her second experience as a head coach. The first time, things didn’t go so well. She spent four years at the helm at North Carolina State and went 22-111.
