It got Arizona women’s basketball to the national title game. It got Arizona softball to an unlikely Women’s College World Series. Will putting a former player in charge of Arizona volleyball have the same results?

Arizona Athletics decided to give former Wildcats middle blocker and long-time associate head coach Charita Stubbs her opportunity to make that happen. The department announced on Wednesday morning that Stubbs would succeed her former coach and mentor, Dave Rubio, as head coach of Wildcat volleyball.

“I am incredibly excited to name Charita Stubbs as our next head volleyball coach,” Arizona Athletic Director Dave Heeke said in the department’s press release.
