When Booth started as head coach for Creighton in 2003, the volleyball team was playing in a high school gym. When Booth and the Jays hosted Nebraska last week, it was in front of a NCAA-record crowd of 14,022 fans. According to Creighton Athletics, in the 6 years prior to Booth taking the head coaching job, Creighton had a total of 12,124 home fans in 64 matches. In one game, the Jays had more fans than they did throughout an entire six-year period.
Coach Booth's impact goes beyond getting fans to the game. You can see it in the new women’s practice facility currently being built.
