KU’s Best Move Was No Move in Volleyball Program

Jayhawks Volleyball Coach Ray Bechard is in his 18th season at KU and his 31st season overall. He's racked up more than 1,000 career victories, making him one of the winningest coaches in college sports.
Jayhawks Volleyball Coach Ray Bechard is in his 18th season at KU and his 31st season overall. He's racked up more than 1,000 career victories, making him one of the winningest coaches in college sports.

Since he was hired in January of 2011 as the athletics boss at the University of Kansas, Sheahon Zenger (SHAY-en ZANG-er) has fired two football coaches and one women’s basketball coach. The primary reason most coaches get fired is for not winning. In Zenger’s first year on the job, the women’s volleyball program struggled and the coach was on the hot seat. But Zenger didn’t show him the door. And, as Kansas Public Radio’s Greg Echlin reports, that decision has paid off.


The 9th-ranked Kansas Jayhawks' next match is Saturday at West Virginia.

Greg Echlin is the sports reporter for KPR and KCUR. Ever since he set foot on the baseball diamond at Fernwood Park on Chicago's South Side, Greg Echlin began a love affair with the world of sports. After graduating from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, he worked as a TV sports anchor and a radio sportscaster in Salina, Kansas. He moved to Kansas City in 1984 and has been there since covering sports. Through the years, he has covered multiple Super Bowls, Final Fours and Major League Baseball's World Series and All-Star games. With his high metabolism rate, Greg is able to enjoy a good meal and stay slim when he's not running around on the sports scene. He loves desserts, even making them. Cheesecakes, pies and parfaits are the most common around the Echlin household.
